Are there more WHITE boys in the NBA now than before? (past 20 years or so)
IRAN iz Gangsta!:
white boys i mean even europeans and international players...basically non-blacks
seems like there are alot more of them now than before, i guess it was the 80s were the black players started becoming more and more.
i personally like the international scene in NBA, brings competition and experience rather than recruiting some college kids who end being a bust many times.

look at amount of legit HOF white players who have played since LArry Bird retired in 1992
john stockton (1st ballot HOFer), steve nash (2 time MVP, borderline HOF candidate), Dirk Nowitzki (best 7 foot shooter of all time lol)
thats 3 players....not very good if you're trying to market toward young white kids
same situation MLB is in with young african americans who lean toward NBA and NFL instead

There's more because basketball has become more of an international game, but the shit ain't changin drastically or anything lol
