Basketball Stereotyping


It doesn’t matter what race a ball player is if he is good he is good. Korean basketball players may not be something that is well known but if there is a Korean that is good at basketball it shouldn’t matter. It takes a special kind of person to ignore talent because of a person’s race. Although it is true that Jewish people dominated the basketball circuits. They have since been replaced by black players. There is a definite race dominance of black people in basketball today. I don’t see a problem with this since most of them do have the skill. Although I do feel since the transition to the black dominated NBA basketball is no longer enjoyable. Its not because of the blacks but it is because they won’t alter the game to the new players. It has become a show off contest where no one plays defense and looking good on court is more important than playing basketball. Race shouldn’t matter it should be based on skill but I don’t think this can happen until the players themselves focus on skill.
