I'm sorry but you're wrong. And this is coming from soneone who played competitive tennis and baseball in high school and competitive tennis in college. And from someone who flat out beat some of those "more athletic" black athletes. From someone who was faster and out ran some of those "faster" black athletes.
Blacks as a whole are more genetically blessed than whites when it comes to athletics. Your average black kid who has never seen a gym looks like a white guy with noob gains. Those crackheads on the corner look ripped.
Whites are probably the most well rounded race on the planet. Fairy smart (not east asian tier), and fairly athletic (not sub-saharan african tier).
East asians maxed their skill points into intelligence.
Outliers exist, but I think thats a fair overall assessment.

What kind of fairy smart are we talking? Fairy godmother smart, or tooth fairy smart?

White men can't jump

Jokic and Luka are top 5 in the NBA and wouldn’t be considered super athletic on NBA scale.
Basketball is something where raw athleticism helps but developed skills can even the playing field for lesser athletes.

Its simple. Black folks are more athletic.
Would be no different than saying white people are smarter than blacks.
Racist or true?

Running and jumping in the jungle to escape wild animals for thousands of years finally paid off!

As for the topic at hand, yes, blacks are generally faster and more explosive athletes. Few white athletes are genetic freaks. Most of the great white athletes separate themselves more with their smarts, discipline, etc., than their bodies.
Larry Bird is arguably the best white basketball player of all time and his physical gifts were relatively pedestrian. Nikola Jokic is arguably the best player (white or black) in today's game and (again) it's more about his mind than his raw physical ability.
If Bird had the body of James or Jordan and Jokic the body of O'Neal, shite.

I have always heard that in the slavery days, black men and women were bred to be stronger and bigger so that they could work longer and harder. If that was true, then you would have the makings of the athletes we see today.

It’s not like there are no white players in the NBA or NFL…

Black men have more dense muscle mass and bigger bones, therefore you see very few black olympic swimmers.
Next olympics count the number of white sprinters in the 100 and 200 meter dash, or any of the shorter/medium distance track events.

Yeah, that’s why.

You can thank slavery for this. The weaker black folks were culled or died in transit. The strong survived. The stronger slaves were more valuable. The weaker ones died off and left the gene pool.

I don’t think it’s racist.
Saying, “The average white is smarter than the average black” shouldn’t be considered racist. If it is, the facts are racist. Being forced to lie to avoid being called a racist is not healthy for society.
Racism would be saying, “This man is black, therefore he must not be smart.” This statement is racist and untrue.

White people see no reason to play this idiotic game.

So then you're saying that black people are by and large significantly more athletic than white people?
I mean they do seem to be built for it.
Why is it taboo to say that blacks are really athletic on average? It’s not taboo to acknowledge orientals are smaller stature or Pacific Islanders are stout or Scandinavians are taller than Italians.

Are you purposely being obtuse/stupid?
There are more blacks in the NFL and NBA than whites. I said on average they are faster and more explosive. I never said there aren’t ANY white players. The numbers back me up.
