Yay racism! In all it's forms! One side's racism is better than another's!
Harlem, you are a bringer together of souls.
Good on you.
Consumed with the obsession of trolling
Hope we dont ever see whote people in sports again. Its a travesty.
don't see any problems tbh. best players are black and best coaches are white. makes sense
Stopped reading after "Writer and co-author of Slugg: A Boy's Life in the Day of Mass Incarceration"
That article says Bird was a mother ing bad ass who was post racial. Bird s on OP from his retirement home.
The premise of the article is that white talent is being suppressed by society. It's reverse discrimination, whites get better sports job like quarterback and lacrosse . If whites wanted to take the nba seriously we;d see more talent. Tall white men go into football at nearly 100% for positions like QB, TE, and WR.
in economics its called compe ive analysis.
People in this thread angry without reading was article was about
Racist. Good job, Canadian. Keep the Hope alive.
No. White people today are a travesty, like blacks in the 50's and 60's.
Keep the racism alive.
Maybe a white Jackie Robinson will emerge, but he will be hated upon like blacks back then in this new age of the Digital Anonymous.
And Go Vegan! It's great for athletics!
Only read about half of it, Kevin, but what I did read was pretty interesting.
Why did op post an article that is contradictory of his entire troll repertoire?
Larry bird was a top 10 player for sure maybe top 5
White American players are no longer superstars because of social stigma, which submarines the entire point of 80s being bad basketball because there were so many white American players.
The author of the article made a good point when he stated the reasons Euro's are better than White Americans is because of their mindset and not physical talent. This is the point I have argued for a while when the OP runs his typical shtick of "80's and 90's basketball sucked compared to now because they had more white american players." These 80's and 90's White American ballers had the same mindset as the current Euro ballers and hence were at the same level talent wise.
how many people here are angry?
I hope RC stays the away from Miles Plumlee
Only reason why Americans can't produce good white players is 'cause their fundamentals teaching sucks. Basketball in the US is more about athletics, isos, Jordan; whereas anywhere else is more about skills, tactics and team ball.
American blackmen overcome these ty training habits because they're naturally more athletic. While the whites from anywhere else benefit from the focus on skills and fundamentals.
Is he consumed with the obsession or is he consumed with trolling thus it's an obsession? The former would make him more of a psychiatrist while the latter would make him just a troll.
I don't agree with the primary point in the article, but unlike you and the poster below you, I actually consider other view points
It's an entertaining and interesting article, which is why I posted it..I figured most of you would enjoy it, particularly the Whites and Asians among you..
Realistically speaking, I love White people, but White Americans just aren't good at basketball, tbh..ain't no shame in that, it just isn't their thing..the 80s was the equivalent of throwing a bunch of Arabs and Mexicans in the NBA next season

I barely mustered the will to click the link, but I cannot bring myself to care.
The more I watch Larry Bird on YouTube, the less impressed I am, tbh..I'm not into conspiracy theories, I usually find them very silly, but I think there's some dirt in the 80s, re: brothers being forced to go easy on Bird..the league had hit rock bottom, ratings were horrible, etc, and then all of a sudden this physically limited White boy starts dominating the NBA
I think there actually is the beginning of white anti privilege. You see it in colleges where whites are considered unable to match other cultures in grievances. Elite white men are as loaded as ever, but the average whites are more subordinate to other races, they are no longer guaranteed privilege.. Thus you see frustration of young white men with the new order.
Men these days no longer have guaruntees of sex, upward mobility, or jobs. And that sucks for them.
It's all kinds of sad.
