I was just flipping through TV and came upon a college b-ball game... I watched it for a few seconds and realized there were absolutely NO white guys on the court! Not even the referrees!

Is it just cuz white men can't jump or what?
 
You talking about the Big East Final UCONN vs. Pitt, yea on both teams there was one white player. Not a big deal, whites just aren't that good at basketball. Except there are some European white guys who are coming over (Novitski (spell) is awesome in the NBA.

BTW I was at the UCONN vs. PITT game ... what a game.
 


<< but look! theres a black dude playing hockey!!!

blasphemy! 🙂 >>


haha, but didn't he get cracked over the head and knocked unconcious by whitey!? 😉 😛
 
hmm there are some really good white players in the PAC-10 (west coast)

there are decent white players in the nba as well...to name a few mark miller (magic) white chocolate (grizzlies) umm...yeah that's all i can think of right now lol...pedro on the kings...
 


<< Most white guys that do okay in high school go to college to learn not to play prof sports. >>



that was the most idiotic post i have read in a while... what does color have to do with whether or not you go to college to play sports or for the academics?

LOL Think about it, it depends on how old you are though, you have to be young to understand this one.
 
i've seen this on a report on tv, they said black people supposely have bigger muscles in their calfs that allows them to be more explosive than any other races.
then i've heard other people saying that asian people while not having the biggest muscles but they do have fast reacting twitch muscles( or something like that) that allows them to to have good accuracy

yeah that explains why 80 percent of people in the nba are black, and i have yet to see any black guys play ping pong

and white guys are a mix between the 2 opposite extremes, that explains why there are some white guys in the nba, but they dont dominate the sport.
 


<< i thought about it, still pretty stupid... >>



On the whole, on the whole:

Most black teenagers don't get the same attention in public education as the other races. Since there are less visible successful black professionals in the media and world they see prof sports as the only real chance at sucess. This is true and what I saw in public education. Various groups including the NAACP say this. Those groups sue all the time to get more black TV anchors and such.

I think that white men are pretty physically equal with black men. However on the whole black teens and preteens practice basketball much more often than white teens. This means there is a higher number of excellent black teen players than white teen players.
 
Pedro on the Kings? LOL

I think you mean Peja...as in Predrag Stojakovic. 🙂

There are some good NBA players who are white.

The NHL has some good black players too. In case nobody noticed, the NHL's leading scorer(goals and points both), Jarome Iginla, is black. Anson Carter is good, Mike Grier is good, Georges Laraque is the toughest guy in the league. Both leagues are starting to get good players of all colors.
 
Where are all the white basketball players?

I think they're all playing at Gonzaga. Gonzaga's like the Sacramento Kings of the college ranks.
