IMO, you have to consider:
The NBA is littered with European basketball player yet few white American basketball players. What I think the problem with the NBA and basketball in High School and College is that these players have more focused on pure athletic ability rather than skill-set. In Europe, basketball is more focused on developing a players skill-set rather than in America, where players are more focused on dunking, trick shots, fancy passes, etc..
Is it a coincidence that all of the white players (like 5) in the NBA can shoot 3-pointers?
Basketball imo is more attractive for young athletes that want to showcase their pure athletic ability whereas a sport like MLB showcases your skillset.
LOL, what? Black basketball players don't have any skillsets? Lebron doesn't have any skillsets? Chris Paul doesn't have any skillsets? Is that what you're saying? How very racist of you.

Is your obsession with race and your off the wall question concerning white guys in the NBA a coincidence?
LOL! Not bloody likely.

It does seem there are less and less white Americans. I’d like to know with [Kirk] Hinrich and Steve Blake out this year, how many white guards are there this year in the NBA? Are there even five? If you’re 6-feet-10 inches, can walk, are skilled and can chew gum and all that, defend the rim, you’ll have a job. It doesn’t matter what your skin color is. You’ll have a job.
The NBA is a collection of some of the most athletic guys in the world. And white guys just aren’t that athletic.

Of course not. The intention of this thread is very obvious.

"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.
So you have no problem with me saying white players simply lack athletic ability but get defensive when I say basketball is more of a showcase on athletic ability?
Black people don't have skillsets?
"Fancy passes"? What's next, basketball is for "showy" people? Wait, you did claim that, didn't you.
Racism couched in a "sports analysis", cute.
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.
I demand better bait.

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.
And no, NASCAR is not a sport...

So.... How many Olympic gold medals have the Europeans won in basketball?
