Why have white American men disappered from the NBA?

[Swagnificent]

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

True. But these anatomical differences are in the margins. They don't make someone an NBA player per se. They only make you better than the next guy who might not have those gifts. Remember our argument here isn't about who is the best in the NBA. Its about why there aren't many white Americans in the NBA at all.

The biggest physical attribute that makes someone an NBA player is HEIGHT. Last I checked, the average white American male is not much shorter than the average black American male. Think of all the tall black dudes in the NBA. There are many more tall white dudes out there. Why don't more of these tall cacs have the skill level to become the next Steph Curry or Kyrie Irving? Ryan Anderson isn't special. He just worked harder than the other cacs his size and become a dead eye shooter and got millions in the NBA. There could be a lot more Ryan Anderson's. Or Steve Nash's. Or Dirk Norwitki's.

Race is not a factor to making it in the NBA. Height (of all the physical attributes) is the most important factor. Followed by wingspan (as you noted).

"Sound cloud" rap is hit or miss. U either love it or hate it. I absolutely love it

I don’t like all his shyt but he really fine tuned his sound with Come Over. That was probably my most played tape since he died. It’s just something that emotionally gets me going

Because they can't beat black people at any level so they either ride the bench of play for underachieving teams. Over in Europe there's not as many black(diaspora/Israelite) athletes to compete with, allowing more game time and career development for cacs.

There are white stars over there so they can JUSTIFY drafting them as #1 picks over some of our better black players. And that keeps some of the big checks going back into white pockets

They can't pretend the cacs in America are NBA worthy because they get exposed in MS,HS & college

Want to know the only team to beat LeBron in the states in Ohio

I’m sure plenty of people have stories about losing to the white schools in high school. My school was one of the best in our region put a couple people in D-1 schools and lost to a white school. It’s in college where they start to lose not high school.

yes.

length helps for sure, but it is just a gravy. blake griffin got a trex arm but he is an elite athlete - at least he used to be. and he is only half black.
gordon hayward is a good player and there should be alot more gordon hayward type in the nba. good size, good enough athleticism, smart, and hard working


my theory is that maybe maybe many cacs get discouraged early on cuz they see how we dominate the scene in any level. and they have more choices in sports(generally speaking we don't do tennis, swimming, baseball, lacrosse and etc), so their talent spreads out. it's obvious to me most of them kinda give up from day 1 cuz they watch nba and it's mostly blacks.

every damn nikkas i know is all about basketball or football. just 2 sports. some baseball, but i haven't seen many brehs play baseball

 

[waltthizzney]

nico mannion is nice tho

Mac McClung got next

Julian Newman was playing with a crew of we got next white boys

Spoiler

This is exactly true. The white Americans are self-segregating themselves out of the sport. And then they are using race and genetics as an excuse for their fear of trying to be as good as us but then failing.

south korean won 1992 olympic gold in marathon
Hwang Young-cho - Wikipedia

And a completely different Korean won the 1996 Olympic Silver

Lee Bong-ju - Wikipedia

The marathon is actually a great equalizer - it's not just about athletic skill, but strategy and pure willpower matter a ton too, so you see greats from a lot of different backgrounds.

Just now in the 2016 Olympics, the bronze medal was won by a pasty White American....meaning he beat every other East African in the world except two.

Just since 1992 (the last 7 Olympics), Olympic medals in the marathon have not just been won by Kenyans and Ethiopians, but also a Djiboutian, Ugandan, Moroccan, Black South African, White American, Brazilian, Japanese, Korean, Irish, German, and Italian.

Cac parents dislike the sport (too ghetto, too hood) so they sent their kids away from it.

Oh well, more money for the brothers.

Where the hell is that true?

Breh, everywhere I've ever been the White kids LOVE basketball. Basketball is the 2nd-biggest White sport in America behind football. No one steering their White kids away from basketball, they're filling up the ranks all the way up to college, they just ain't good enough to take it to the next level.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

all the players in the league with IC on the end of their name are there by default since Balklan people are the tallest in the world. Basketball is not a top 3 sport in any major European country.

Where do you get that idea? Basketball is one of the most popular sports in Spain, Italy, Greece, Lithuania, Latvia, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Turkey, and Russia. I think it's really popular in a lot of the other Eastern European countries too.

Also pretty popular in France and Germany even if it isn't top-ten there. Maybe top 4 or 5.

Only places in Europe that basketball isn't big is England and Scandinavia.

I got them all downloaded but I only went far back as hellboy and I think feelz. But I mean that’s his mainstream sound, I recognize that. It’s just easily accessible

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:

This is a myth. People have it backwards especially when it comes to the Chinese. Majority of Chinese and other Asians are spending their time and effort on their youth to become educated and business people. It is the Americans, Jamaicans, Kenyans and others who spend their time and effort on their youth becoming athletic stars. It’s cutthroat financial and status-wise in Asia, people don’t have the time for sports but this is slowly changing.

More Asian people have run under 10 seconds than white people. This genetic talk is rubbish. There was a time when Chinese man had the world record for 110m hurdle, fastest 100 youth at one stage was Japanese, in the 4x100 relay the Japanese came second and so on.

America, Jamaica, and Kenya do so well in track and field as it’s an escape from poverty, more % of the population are interested in sport and see themselves becoming professional and they HEAVY dopers as well(LOL).

Keep believing in race and genetics, things are slowly changing, wouldn’t be surprised Asian sprinters finishes in the top 3 in 2020 Olympics.

Fear. Nothing more, nothing less. Nik Stauskas told everyone this when he was drafted (and he's Canadian by way of Lithuania). Stauskas would have had a better mindset coming from Lithuania because at least over there you have a whole nation rooting you on.

Basketball is one of the least politically driven sports you can play. If you are cold, you will be out there. All you have to do is give folks the business and you will see the floor. No artificial heads up because your dad is your coach (Austin Rivers not withstanding).

However, someone mentioned length and at the pro level it absolutely matters. If Donovan Mitchell had Doug McDermott length, he wouldn't be as good. The wingspans on the athletes is growing, not so much for white Americans, who tend to have negative wingspan to height ratios.

You've not been to the south then. White kids here don't like or care for basketball. Its football and nothing else. Saying its 2nd doesn't do it justice. Its so far off their thought. And they have huge resentment for the fact the NBA is mostly black.
