In order to get better at a skill you have to practice it. Try playing a pickup game with a bunch of blacks and see how often you get to touch the ball if you're a white guy. They are either are unwilling or incapable of passing to a white guy even if the white player is one of the best players on the floor. They'd rather sling up bad shots and get beat than pass to a white. Why would white kids want to be verbally and sometimes physically abused to watch the brothers carry the ball and take wild shots? The only time the white guy gets the ball and a shot opportunity is on an offensive rebound. Even then you'll have some idiot yelling "gimme the ball, gimme the ball" at you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1312728903467688972012-07-23T06:17:49.398-07:002012-07-23T06:17:49.398-07:00It's simple:

Asian-American star athletes are almost non-existent in the media, so when one appears, it is much more man-bites-dog than when a white athlete appears. Who's the most famous 100% Asian-American athlete in any sport? Apollo Ohno, Hines Ward, Tiger Woods are all half-Asian. Yao-ming and Ichiro are foreign-born. I'd say perhaps Michael Chang, but men's tennis is not the most watched sport in America and his lone Grand Slam title was 23 years ago. <br />There may not be any American-born basketball players who are popular but there are hundreds of white American baseball and football players (not to mention Nascar, golf, tennis, college basketball, college football, MMA, etc) to root for. <br />Add to that the Harvard connection and you have a real story.Antioco Dascalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617669156986603638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-25208010207465779122012-07-20T16:06:01.660-07:002012-07-20T16:06:01.660-07:00BYU is successful because of the passing game and ...<i>BYU is successful because of the passing game and quite a few gigantic Samoans.</i><br /><br />Are you sure those Samoans weren't fat Finns with heavy suntans?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-87798378502008544272012-07-20T12:13:56.847-07:002012-07-20T12:13:56.847-07:00Bird .. was Freakishly tall (6'9)
