Why is the NBA 80% black?

why is the NBA 80% black?

...

Unlike baseball or hockey, basketball has traditionally been the urban sport of the city centre denizens par excellence, while baseball and ice hockey have been more 'suburban'. Guess where do most African Americans live.

>Guess where do most African Americans live.

In jail?

Height

they're 80% diverse!

suburbia?

because white american athletes are pathetic

kys basketball isn't the only sport

It's because they play ball every time they get the chance. There was this black kid in america that was wearing basketball shorts under his jeans because he said "better safe than sorry, don't know when you can ball"

did you meet sheed

Because it's a stupid sport where you can blame the refs about everything.

Because it's one of the most physically demanding sports and american blacks were literally bred to be the strongest they could be through 200 years of slavery lol

Same goes for handegg

because they have better genetics for a game revolving around a fast tempo and athleticism, athletes like durant, lebron, ginobili, jordan will always dominate and be above their peers because they're black

Ginobili

Wtf non-european

i still see no particular reason for why the league would be that black

nothing racially inheritable about shot accuracy
blacks also aren't particularly well known for their stamina

the only thing they objectively have an advantage at is jumping.

Basketball is an extremely cheap sport to play. Strictly speaking, all you need to play is a hoop and a ball. Requires much less phyiscal space to play in than, for example, soccer too.

>ginobili
subtle

Football only requires one ball an two or more guys. No need for hoops.

But you need much more room to actually play. Basketball, you can just do one-on-one post moves.

Kek dedication is good thing tho

Well a lot of the High School that are white cannot compete in AAU but I wish the US system was like Europes were kids were being taught the basics at a young age. Reason USA basketball is great because of the pure athleticism.

White kids do not get taught the skill. For example Big Men should be able to pass, set screens, hit the three point shot.

Small players should be able to post up, rebound, and set picks. NBA is becoming more like European style of basketball with more athleticism.

>mfw this entire fucking thread

so this is what it must be like when Americans ask questions about soccer?

> blacks also aren't particularly well known for their stamina

You've never looked at the winners of marathons or long distance running in the olympics ?

Absolutely wrong. Football can actually be played anywhere on any surface, even in the streets. Basketball players will always need a court.

...

Lmao, idiot.

Don't even try to act like you know shit about basketball.
It was "traditionally" a white sport with people from the city and suburbs. Around the 60's/70's it became very popular with African Americans with many Black players becoming stars and prominent players for many teams, Dr. J, George Gervin, etc. guys like Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell (A famous civil rights activist as well later in life) being among the first superstars, making it very popular with the black community along with countless other events around America, including cultural movements, and the building of basketball courts in inter-cities, making an explosion of young black people devoting their lives to playing basketball and suddenly making up large portions of the talent pool for the NBA/ABA as it also fell in popularity by Whites who no longer found professional sports as a whole to be a respectable pursuit and was only seen as something done to build character in school and prepare kids for "real" jobs.

Nice meme.

>why is the NBA 80% black?

Because they're the best at running, stealing and shooting.

those are east africans
and that's just one tribe that evolved on high altitudes

Why is american music, actors, sportsman and president majority black?

Because america is a nigger country

>tfw too short to ever make it big
>you were born in a football diseased country anyway
