Look. This whole black-tude theory is just as silly and laughable as it gets. When you find me the "white basketball", super-disciplined, totally team-oriented NBA team that wins the championship playoffs, then we'll talk. Heck, just find me one that wins its region. If there's any merit to this super-dumb theory it won't take you long. Good luck! The Lakers played street ball. It was, "Give ME the ball!...No give Me the ball!" all series long. Detroit played as a unit and won relatively easy. Back in the 80's the Lakers flamboyant style that was dubbed "Showtime" was based on a team concept. The play with multiple passes was their focus. They concentrated on passing the ball, not shooting the ball. Given a choice, they would set up Kareem in the lane for an easy jump hook, but could run and gun with the best. It was one part street ball and four parts systematic. The only team that stayed with them was the Celtics, who were all hustle, all "make the pass to the open man." A team full of stars who all want to score thirty points a night is a team that won't win championships. This attitude doesn't lend itself to white culture. If black culture exists (just ask a black man if you think it doesn't), then white culture must also exist.
