What happened to the white players in the NBA?

Any one who watches basketball is watching an inferior sport anyway. You want skillsets, you got to look to hockey. All other sports are inferior.

Boy, did you walk in a puddle of mud.

Did you seriously use the word 'inferior' in describing basketball and said hockey, a sport with a lack of minorities as superior?

It is funny, people are taking my post as an offense as blacks not having any skillset rather than an attack against whites lacking athletic ability.

The very title of your thread is talking about what happened to all the "white" players, yet you are wondering why people take offense at your post?

He called all other sports inferior. I may not agree with him, but you are going to need a better skillset if this is how you plan to debate with Redress.

IMO hockey is a regional sport that is barely even qualified to be called a sport.

And BTW, NASCAR is more of a sport than Hockey.

Not NASCAR, but this back when motorsport had balls.

241 MPH average, when drivers could easily die, and no driver assists. This cars sound alone will make your ears have an orgasm, and add hair to your ass.

There are a fair number of minority hockey players, including black, asian, and hispanic. Know what a minority hockey player is called? A hockey player.

Do you enjoy showing off how ignorant your opinions are?

Notice:

Nobody in this thread has given a reason/theory for why the NBA has so few white players in the league.

I asked a question, nobody has even attempted to answer the question.

Jimmy that you?

"The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way, because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs and he's bred to be the better athlete because this goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trade...the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid."

30 black nhl players which is pathetic.

Why is it pathetic? No one else cares what color a hockey player is, why do you?
 
Bucky said:
Is it a coincidence that all of the white players (like 5) in the NBA can shoot 3-pointers?

Almost all NBA players shoot 3 pointers today. Even more than half the starting centers in the league have taken at least 100 3s this season. It's how the game works now.

Incorrect.

Half the league can't shoot a lick. DeAndre Jordan, Ben Simmons, Rajon Rondo, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Dwight Howard, etc... can't shoot, and these are some of the marquee players in the game.... Imagine if I start naming bench players.

And don't get me started on free throws. You have starters in this league that are shooting under 40%.

"Fancy passes" What is a "Fancy Pass"? I mean, we still have the law of physics to obey when considering how a basketball gets from player A to player B.

Or did you mean Fancy Pants? Yes, I think that is what he meant. Fancy Pants.

Oh, stop it. You don't remember the time when LeBron James passed behind his back into the singularity of a black hole, and the ball warped the space-time continuum to end up in Dwyane Wade's hands for a wide-open 3-pointer? Racist.

Well, shockingly enough, you're wrong here too. The number of "starters" shooting under 40% this season is one -- Andre Roberson of OKC.

A professional basketball playing getting paid millions should on average hit 7/10 of free throws. Do you not disagree?

It's not incorrect. I did say almost all. The fact you can name some that don't isn't really disputing that. There are 188 players averaging over 3 three point attempts per game. More than 6 per team.

79% of all 161 players averaging 25 or more minutes a game shoot multiple 3s a game. And there are more players right below the cutoff than at the bottom. Guys like Pau Gasol, Anthony Davis, and Jeff Green all shoot reputable percentages, but only average 1.9 attempts a game.

LOL! the few names I named are actually marquee players in the league.

I want you to define what a reputable percentage is. A reputable percentage imo is .375.

More than 80% of all players averaging 20+ minutes a game do.

90% hit at least 65%.

And Brook Lopez shoots 79% for his career.

Exactly. You named a handful of players out of the 150ish starters in the league. The vast majority of players shoot 3s. The vast majority of marquee players in the league shoot 3s. And I was considering about .350, which all 3 players I mentioned hit.

Hockey apparently even takes skill to watch. Two of my ex gf's who liked sports could not follow the game. One even said she could not follow the puck. :doh

I got to be honest. I like watching hockey but I have problem following the puck on TV.
