While the rest of the NBA world is focused on LeBron James and various other Melo-drama, Donald Sterling took the stand for the second day in his trial to determine if his wife, Shelly, had acted in accordance with the family trust when she tried to sell the Los Angeles Clippers on her own. The first day of testimony featured some colorful comments from Donald, and Day 2 was just as outlandish. From NBC LA’s Kim Baldonado:
