I cannot stand Jamele Hill. She tries to bring race into every fricking story she can. Every goddamn argument somehow turns into the plight of the American black athlete

I watches the rerun of this show today because I heard Skip was slobbering all over the Hornets draft. The show was actually very surprising watchable. I have avoided it like the plaque since the Cold Pizza days.

Anyway Skip brought up the topic and basically said in America when white kids reach junior high they realized for the most part they are not as athletically gifted as the black kids in a black kid dominated sport and decide they would rather focus on baseball or football. SAS threw out Love as being a stud bur said Miles Plumee is a joke of a first rounder, which I agree.

I think the kicker is being a center, not a power forward. I'm a Hornets fan and if they would have picked Leonard or Zeller with the tenth pick I would not have liked it. Anyone want to name 5 all stars in the last 20 years that fit the American born white center bill?

David Lee
Kevin Love (who is better than the over hyped Griffin)
Chris Kaman
Tom Chambers
Bill Laimbeer

pretty sure all these guys played within the last 20 years and were all-stars. Could be off by a year or two on the last 2

They played in the last 20 years but their All-star level days weren't in the last 20.

right. but in either case, this argument is silly when one of the best all around big men in the league is a honkey.
