im not being racist towards white people cuz i am white. I also got hops im 14 yrs 5'10'' and i can touch rim. but not every athletic 5'10'' 14 yr caucasian can touch rim but i bet atleast 90% of athletic black 14 yr caucasians can. believe me im not racist i wish 90% of white people had hops too. Im jst wondering why it is this way.

You should ask the former sports announcer known as Jimmy The Greek.

it's not a racist question. Look at the NBA and NFL, the two main sports black people play, they dominate in terms of numbers over other races. I've seen white guys who can jump and have good speed but there's a hell of a lot more black guys with that kind of ability. I'm sure there's some reason.

It's not the matter of black or white. You know that NBA is held the upper america like Los Angels, Chicago,etc. There the people are white & some are black too. After all it's about your ability that how far u can jump.

the comparable way that whites, asians, close by human beings, and indians do: via utilising their leg muscular tissues. Now some human beings boost those muscular tissues extra easily than others so as that they for sure are in a position to bounce bigger. it is the comparable way with accuracy, some human beings are merely for sure in a position to hit objectives extra useful than others. it is set via genetics. Black, white, brown, yellow, or eco-friendly would not rely.

You are not being a racist? Then why do you sound like one?
White guys can also jump very high. Try watching high jumping and you will see a lot of non-blacks jumping high.

I have heard that way back when black people were still slaves they used to selectively breed the stronger men and the stronger women hoping for stronger kids so it could possibly be genetics

My advice to you is to go to these two websites http://run-down.com/guests/je_black_athletes_p1.php and http://run-down.com/guests/je_black_athletes_p2.php. They have a lot of information about your topic. Also, you may want to purchase "Taboo : Why Black Athletes Dominate Sports and Why We're Afraid to Talk About It" by Jon Entine.

Us black people needed to be able to run faster and jump higher so we could get away from the cheetahs in Africa.
