How come there are so many Europeans on NBA teams?
5 of the last 6 MVP's in the NBA have been white
How'd that happen?
Basketball is a ghetto sport. There are lots of white ghettos in Europe.

We put money into sport we like
China puts money into sports they can win at the olympics.
Chinese women didn’t l suddenly pick up a love for air rifles organically.

We invented it. It’s a major sport here. We have a large population to draw athletes from.

The only time "half white" counts as "white" is when reporting crime statistics.

Historically we’re the only country that has cared about basketball. Also, whatever ball parents stick in kids hands is usually what kids cling to. In the USA, parents say here’s a basketball go dribble it outside and leave me alone. In other countries it’s a soccer ball.

300m+ population with such a variety of genetics that we find players to fill all positions.
China has a billion people but hasn’t produced may great centers outside Yao Ming.

If it were that simple of an explanation, England would dominate a bunch of sports.

South Sudan has been playing well. There’s no gym in their country. Of course, their players live somewhere else.
