The NBA is about 95% black!

Blacks are about 13% of the population.

I get it. Million-man math.

Their gender and race hiring scores come from OFF the court.

When they have gender and race parity ON the court, then I'll believe their claims.

Among highlights of the NBA's report card for the 2010-11 season: Persons of color made up 83 percent of players, the highest ever reported. African Americans made up 78 percent of the players, equaling the highest mark since 2001-02. There were nine African-American head coaches, one more than the previous year, and one Asian, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. Women made up 42 percent of professional employees in the league office. Sacramento's Marina Kolokotronis and New Jersey's Irina Pavlova became the first women team presidents since 2007-08. Only 15 percent of team vice presidents are women.
