Bl@ack international students I met in graduate schools were generally much better, especially more hardworking than our homegrown ones.
They don�t seem to feel entitled to anything, and are free of the victim mentality.
That�s been my experience as well. Africans born here lose ambition.
I can’t believe you are so openly rayceest
See 90s Bulls: Toni Kukoc from Yugoslavia was a great player, but easily not one of the top three players on that specific team, despite widely being considered one of the greatest players from Europe in NBA history.
If anything, the NBA strongly proves the thesis that phenotypical racial differences are meaningful. They aren't all-encompassing, as some white players are good enough to play in the NBA, but clearly at that particular endeavor African Americans are racially superior to white Europeans.
This ig/nores all the relevant denominators, and the fact that a certain body type is a prerequisite for even being in the conversation. Control for percentage of males over 6’5” with ab/nor/mal/ly long limbs before you even start talking about skill.
This doesn't support the idea that.they're good at bball.
There are a number of players shortwr than 6'5.
Few of thwm are wite.

It’s a given that NBA players under 6’5” are highly skilled though. And even those short ones usually have fre/a/k/is/hly long limbs.
Another relevant factor is pro-A/A, anti-white stereotypes among NBA scouts and execs.
So, the sub-6'5 wh players lose out because they lack skill and athleticism.

We don’t really know. No one has really evaluated skill by race controlling for body type and prejudice. The fact that African-descended players dominate basketball leagues in a variety of different cultures suggests that body type is the strongest predictor of basketball success.
How'd you go from "Yugolsavians are better at basketball" to "We don't really know who's better at basketball?"

That was three months ago. I still stand by that opinion, but I acknowledge that there is no compelling empirical case to be made, other than that yugos routinely dominate international play. It is truly remarkable relative to the size of the population.
So were you wrong then, or are you wrong now?
