Why have white American men disappered from the NBA?

[#1 pick]

It takes more than athleticism to be a good NBA player, and their have been plenty of athletic white players.

Chase Budinger was athletic as fukk and he was whiter than Richie Cunningham. I remember watching him in the McDonald’s All-American game and he was the best player on the floor. I thought he was gonna be a superstar in the NBA and he turned out to be a nothing journeyman.

Joe Alexander was another super athletic white boy who was a complete bust in the NBA. The Bucks drafted him with the #8 pick in 2008 and he was out of the league within 2 years.

Donte DiVencenzo had the highest vertical this year’s combine (both standing and max). And then there’s that Mac MacClung dude. There are enough athletic white American players to produce some superstars. Maybe they just aren’t into basketball like that?

Most lack the coordination to be honest. Even their women have far more coordination than their men. Chase could jump but he wasn't coordination in the air. When they are coordinated in the air, they tend to have shyt IQ. It's rare you see ones that are as gifted as someone Black.

Black players learned how to shoot 3's. That's all. (Eric Gordon, Steph, Klay, Kyrie, Booker, etc) The days of the one dimensional spot up shooter are over. Steve Kerr already said he wouldn't make it in the league today and he's telling the truth. White players(mostly perimeter players) are gonna have to change their game to get in the league and stay. it's not about being athletic. But moving without the ball, playing defense and learning how to shoot. I remember when Dan Majerle went to Miami. He wasn't a 3 point bomber anymore but a good defender. JJ reddikk studied how to move without the ball and made 23 million this off season because of it.

Maybe that’s why they got so much stock into Mac McLung

Peep: "im gay, an addict & have depression.."

his fans: this is so deep & artistic...

I think Peep gets a lot of credit for living the extremities of life in real time where his contemporaries just rapped about it. At least that’s what I gather. I just really liked cloud rap tho, and he’s one of the guys who put that on

has nothing to do with it.....white americans are still all over high school and college basketball. The reason their aren't as many in the nba anymore is because scouts/teams place athleticism much higher on the chart so when you go from highschool->college and make the jump to nba, the peak athleticism is more pronounced and their no longer is room for big white stiffs like in yeara past. White international players do better because they have higher skill levels to combat athleticism + they were trained in a way that breaks away from the trad american nba standards for what's looked at skill wise at each position.

No surprise to me that most of the Bron stans on this site are white. You sir exposed your cacness with this silly post.

You cacs keep trying to make this about athleticism when that has little to do with being great in NBA right now. James Harden is barely 6'5" and has very limited athleticism and he's about to be named MVP. Steph Curry has little to no athleticism and is barely 6'3" and he's a 2-time MVP. Kyrie Irving is 6'2" with limited athleticism as well and has been a perennial all-star. I could keep going and those are just a small sample of the very best players in this league. James Harden, Steph Curry, and Kyrie Irving are as good as they've become because of their superior SKILL LEVEL. A skill level that honed with countless hours of practice as kids.

To try and say the main reason black Americans are successful in the NBA is because of athleticism is a lie and not supported by any evidence. We've all been to the playground and seen guys who are much better athletes than Harden, Curry, and Kyrie but those guys will never make it to the NBA. Stop trying to excuse crakkkas cause they lack the work ethic and determination to hone their skills like most NBA players have done. Even LeBron isn't as good as he is simply because he's athletic. He's arguably the smartest player in NBA history with a savant like memory and the most gifted passer of his generation. Even if LeBron was glued to the floor and could barely run, he would still be an All-Star because of his intelligence and skill level.

The reason white Americans sukk at basketball is because they are mentally weak and lack the work ethic and determination black people have.

I thought Budinger was gonna be what Kawhi is now

You're misunderstanding me. I didn't say it's just about genetics. I said at an elite level, race is absolutely a limiting factor. No matter how hard the Chinaman trains in long distance running for example, he will never beat the Kalenjin. Other races can try and adapt themselves by training hard, but there is a limit to what training can do. That difference is what makes the elite.

If you think that a Chinese man can give himself the same musle fibers, fat composition, bone proportions/density, RBC count as a Kalenjin long distance runner or Jamaican sprinter by simply training smarter, harder, and more determined (even though the Chinese spend billions on recruiting from age 4-6 and training in Olympic schools, way more than Kenya or Jamaica spends ), this must be the Exercise Science book you're reading:

All the chinese kids I know are worried about studying for math and science exams. Never seen them trying to be athletes. It doesn't matter how much money you spend if the people don't have a passion for it. Distance running is neither part of their culture nor do they have a passion for it.

You do know that most of the long distance runners come from tribes that are nomadic herders. They live far apart from one another so they travel long distances constantly. This is what has fed the passion and hunger for the sport. You don't see the other Kenyans who live next to them that are farmers having this sort of success.

Success in these sports has NOTHING to do with race or genetics. That is a lie spread by white supremacists to try and further their goal to claim intellectual superiority genetically because they currently control the world. By trying to explain the black dominance of athletics as genetics, they want to be able to say that genetics is why they rule the world politically and economically. The success of black people in sports comes solely from our hard work, determination, and intelligence. And since sports is the only real true meritocracy in this world, we've had the most success. If everything else was like sports and a meritocracy, we would dominate it as well.

dumb ass, all those players you mentioned are athletic but they have skills to go with it.

duhh....it's the skill combined with athleticism

The reason white Americans sukk at basketball is because they are mentally weak and lack the work ethic and determination black people have.

It's because they lack the elite athleticism while having lower skill set outside of spot shooting. Euro/international whites have a higher skill level to make up for lack of pure athleticism because they are trained differently

So being able to dunk is a sign of NBA level atheticism? Bruh I don't know how often you've been to a gym but just about every dude who is in shape and 6'2" and above can dunk.

James Harden, Steph Curry, and Kyrie Irving are nothing special athletically. Maybe you don't play much ball, but growing up I saw countless white dudes with their level of athleticism. What makes Harden, Steph, and Kyrie NBA players (let alone elite ones) is their SKILL LEVEL. If Steph wasn't a great shooter, he wouldn't be in the NBA. If Kyrie didn't have his handle or shot, he wouldn't be in the NBA. If James Harden didn't have all those step backs, euro steps, and crazy moves, he wouldn't be in the NBA either. Neither one of those 3 is like Kawhi Leonard for example who would still be an NBA player even if he had limited skills because of his size, length, and athleticism.

If Steph, Kyrie, and Harden can be Hall of Fame caliber NBA players with average athleticism, then there is no excuse for the countless white Americans out there with similar athletic ability.

Lets just put it this way. If there are hundreds of thousands of men with Steph Curry or Kyrie Irving's level of athleticism, and they aren't in the NBA let alone elite players, then how can argue athleticism is dispositive to being an NBA player?

Steph Curry and Kyrie Irving are in the NBA because they worked harder than all those other guys who were born with similar size and athleticism.

Stop trying to excuse away the failures of your race white boys on lack of athleticism. You are not as good as black men in the NBA because you lacked their work ethic, discipline, and intelligence. NOTHING ELSE.

This is the real answer.

All you c00ns up in here talking about athleticism sound like white supremacists when they try to use IQ to explain why black folks are in the state we are in right now. There are lots of white europeans playing at a high level in the NBA. The differences in sports achievement have nothing to do with race or differences in athletic ability. It only has to do with WORK ETHIC.

White people are simply lazy and lack the work ethic to be great NBA players. Black people on the other hand work hard and thus rightfully succeed because of it. Stop falling for the white supremacist agenda trying to make it seem like we have some innate ability to dominate these sports. Its just an excuse they want to use for why they suck. The truth is we are simply work harder than them.

Black people really think LeBron or Kobe are all time greats cause of just natural talent. News flash. There is no natrual sports talent. Physically gifted yes. Talent. fukk no. These nikkas did they 10k hours to become elite. Kobe wanted it more than any white boy to play a sport. That's why he's the black mamba and not a tall nikka Workin at Costco.

Exactly. Its his work ethic and determination that made him all-time great. Nothing to do with god given ability. All that natural talent did was allow him to be in conversation to be one of the best ever. It didn't get him to the NBA. There are hundreds of thousands of other men who never made it to the NBA (white and black) that were just as athletic as Kobe.

To try and say genetics is the reason someone is a great athlete is the most asinine thing ever. Its like saying Jay-Z and Nas are great lyricists because of their genetics. Think about how silly that sounds. And yet we take the same argument when it comes to sports seriously. Greatness in any walk of life comes from determination, work ethic, and genius. It doesn't come from DNA.

exactly.

it's not like curry is super athletic or anything.
one thing that favors our race over the other is our build - we tend to have longer arms and wider wingspan. that helps in basketball there are too many trex armed cacs. that's not gonna fly especially when they already have disadvantage in athleticism
