Michael Jordan says he's both disgusted and outraged by the racist comments allegedly made by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

Jordan released a statement on Sunday night addressing the matter as both a current owner and a former player.

"As an owner, I'm completely disgusted that a fellow team owner could hold such sickening and offensive views," the statement said. "And as a former player, I am completely outraged."

An audio recording obtained by TMZ alleges that Sterling made racist comments to a girlfriend, including urging her not to bring black friends to Clippers games.

Condemnation of the recording has even come from President Barrack Obama during his tour of Southeast Asia.

The NBA and the Clippers are investigating, including whether the male voice on the recording is in fact Sterling's.
