Guy is such a hard worker Celtics coaches have a special practice drill where every player just has to go up against him one-on-one, full court.

If my fellow honkys can hit the 3 like Bird did, there'd be more of us in the NBA

To all my downvoters, how many nba players could skate if thrown onto the ice? How many would have the hand eye coordination on top of that while being hit into the boards? Plenty of NHL athletes could step onto a basketball court and drain some shots.

I agree that hockey players are the best athletes overall, but it goes beyond just skating, boarding and the speed of the game. It's their toughness. Sometimes you see embellishment but not true flopping. Players can lose their stick, skate blade, teeth or be injured and play continues.

I had a friend that tried skate on ice and fell down 13 times.

The point is that elite white American athletes are choosing other sports to play. It's not good for the country if white kids don't play basketball and black kids don't play baseball.

Exactly. Him saying this is as bad as everything Burn Loot Mangle does. Let's just reinforce Black Privilege.

Yeah, that big white guy in Denver sucks at basketball. The same with that Dallas Lakers guy.

Seems like there are more white NBA players now than 20-30 years ago. Bc of the Europeans. The “white men can’t jump” mantra was bigger in the 90s IMO.

Slavs arent a race, they are a culture. Like hispanics. And legally hispanics are white

YEP the early 90's "White Men Can't Jump " Era ignited / awakening some of the White race better step it up; that it wasn't funny anymore.

Soon thereafter Brent Barry then went ahead & became First White Player to WIN the "Dunk Contest" in 1996.......jumping from Dr.J's Foul-line

Off the Top of my Head
Tom Chambers
Chris "Birdman" Anderson
Matt Stageingna
Chase Budinzger
Rex Chapman
Mac McClung
Christian Braun
Jaime Jaquez
Cooper Flagg
Jordan Klingnon


And plenty others not mentioned that could jump out the gym...
White Athlete's just wanted a seat at the table too....Much like Black athlete's wanted the chance to play QB
