.Rex Chapman🏇🏼 explains why he believes there are so many good white international NBA players, but we haven't seen a white American player named to an All-NBA team in 10 years: "'You can't play that sport, it doesn't suit your race.' That's not how [European players] are brought up.... show more

@RexChapman A lot of good North American white basketball players come from remote places where they didn't grow up around blacks, like John Stockton from Spokane and Steve Nash from Vancouver Island. Whites tend to mature physically later, so not having to compete much with blacks can help.

@RexChapman I've also heard that European kids play way fewer games and spend more time practicing. My limited experience with American AAU hoop is that it's games, games, games all the time compared to the amount of practice time. Interested in other thoughts on this.

@RexChapman Our development program (AAU) isn't designed for white kids to show what they got. It's about being an athlete and if don't fit that mold, well...

@RexChapman What's the difference between AAU, for basketball and travel ball for baseball? Whites dominate baseball travel ball but not AAU basketball? It's more than showboat and style. If whites played AAU, you would see the same level of achievement they have in baseball. Rex is right

@RexChapman White kids and their parent don’t want to be exposed to the toxic trash that is ghetto black culture, so they avoid basketball

@RexChapman I had this debate weeks ago. Last white American drafted in top five that was decent… KEITH VAN HORN

Brock Wilson2 years ago

@RexChapman Chet will likely change that stat in the coming years, Flagg probably not too far behind him.

Reality continues to ruin my life2 years ago

@RexChapman I blame AAU and the showboating style. Europeans are fundamentally better players.

@RexChapman Gonna need to get the fact checked by @Steve_Sailer

@RexChapman Enter Cooper Flagg. He will be a serious problem.

How many white defenders have we seen in the NBA… it takes a different type of brotha. I’m just keeping it real… Defense is a want to fellas. You gotta want to sit in that chair” (Via Nightcap)

An NBA player told Coach Tommy Tempesta yesterday that he loves working with him because he's not constantly critiquing his form. That's not a compliment. That's an indictment on the entire industry. Players are so used to being told what's wrong with them that when someone finally doesn't, it feels like freedom. We don't "fix" shots. We calibrate players. Its less about what we say to you, and more about what you need to explore.

Nick Shirley’s mom makes an EXCELLENT point When Zohran Mamdani vowed to fix inequities in New York, he ONLY targeted White People and White Families “Zohran Mamdani failed to mention what the Asian families make, what the Hispanic family makes, what a Russian family makes, he only pointed out what a white person makes. We need to take from the white family and give to the black family” Brookerteejones makes another great point “Many black people live in subsidized housing in New York City. If they make too much money, they'll be kicked out of their subsidized housing, so they want to make a certain amount so they continue to live in their subsidized housing. If we're talking about how much people make on their race, why don't we look into the NBA team there in New York City? How much do the black players make versus the white players? And how many more black players are on the team than white players? Hmm. Maybe he should look into that and maybe throw a little bit of Asian basketball players on the NBA team. Zohran Mamdani, what he said is pretty darn racist if you ask me”

RAY LEWIS SAYS NFL PLAYERS ARE JEALOUS OF NBA PLAYERS… AND EXPLAINS WHY. 😳🏈 Ray Lewis said some NFL players look at NBA players and think they have a much easier life. His take: “They have a much easier life.” Lewis explained the biggest difference comes down to how each sport handles injuries. He said in basketball and baseball: “Don’t play hurt, there’s another day.” But in the NFL: “If you don’t play hurt in the NFL, you are weak.” Ray said football players are expected to push through pain, because sitting out can be viewed as letting the team down. “I’m not leaving my teammates going to battle.”

Gutfeld: There is not a lot of any racial conflict in the NBA. But there is in the WNBA. Especially toward specific white players. So maybe we do fix that by letting men in wigs play. But why is it that men keep race off the court but women can't? It's because I think the women's college majors were far different than the men's. Men didn't major in gender studies or race studies.

Gilbert Arenas says Chet Holmgren shouldn’t have made the All-Star team “Nothing against Chet but 17,8,7. Yeah your team is number one. We get it. But it’s a third option. It’s a third option player, right? It’s like, please get the first option players first, then you can move on to option twos, then threes. That’s exactly what Kawhi Leonard is doing, right? James Harden, right? The names that people want to go see. Not the third person that don’t get any focal point of nothing. You are not an All-Star player right now. You’re on the best team in the NBA and you’re doing okay, but you’re not dominating. You’re not like, you know, for most part, you’re playing an up and down. I don’t want to take his All-Star away from him, but this is why these are the reasons why players don’t play hard in it. You don’t put the real players in there” (Via Gilbert Arenas)

Gilbert Arenas responds to the narrative that international players are taking over the NBA: there are about 450 players in the league. They always bring up the same handful of bigs — like Wemby, Jokic, Giannis, Embiid — but when it comes to guards? They don't have any. The elite guards are still mostly American.

Kenny Atkinson on why he thinks Derrick White is a Top 5 player in the NBA: "What probably people aren't measuring is his defensive impact ... analytically I think it's probably proven in various places that he is that player and that's how we treat him." "He really disrupts you defensively, he's an elite rim protector. Probably the best guard, rim protector in the league. So just take all those things and put it in there and with the shooting, you got a great player." - (via NBA)

Gilbert Arenas on why great college players don’t always pan out in the NBA: “I think people think your stats really matter at the next level. Your college stats, you’re playing against other college kids and most colleges, you know, you’re not going against top tier talent, you know, in your position itself, right? You’re playing a defense that doesn’t get played at that next level. So, you can be a great guard and then the next level you’re not even a basketball player, you can be an average college player and be a NBA superstar. It’s about what is your attributes, some kids are NBA players, not college players. Some kids are college players, not NBA players.” (Via Gilbert Arenas)

Brian Windhorst explains why some NBA executives believe Derrick White provides more value than Jaylen Brown “In today’s NBA, value isn’t just about who’s the better player.” “It’s about a player’s production compared to what he costs.” “They’re not saying Derrick White is better than Jaylen Brown.” “They’re saying Derrick White produced at an elite level, made First Team All-Defense, and cost about $20 million less.” “In the NBA, value and talent are no longer viewed as the same thing.”

Arteta on the players battling a physical strain: “Yes, but when I see them track back, when we lose the ball and the habits that they have, it's just amazing. That's why I know what they are doing, these players. There is a reason why we are the only English team in the competition, because this league and this schedule takes the hell out of you and it's very difficult to do what we've done. “We are not perfect, we need to improve things, that's for sure, we recognise that, but let's value what these players have done because they deserve it.”
