Oprah interested in buying Clippers

Oprah Winfrey, David Geffen and Larry Ellison will join together in a bid to buy the Los Angeles Clippers if the NBA's board of governors votes to force Donald Sterling to sell the team, Geffen told ESPN's Jeremy Schaap on Wednesday.

Geffen said he and Ellison would run the team, while Winfrey would be an investor.

James David Geffen also told ESPN's Jeremy Schaap that LeBron James was interested in playing in Los Angeles when he was a free agent in 2010. But James, who ultimately signed with the Heat, told Geffen he wouldn't play for Sterling.
