Recently, ESPN's "Outside the Lines" ran a segment about the declining number of white American players in the NBA. Apparently the league is currently 71.8 percent African-American, 18.3 percent international and 9.9 percent white American and there's a problem. To underscore the "whiteout" of the NBA, "Outside the Lines" chose to follow the trials and tribulations of Kyle McAlarney, a former standout point guard from Notre Dame whose dream is to play in the NBA. According to McAlarney, his race is keeping him out of the league.

anyone ever seen daniel tosh's standup? he did a bit about this saying the NBA should just let white player's baskets count an extra point b/c it wouldn't affect the outcome of the game and it would make the white players feel like they were contributing. :)

Daniel Tosh is ****ing hilarious. Love Tosh.0 :)

As for the article, why do we need to assist white players in making it to the NBA? That makes no sense at all. If a player, no matter what skin color, isn't good enough to play in the NBA, they're just not good enough. Each coach has their style of play and wants a certain type of player, if you don't fit into the mold, unfortunately, that's just too bad. McAlarney, your race is not keeping you out the league at all. You're 5'11 in a league that's moving towards taller guards. The only small guards who make it in the NBA, are freakish athletes. That's why you can't make it in the NBA.

This is coming from a white person. This article is just ridiculous imo. Sounds like race baiting to me :err:
 
:lol:
This is a great idea. It's always been my dream to make millions playing in the NBA.

*sniff*
Sadly, I have a disability ... I'm short, fat, can't jump or run very fast, and my shot selection has been described as suspect.

Perhaps this is my ticket ... Play the whole "white" angle. Who knew? :lol:

Take your post and change "White player" to "black coach" and NBA to NFL and you would be considered racist.
 
What does Rixon think of all of this? Thats whats important.
 
My player (white, like me) I created in NBA 2K9 has been league MVP 4 times and has won 6 titles. Take that racist real NBA! :d-day:

Steve Nash has won 2 leauge MVP's
there are enough White players in the league. that boy from Notre Dame seems to be crying wolf.
 
The NBA is steadily going downhill every year.....nothing but dunking....players have forgetten the fundamentals of shooting, playing defense, rebounding, passing. I kind of lost interest in it by the late 1980's. Paul Pierce may have been right in saying they should raise the rims.....also maybe they could call traveling if a player takes three steps, or if a player palms the basketball on the dribble. They used to enforce this stuff but not anymore.
