Where’s Jimmy the Greek when you need him?

LaVar Ball, as if I needed another reason not to watch basketball.

The loss had more to do with his vastly overrated, over-hyped son getting destroyed by UK’s De’Aaron Fox.

In the two games UK-UCLA played this year (which they split) Fox showed to be vastly superior. Total stats:

Fox: 59 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 turnovers
Ball: 24 points, 15 assists, 9 rebounds, 10 turnovers

Fox is a better player, better personality, better leader and should be drafted before Ball. Plus, he doesn’t have the baggage of an out-of-control father.

I once looked at performance in the Olympics. West African and their diaspora dominate the short distance, long jump and triple jump. But not other sports. With certain other sports, others dominate or are more successful than their percent of the human population. North Africans in middle distance, East Africans in long distance. As for the decathlon, no race or ethnic group dominates.

If you look at baseball, teams become increasingly left-handed as you elevate from high school to college/low minor leagues to major leagues.

If you look at mathematics and science, the Nobel Prize winners are almost all male.

So what about any of this. Let the chips fall where they may. As long as the competition is fair, let the best man or woman do the job.

UCLA lost because the other team was better. It doesn’t matter white, black, US, international, right- or left-handed.

When my team is winning, I don’t see anything but the uniform. I will admit, when my team is losing, my mind wanders.

The only qualification I’d put to this is that it’s unfair to allow genetic men, or women who dope up with testosterone to compete as women. If you’re going to allow people with the strength of men to compete as women, you might as well shut down women’s sports.

Well done! If you've done that work I assume you've read this:

Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life>

Your point is also made often by Thomas Sowell. Basically, there's no reason to expect equal outcomes of any groups within an area of performance to begin with.

So would Bill Walton, Bob Gross, and Dave Twardzik (1976-1977 Trailblazers). Dale Schleuter was actually the one at center when they won the championship, but he was white too.

“...Goes back to the classic response to “White Men Can’t Jump”: Black men can’t read....”

And Black Men Can’t Swim either. What a bunch of racist BS.

Foolish whites should take this black’s statement as to an indication black thinking. Blacks resent whites and just because some do not shoot off their mouths one does not see the vast majority rushing to the white’s defense.

quick! Someone post Jimmy the Greeks’ drunken speech about the big black slave thighs

Jimmy was not drunk and he was not a racist and he was 100% correct.

He stated that the slave owners used the biggest and strongest male and female slaves as breeder stock, the same way that cattle owners do.

That improves the size and strength of following generations, which has been proven by genetic science.

The truth will set you free...from your gig at CBS Sports when too many people hate the truth.

The New England Patriots disagree strongly. Racist scum. And the people in charge of most college and professional sports teams discriminate against whites horribly, it is systematic. The slow white guy meme is such a damned lie.

Since most white players in the NBA are European or South Smerican they wont take offense and fans will only consider Ws.

Jimmy the Greek said something similar a few decades ago, and was never heard from again.

Larry Bird, Danny Ainge and Kevin McHale

There has to be a modifier about three ugly white guys in there somewhere.
