7 minutes into the 2nd quarter

[RenoChazz]

its simple reno. you put a fast ass athletic black guy whos 6 foot 6 against a guy like steve nash and he scores everytime. so the nba slowly loaded up on this guys. which lead to other teams having no choice but to draft the same way. now the 6 foot 6 guys are going against each other and they have no moves and suck because they dont have a steve nash covering them.

I don't watch a lot of NBA, but I get the Warriors games in Reno, and they seem to have some guys with some moves.

grouping blacks in the nba as a group of guys who are athletic as hell and suck at the actual game of basketball is not racism. you my friend are a dope

Dude is probably just tilted. Doubt he was really trying to make a judgement about a sport when 1 of the teams playing is intentionally trying to lose and playing guys who aren't pro caliber.

im not tilting nor am i being "racist". its starts at AAU. today was just a small reminder of it. be bigger and faster and then get to the NBA and be a bust. as opposed to learning the game and the proper techniques that go with it. Darius miles was paid millions and didnt have an ounce of basketball skill

Top 3 Dumbest Quote in Forum history.

Bullshit. You haven't considered enough to grasp what he is truly saying. The only "Racism" component to what he's saying is that NBA teams overwhelmingly draft black players because they are black and can jump

but many of them are simply not basketball players.

...while actual white bball players go undrafted end up working at sears cuz they are not black

and the 2nd quarter ends 8-7. maybe they should draft more athletic black dudes with high ceilings

and the 2nd quarter ends 8-7.

So you think there is an inefficiency in the draft process because it skews too far towards upside rather than sure commodities? I would actually disagree and say it goes the other way if anything.

See the Celts taking Kelly Olynyk over the Greek Freak for an example

Doug McDermott went lottery last year.

doug mcdermott could be a great player but hes out there against the others teams bench which consists of super fast athletic guys who cant really do anything other than be long and annoying

 

[NBAcapper08]

players like mcdermott dont actuallty get the chance to adjust to the speed of these said players.

Yeah you generally need to be an elite athlete to play at the highest level of a major sport that features athleticism.

Plenty of guys combine that with skill and are good players.

It is much more of a meritocracy than you think. Sports is probably the greatest meritocracy we have.

If he is good enough to be a rotation player in the NBA then it'll likely happen.

This is actual a phenomenal conversation that should be had

by the earth as a whole but never will cuz to have this discussion would be "racist"

exactly the same as UK people let Pakistanis rape 1442 UK teen girls from 2007 till now

cuz they felt like to go arrest them would be "racist"

OP has a point. NBA is seriously flawed. There is a Racial component to why it is flawed.

Folks attack him as "racist" just cuz he presents a valid point

Sorry to be confusing.

So you think the NBA should implement an affirmative action policy, so talented whites that are lacking height can compete? Fuck that, I'm a free market darwinist; and in survival of the fittest, it's all about winning.

its all about winning yet the same 5 franchises have won for the last 30 years.

michael carter williams is a perfect example of someone who sucks but yet the bucks are trading to acquire him? what are these guys looking at? oh yeah a long athletic black dude

 

[PatsFan1283]

If there is a big inefficiency in terms of drafting/team building, it'll get exploited soon enough. Wouldn't worry about that.

5 MCWs but stay on the court all day at the local park but this is the nba where u actually have to understand the GAME of basketball and be able to execute
