What difference does it make what race an American player is? I can understand some nationalistic pride, but you guys are bizarrely obsessed with White and Black: it's depressing.

because black people are better at NBA basketball, so it matters in terms of projecting his future career.

LOL at you. i have never once heard a latino been referred to as black in my life . idk about where you live but when i went through middle and high school everybody was either mexican/latino asian black or white

Maybe you mean fair skinned latino person. Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and people from Brazil are labeled as black all the time.

I've heard Dominicans and Brazilians labeled that, but I grew up with plenty of Puerto Ricans (it's also the only race I've dated) and I've never once heard someone refer to them as black

It isn't that there aren't great American white ballers, look at the college game. The NBA is just a different animal, like it or not, it's an athleticism driven league and we whiteys don't possess it. Consider the ratio (which I have no idea what it is) of guys who are given shots because they're freak athletes but aren't really basketball players, just athletes, compared to fundamental players who don't possess near the same athletic prowess. Dunks and highlights sell, curling off double screens doesn't.

Can of worms opened.

Its not dunks and highlights selling its guys with fundamentals and low athleticism have a hard time getting their shot off in the league....No different from Division I and Division III ball where in DIII there are many good, fundamental players but they usually aren't the tallest, fastest, quickest, strongest and at the dI level wouyld have a difficult time containinging faster players, rebounding with bigger players and again, getting their shots off

"We the black delegation.....select.....Blake Griffin!!!!!! Bytch, we got 'em! Keep waiting for the next Larry Bird whitey!!!!"
