Wrong. Lebron is a throwback type player. He is physical enough to have competed throughout the decades. Not too sure guys other current finesse could have handled the rigors of the NBA in the past.

does Larry know how the NBA players get rich?

clue, it's not because of African Americans, and I'm not mocking any demographic other than Larry Johnson

there's a reason he played for Tark at UNLV, and it's not because he's smart

I would be completely in favor with an all black league and an all white league. I know which brand of basketball is better. Blacks can only go to black games and whites can only go to white games. Black owned companies will be sponsors of the black league and white owned companies will be the sponsors of the all white league.

Let's see which ones folds up shop first.

The Mexicans, Jews, and Blake Griffin can choose their league. If you are from a Scandidavian country, you are in the white league.

LJ certainly missed it, it is ALREADY an all black league..

NBA = Nigerian Basketball Aasoc ( Beantown Jim )

look ok at that little monkey run ( Howard Cosell )

the slave owner took his biggest black guy and bred him ( Jimmy the Greek )

If your daughter brought home a black guy,etc ( Jeem again )

when everyone one stops supporting these clowns, buying tickets,etc, it will stop...

so so please ban hip- hop in your homes also, do not buy their products and they will go away...

no hip-hop in my house or car, and no Kardashians either...

I have not purchased an NBA ticket in 15 years.

They are all coin flip baby's.

The majority of blacks in the NBA, if they are not playing basketball, they would be in prison, selling drugs ( some of them both), living off the taxpayer, and the best of the best would be working a 20K a year job.

Nobody remembers this from 1999 NBA Finals?

JOHNSON, KNICKS CIRCLE WAGONS: GRUMPY LARRY STIRS THE POT
By George Willis
June 23, 1999 | 4:00am


It was hard to know just what Larry Johnson was thinking yesterday when he summed up the Knicks’ ability to constantly overcome adversity by saying, “We’ve got a lot of rebellious slaves on this team.”


It was easily one of the more bizarre characterizations of this Knick team thus far, and instantly raised a few eyebrows among the group of reporters who had cornered Johnson in the Garden before the Knick practiced yesterday.


Gritty, determined, surprising. Those are all buzzwords that have been used to described their rise to the NBA Finals against the Spurs.


Rebellious slaves? That was a new one.


When asked to elaborate, Johnson mumbled to the questioner: “I’ve got to explain that to you?” Then he proceeded to explain. “We don’t have a lot of mainstream,” he said of the Knicks. “We don’t go with the mainstream. We’re in a different stream on this team. We’ve got a lot of rebellious slaves. We don’t go along with the masses.”


This might have been passed off as Larry-speak had he not used the S-word. At times, the S-word can stir as much emotion as the N-word, especially in a professional sports league where the employees are 80 percent black and the owners are 100 percent white. The pay scale is lucrative but the dichotomy is the same.


Still, I doubt Johnson was making a social or economic statement. His choice of words is certainly regrettable. Millionaire basketball players aren’t slaves, rebellious or otherwise. They have what’s known as a collective-bargaining agreement. If black athletes ever pooled their finances and other resources, black players would soon be black owners.

Would be hard to find enough qualified black coaches to coach in this league. Sure as hell couldn't find that many black trainers. The black guy that used to PA the Pistons games would be in high demand.
