There is something to be said about the current system prioritizing these expensive leagues and travel teams and they in some ways do marginalize talent from the poorest areas.

If you’re not a part of a known program or academy it seems less likely you’re going to get a serious look and consideration from coaches and scouts.

It’s kind of messed up.

:manny: To be honest I was happy seeing the black couples and their black kids winning. The undefeated years ago did a piece that a majority of D-1 athletes come from college educated parents
Nah that’s cool and all its just literally this was one of the things that kept kids in “the trenches” focused instead of in the streets .. shyt gonna trickle down ..

I know we need more lawyers and doctors and all that so save that before somebody quote me saying that

Why does suburbs automatically mean white to some of y’all?

There are tons of majority black suburbs in America. And why do some black folks equate to not struggling mean you aren’t really black.

These days suburbs could be more of a “trench” than big cities with gentrification.

It was to be expected honestly.. I mean NBA is the best of the best of the best. There's been what, 4,000 players in its history? The margins are so slim, that the x-factor was always going to be money. Best trainers, best diets, best schools from a young age. Kids in the hoods don't have that luxury, and end up falling a step behind.
