Magic Johnson: I forgave Donald Sterling a long time ago

Magic Johnson doesn't hold grudges, even against former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

It was Sterling's negative comments toward Johnson and other African-Americans that eventually led to Sterling's ousting as the Clippers' owner last year.

Johnson spoke with TMZ on Sunday and said, despite what went down, he forgave Sterling "a long time ago."

"I don't keep grudges," the NBA Hall of Famer added.

Despite his recent shots at the Clippers, primarily because of their early playoff exit, Johnson was complimentary of the franchise's new logo.

"If (owner Steve) Ballmer loves it and Chris Paul and them love it, I love it," Johnson said.
