No one ever asks where are all the white kids in basketball? It's a fair question isn't it? Also one could ask why is the black population so disproportionately represented in football? 75% or more of lsu's football players are black in case no ones noticed.

Then you do an article on it. If you feel this is an under evaluated area, then evaluate it. Just because no one has done an article on the lack of whites in basketball does not mean that this article is invalid.

A big reason is the same I gave for no blacks in baseball. The white kids don't play youth basketball anymore. The explosing of "travel baseball" has killed youth basketball for the white kids. I have kids at a young age, and there are way too many white families sucked into paying thousands of dollars YEAR AROUND instead of lettin the kids play other sports.

Every athletic white kid now is a superstar baseball player. At least in their parents eyes.
