2376274, How is that crying???? Only reason why other white players don't say

what he said is cuz of the PC world we live...look at how this has become a faux controversial story

In 2004, Bird made what was to me a pretty innocuous statement awhile back why the NBA has lost some of its white viewers...and he said because there were no white stars in the league...and ppl tried to make a big deal out of that.

This kid just addressed the elephant in the room when it comes to white ball players and the NBA - he just said what other white dudes think

You don't think there are GMs who are reluctant to pull the trigger on drafting white players high in the draft...just because they're white and the recent history of drafting white players in the lottery or the 1st round hasn't panned out for a lot of teams
