Young Phil Jackson on Blacks in NBA
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 18th, 2013 9:49 PM Author: Autistic frum pisswyrm sound barrier "Throughout the years the black players on the Knicks have possessed much better physical ability than the white players, being generally faster and better jumpers. I also think that they have always had superior one-on-one talent."
"White players are more often willing to run patterns and to work collectively."
"Because of the predominance of blacks in pro basketball, the sport is rapidly disintegrating into a one-on-one sport. There are only five or six NBA teams who play with more than a superficial degree of team unity."
On the Knicks: "The starting front court played white basketball while guards played black basketball."
"Black kids growing up want to be the superstar of their neighborhood. They want to be the toughest kids on the block, the richest or, once they get to the playground, the best one-on-one basketball players. White kids, on the other hand, usually are raised in a more homogeneous environment which provides other outlets for personal expression. They're also constantly being taught the principle of subordinating their own personal glory for the good of the group."
"The average player's career is a very short period of his life, and the minute he's through nobody knows who is. Twenty-five years from now the only people who will remember me will be a few trivia experts, and that's exactly how it should be. A lot of black players look at their careers differently. Many blacks have let themselves believe that being in the NBA is one of the greatest things a person can accomplish. I believe this type of feeling is ultimately very destructive, because the only way you can live with it is to get into a heavy fantasy trip. I've seen the process develop many times, and very few players ever find happiness that way."

Date: February 18th, 2013 10:09 PM Author: khaki sticky kitty headpube The thing is, I would much rather watch Carmelo Anthony put on a scoring clinic than a bunch of role players rotating through bounce passes until one of the defenders trips up. Phil wasn't denigrating the physical evolution of the game because it was the natural consequence of the sport becoming more efficient at identifying and cultivating the best athletes. He was pointing out that young black athletes are raised in a culture that sets them up to fail even as they reach what they believe is the apex of achievement, and any black person who disagrees with that is a backwards idiot contributing to the permanent underclass problem.

The best players of today's NBA are pretty unselfish: LeBron, Durant, Paul, Duncan, Parker, etc. Carmelo is the #2 scorer but nobody considers him that good.

Date: February 22nd, 2013 3:37 AM Author: Shaky Motley Piazza Chad I saw Bill Russel on the street last year or so. He lives on Mercer Island, near Seattle. He was climbing into a black Mercedes SUV. The instant he saw I that recognized him, he looked away sharply like he did NOT want to be approached. Inside his SUV he was communicating with someone in the front passenger seat. What shocked me was how nimble Bill's hands were while he was gesticulating. My point is this: Bill Russel allegedly dunking on 5'10 white guys for eight or so years accounts for much of the luster on Auerbach's resume. OTOH, Phil wasn't exactly coaching scrubs in Chicago or in LA; and Marino was a better quarterback than Dilfer. I think Phil's accomplishments, however, do eclipse Red's.
