I just came from ESPN.com and saw this on the front and immediatley thought someone on the coli was gonna post this with a "Plehground basketball is dying brehs" title 
Im reading it now but a couple of things I thought of when seeing this
1) if ESPN wants to create a belief through a story narrative they will. I often wonder if Boxing and Hockey are in as bad of a state that ESPN says they are simply they have chosen not to fukk with them anymore and have driven that point on all their talking head shows
2) If playground basketball IS dying, it may simply be a product of AAU and indoor summer leagues being more lucrative and a priority or players looking at other options when it comes to basketball. And on a non pro level it may just be kids not going out and about as others have said.

The world is much safer now than 20 or 30 years ago.. The problem is our access to information which fuels the paranoia...2014 is actually way safer than 1994, everywhere in america
you think chiraq and detroit are bad now
Ignorance was bliss back in the day...

I don't agree with it either but do you feel this way because of that only are or you being sensitive and thinking its a stereotype about blacks? Be honest cause I don't think its neg worthy its just silly and sound like something an older person would say about the younger generation.

Remember growing up in the 90s when calling someone an "indoor basketball player" was considered a diss?

The most ridiculously overused sterotypes right now are
everyone just wants to rap
everyone wants to be a hustler
glorifying prison culture
as reasons for failure
first of all THOSE THINGS JUST AREN'T TRUE. its disgusting to see it applied here especially..we're talking about PICK UP BASKETBALL as if...thats something that "wanting to be a rapper or hustler" would distract from
. OR EVEN something we should CARE about our kids doing.just an awful post all together.

I still hoop 3-4 times a week but it's at my 24 hr fitness gym. Most nikkas I know hoop indoors, especially in the Texas summer. But even in the Winter the outdoor courts are empty. Sad, kids these days are getting mind fukked by the internet/technology at their disposal.
