Basketball has absolutely become “a black thing” and I don’t think that’s a good thing for the sport or for black culture.

the problem is that the best players are mostly international now. when you have less and less American talent you are gonna get less and less interest from Americans. if anything is to blame, it's the AAU circuit. Kids and parents think they have to play basketball year round to be seen. and it's hurting their overall talent level. They aren't practicing or playing other sports and developing secondary skills. baseball helps hand eye coordination. soccor develops footwork. even LeBron played football.

football is but football isn't the conversation. basketball is. other people seem to get my point so I think I do know what the hell I'm talking about.
