Top (10) Ten Reasons why white Americans don't make it do the NBA

Top (10) Ten Reasons why white Americans don't make it do the NBA
                         

10. Athleticism- Let's admit it, black players are more athletic than whites, I'm not saying there are no athletic white players out there, there are. Unfortunately a 6'4 black player can jump higher than a 6'4 white player, that's usually the case (not all the time though, but since black people have more explosive muscles by default there just more athletic) a black player can make a windmill dunk, while a white player can only make a dunk. Vertical leap aside, its what they can do while they are up there that counts, a typical black player can change his shot in the air while at ease a white player would  have a harder time. Who won the last NBA dunking contest?.... When was the last time a white American player won a slam dunk competition in the NBA... 1997 Brent Barry free throw dunk, and that was more than a decade ago.

9. Defensive capabilities- In the last 10 years in NBA history, only Kurk Heinrich was able to enter NBA defensive team, the last one to do this was in the 70's and that was Jerry West. It's said that's why the zone is used in the NBA, so white guys can keep up, but that's just a hearsay there is no actual data that says so.

8. Overall basics-  Ever why more white European players make it to the NBA? Manu Ginobli, Rudy Fernandez, Pau Gasol... what do they all have in common other than being white? It's that they have a better grasp of basic basketball. Have you seen FIBA Europe..? Although they may not want to dunk every position but they definitely pass the ball around much better, you can observe that a Argentina passes the ball around, sometimes the player don't have to dribble the basketball. And that is an example of basketball 101, PASS THE BALL AROUND, when they are on fastbreaks what do European basketball team do? They do a layup rather than a dunk..this understanding of overall basic basketball gives them an edge to white American who pattern their game to black people, which they find it hard to replicate since there not that athletic.

7. Physicality- Imagine these guys in the picture if they went up against Wilt Chamberlain or Shaq,..Give me one white American player, who can bang bodies inside the basket in this era? Alright so you have Brad Miller, Kevin Love...and who else?? that's right  only two, and Brad is going to retire in a couple of seasons. There are a lot of white American bigman players in college but where do they go after, not the NBA that's for sure. They go overseas to play basketball. Like Nick Fazekas, no disrespect to the man but I think that's one of the reasons he got cut, he's not strong enough, tough enough, rough enough to play head on in the NBA.

6. Speed/Quickens- Black people have more fast twitch muscles in them that makes them more explosive than any other race in the world, in layman's term their just much quicker than the rest of the rest. Alright want me to prove it to you? Who's the fastest runner in the world? Usan Bolt a black guy, who's the fastest guy in the NBA to finish  fast breaks? Direk Rose.. when was the last time a white American became the fastest man alive, and when was the last time a white American lead the NBA fastbreak points? You get my point...

4. Overwhelming black talent- I think this statement can stand alone.

3. Limited offense- Sorry mate, but Danny Granger and Lebron James can do anything they can shoot the 3, slash to the basket, dunk the basketball in traffic, play in the post...etc..they are a complete player. Now let's take a loot at the white American player...he can shoot the three,..and , and,...oh that's right he can shoot the three ball that's the white man's specialty. Mike Miller, Kyle Korver and others, they have very good range but sorry that's about it. Not all white player of course there are exemptions like Jason Kid but that's pretty much it.

2.Stereotyping- If you're in a pick up game and there are two 6'4 guys who weighs just about the same,same age, one is African American and one is white American. Who would you choose? putting racism aside and you wanna win.... I think we all know the answer. Same goes in pro basketball, white players are not given the real credit they deserve just because they are white.

1. Culture- Hahaha..this is the greatest factor, go to your local basketball court and you'll a lot of black dudes dunking and playing basketball, they play basketball everyday for long periods of time and when they're tired they play some more. And let's face it, a the majority of African Americans in the NBA came from a poor background and basketball was there way to college,..hence to a better life, that's why they played and struggled so hard to make it, not just that basketball is a cheap sport, all you need is some shoe's a basketball and there you go, unlike swimming. This difference can attest why there are so many African Americans in the NBA. =)
