Tim Legler on being a white player in the NBA | Highly Questionable

Highly Questionable with Dan Le Batard and Bomani Jones airs weekdays at 4:00 PM ET on ESPN2.

[@BoardwalkBillionaire]

What does the question have to do with anything other than Trump supporters to boost their rhetoric that somehow the straight white male is the most endangered species in America? If they asked any non white Hockey player what it’s like to be black in a predominantly white sport, I would think it’s equally stacked for political reasons. Don’t ask why everyone isn’t asking this question, ask why it’s so important to you that this question gets air time?

I well remember when there were very few black players in any of the major sports, and athletic ability wasn't the issue. I remember when haters called the New York Knickerbockers, the Niggerbockers because they had 5 black starters. White men in America have never been locked out of anything simply because they were white. Black men were locked out by tradition (whites only) because white men didn't want the competition.

He Who Greets With Fire while you’re absolutely right on racism in sports for many decades but there is absolutely racial bias in sports-white guards in the NBA-white CBs in the NFL-up until about 10 years ago black QBs in the NFL...black NHL players....black catchers in MLB etc

Rufus Goldstein I’m sure you Amy be speaking about “today” however. As a whole the NBA is less respected than it was I. The 80’s. Why? They’ll tell it’s heart. Love of the game, blah, blah, blah. However I believe it’s more so because of the decline of (white) (American) players in the league. Sure the black players respect anyone that can play but I can’t say that for the other way around. They stand and cheer for white scrubs like Brian Scalabrini, Matthew Delladova ect. But you don’t get that same respect for black scrubs. Just my opinion. Thanks for the exchange. Merry Christmas

[@bennyb44875]

I think it is because they are playing against other white Europeans... White Americans are going through Black Americans...and if we are being honest, think about all the black players that don't get better because they also have to go against and play with Black Americans. AAU teams have 9-11 players. 2-3 of them are usually really good and the other kids are just there to help pay for the team. By the time they get to the high school level most of the "other" kids have either quit, or just haven't got much better because Americans (both white and black) get all their court time in AAU. American coached suck for the most part, there is very few teachers of the game, we are left with guys that are just usinig 2-3 kids to win games.

[@anthonyantmanedwardsisbett8197]

John Jourdan don’t cut yourself with all that edge

[@JCMthebrand]

The biggest problem with the approach to this conversation, is that nobody wants to use empirical evidence. This is a detailed story, painting if you will, and you don't create a complex painting, using broad strokes of paint. You have very obvious details and maybe some obscure ones. There are reasons as to why this is, and we should be able to have some civil discussions around it. The fact that in most cases, on KZbin, it seems.....we can't. Which further's the notion to me, that race is actually a huge question in global society. I just hope that we continue to force dialogue in this manner, we don't just get cultural fatigue and say "race doesn't have anything to do with it, end of story".....that's just not true. The more we continue to ignore race & cultural differences as a factor in this country the more angrier we'll become whenever it's brought up.

[@alecwilliamson2665]

I don't believe you know what you are talking about. Race is a social construct and not represented biologically. The genetic difference between any two individuals in the world are between 1-3%. This is hard for people to cope with and understand because they have been raised in a society that emphasizes "racial differences". The only difference collectively between "racial" groups arise from differences in culture, not biology. We are one of the species with the least amount of genetic diversity in the world. I'm not sure where you are coming from because your comment was rather vague, but if you are trying to say that there are consistent biological similarities between what we in America define as "races", then that is just not true in the slightest. On the other hand, there are definitely cultural differences that impact people who are put in racial categories, but not everyone who is grouped into the same race have the same culture.

[@JCMthebrand]

....first let me preface this with...I think we should take this convo off this reply section and inbox each other. However, the genetic difference between a chimpanzee and a human beings is 1.23%. So when you say the genetic difference between two humans is 1-3%, that's disingenuous when you don't put it in the perspective of over a billion genetic material. There are three primary racial identities accepted by the scientific community, even the mythical places that you say don't acknowledge "racial differences". What place doesn't acknowledge racial differences? It's important to understand the difference between what a country wants to portray and what actually happens in that country. Brazil is a PERFECT example of this. It is true that not everyone in a race is apart of the same culture....in fact we have subcultures that have a variety of components.....environmental, historical, and even social patterns. We won't find a conclusion in just two messages but, i'm a little more read than just someone who has only been exposed to societies that identify "racial differences"

[@alecwilliamson2665]

Sorry, I meant to type .1-.3%. Anyways, what are you trying to prove? I was discrediting the claim, that you may or may not believe in, that races can be identified strictly on a biological basis. Races that we know today are socially constructed and differ from culture to culture. These socially constructed races can not be verified on a genetic basis. That's all I'm saying.

[@JCMthebrand]

Alec Williamson but your basis for making that statement is a percentage of difference on the genetic code. The part that's reaching about that, is that the difference in the genetic code, no matter how small, can lead to some monumental changes in appearances and attributes as seen throughout nature. The scientific community is not all sold on "race" being a purely social construct, but rather a mixture of physical appearance, geographical place, linguistics etc. Biology to some aspect has played a part in the identification of the 3 primary racial distinctions. It's what people use for gene mapping, and finding out where they originated form over 2500 years ago, etc. You're saying that races can't be verified on a genetic basis, i'm saying that has some validity, but genetics is as much apart of an attribute as social constructs.

[@alecwilliamson2665]

I have never heard of these 3 primary racial distinctions before and will continue to doubt that heavily until I have been presented with strong empirical data. The thing is, I am not sold on these small genetic differences between each of us being substantial in any way. Races we know today are socially constructed from very small, insignificant biological differences such as skin color and facial structures. These differences mean nothing until we add meaning to them and assign our prejudices to them. The idea that you can define race tends to be unrealistic as well. Races are poorly defined to begin with and are constantly changing and have been changing ever since humans have created societies. Even if you can somehow organize everyone in the world into specific racial groups based purely on genetic differences what good does it do? How different can they actually be from each other? In the end you are only going to influence the uninformed that races are distinct from each other when they are really not. That will lead to philosophies like Eugenics which primarily influence events like the Holocaust.

Growing up playing ball in North Carolina, Anywhere I went to play ball... I was a minority and the other white dudes were to timid to touch the ball. Or play defense. And the darker ethnic crowd or hip hop culture ... It doesn't matter what they are but they're just not apart of the Andy Griffith crowd wouldnt want me touching the ball, when I finally do get a rebound. Dudes stop playing and just look at me rolling their eyes. Not realizing.... All I did was touch a basketball in my free time. I didn't like video games, TV, girlfriends or whatever most white dudes did... I used to take my ball and go around the neighborhood playing on any goal til night time. Rain never stopped me.... I got to a point where I could tell if people ball by the way they walk or touch a ball. I didn't need to see them dribble or shoot. I used to make everyone watching look in amazement because I could dribble and shoot like it was all natural... I had done Jordan's post up fadeaway shot so much, while for some reason no one practices that move like it's the sickest basketball movement you can do. I honestly had a hard time understanding why a lot of these dudes are even here if they're not balling 24/7. And yet think because of my skin tone I shouldn't touch a ball. It got real old having dedication and determination being totally disregarded because of people's view of a social conflict within themself. I'm not judging anything... I don't even disrespect anyone if they can't dribble. I look the other way and box out for the rebound because I know it's a brick. But from my experience... People want social conflict if there isn't. It's annoying. You can't play and don't want to get embarrassed is what I see. In my 30s now and have no reason to play... It feels good to go out there but you can see the judgment in people's eyes. But now... Since I've grown up. My court awareness is pretty wild yet athleticism is not good at all. I actually can get a lot of respect by simply setting dudes up for easy buckets and tight defense (and it's been ten years since I played, if you put the time in... You can get respect regardless of color, respect yourself)

This is analogous to there being zero white guys who have played cornerback in the NFL for years. Even white receivers are given the nickname of “white lightning”. Black players respect the speed of foot. David Stern and the NBA recognized this long ago and had to import white skin from Europe in order prevent there being 10-12 completely all black teams. It was disguised as taking the NBA brand global, but was really all about the need to lighten up the league. The Knicks once had an all black team and the league was not about to let that happen again, even if it had to import its white skin. Image and appearance is everything. It became hard to advertise the NBA as having the world’s greatest athletes and only a handful of American born white athletes were on the floor.

CBA stood for Continental Basketball Association, not Canadian. Even if it was Canadian, who cares? The NBA has a team in Toronto, so exactly what Nation does National Basketball Association refer to?

[@jasonl8565]

We need more diversity in basketball. The government needs to get involved to ensure we are fighting systemic racism in professional sports. Universities strive toward diversity in the classroom but fail to be consistent in their sports programs as well. These opportunities need to be provide to people of all regardless of the color of their skin.

What is it like to be a white player in the nba? Sort of like being a typical black person in America. Unless u r in the hood, get used to either being the only one or one of a handful in Every room. U Stick out like a sore thumb.

I have no problem with it. He telling the truth.. being a nba player is one thing white privilege won't get u lol.. we on the courts all day as a child at the parks, I don't think they have that type of environment in white neighborhoods, where they crowded at the parks everyday

[@shoulung]

the athletic breeding theory is complete BS. the way genes work has very little to do with breeding. it takes hundreds of generations to produce any real permanent change in an isolated gene pool, let alone an open gene pool (like in the modern world). not to mention almost all "black" people (excluding those that have recently immigrated from Africa) are part "white". the real reason "black" people are good at sports is the sub culture that is African American. kids grow up around the sports, playing the game from when they're very young. I've played video games from a very young age, and as a result I'm very good at them. it almost looks like I'm genetically predisposed to be good at video games. but I promise you, I'm not. its a cultural thing, not a genetic one.

[@jenkinsjamell]

Shut the fuck up; you don't know what the hell you are talking about! You can't compare playing sports to playing video games. Video games is an hand-eye coordination, not a physical gift. White people make up almost 80% of the country which consists of well over 300 million people; black people aren't even the second majority, it's Mexicans. Black people make up 11%, and you are trying to tell me that more black kids only grow up playing sports than white kids? Gtfoh with that nonsense. You're an idiot for making such remarks!

[@shoulung]

Jamell Jenkins chill out dude. I actually do know what I'm talking about. the united states is one large culture with literally millions of subcultures. and yes Hispanics (not Mexicans) are the largest minority I don't get what that has to do with anything I said. of course African American culture is more complex that simple basketball. some black kids play dungeons and dragons and couldn't throw a ball to save their lives. rather than growing up to be an NBA star, they might get a Job as an IT specialist. I wouldn't say that more black kids grow up playing sports than white kids. but by and large for MANY reasons, not as many white people peruse basketball, or football as a career when compared to black people. But thats a really complex topic that goes far beyond youtube comments. ask yourself, if black people are somehow genetically bred to be physically superior like the Aryan race (fyi in an open gene pool that kind of genetic specialization is utterly impossible, evolution like that takes hundreds of thousands, to millions of years, not hundreds) then why aren't black people dominating in literally every sport. they don't really dominate much in the way of baseball, or Soccer. race is pretty evenly distributed between the races in other sports like wrestling. and even football has lots of white players. basketball is one of the only sports that is completely dominated by black players. ask yourself why that is. and while you're at it why don't you go read about to the Social Construction of Race. you should start with W. E. B. Du Bois.

[@rnv18]

Very accurate assesment but too much time waisted on a youtube crowd where random insults will recieve more thumps up then logical analysis of topics. Jamell here would like to believe that he is genetically more athletic and not the simple idea that those atheletes that are at the top of their proffesions simply have worked the hardest throughout their whole lives. Self-ritches view to have not to mention the fact that in a sense it undermines the accomplishments of those that have worked so hard to be where they are.

[@jenkinsjamell]

rnv18 you said all of that and said absolutely nothing. STOP COMMENTING!

Jamell Jenkins I beg to differ. I think i made my self very clear JJ, and to me its not a major task to type up one paragraph, i didn't think i said ALL THAT.

The white cornerbacks will come back...had lots of good ones in the 80's and 90's.up til early 2000's like John Lynch(was a Safety STILL backfield though and was ELITE) Jason Sehorn and others..just like U got Christian Mcaffrey now white running back..They get reverse racism bcs of how coaches and scouts prejudge white athletes and assume they cant keep up..but somebody will push thru..talent is overrated though..how many talented players just dont want to put in the work?Or arent tough minded or determined to get thru adversity?That counts for a lot in sports...Its when u have talent and True Grit and Work Ethic that u get the ELITE LEGENDS

Try finding a white RB in the NFL today i think there is maybe 2. John Riggins was the last great white RB, that was way back in the 80's.

Alstott was a beast! Yes, techniclly he was a FB, but he got to the endzone. Won me a FFB title too :)

[@zlw1998]

Toby Gerhart, Peyton Hillis, Brian Leonard. Try finding a white cornerback, last one on an NFL roster was Jason Sehorn in 2002.

[@Weber562]

zlw1998 J.J. Watt is the best white player in the league with the exception of the QB position, actually the best Defensive Player in the league, I hope he wins the MVP. Lol Jason Sehorn. There are very good white players though, plenty really.

[@zlw1998]

Weber562 I was responding to original comment of there being no white RB's. I'm aware Watt is white; Luke Kuechly, Harrison Smith, Eric Weddle are also dominant white defensive players. I was just saying how there is a lack of white corners.

[@Jb-hv6tq]

Christian macafrie one of the best

[@aligboyakasha]

I don't think anyone has the answer here so far that has convinced me, and I do not know of an answer. But one factor that I think is ignored is: look at the cost of entry to play basketball. Shoes, and maybe a ball, and hopefully some nearby public or school courts. Now, hopefully you can get to a coach that is good, or you can get an indoor court so you aren't in bad weather and beating your knees on asphalt all the time too, but the basic training needs are cheap. Even maintaining a basic level (not stadium) basketball court is significantly cheaper over long periods of time than a grass field. Almost every other sport requires significantly more investment financially.

[@alanmazzucchelli9013]

aligboyakasha, that is certainly true and the paucity of jobs in the hood would provide the time to perfect one's skills. However in the 60s and early 70s African-American players dominated baseball and higher numbers in the National League provided a big performance advantage relative to the American League.

[@dwashington1333]

Not a good argument, Football is dominated by blacks and a ton of equipment is needed to play.
