1. I believe that yes that's true - you can practice in the street with just a ball.

2. I also believe it was invented to be cheap and easy to play with not much equipment...

Wrong! First, that sounds like a qustion with a racist connotation. Second, soccer is the most popular sport in the world because you only need a ball to play. You need a ball and a basketball hoop to play basketball, and if someone wants to join a league or play organized b-ball, that would cost money, too. If that were the case-that African-Americans would play one sport over another because it is more cost effective-wouldn't more blacks in the U.S. be playing soccer according to your logic? And third, have you noticed how many African-Americans there are in football? I think a lot more blacks play football than basketball. I could be wrong on this one, but I think it may just have something to do with the fact that they seem to gravitate towards basketball and have the desire and physical abilities to become very good at it.

Blacks play basketball more than other sports for many reasons. One basketball is probably the only sport in america in which someone can be paid a 10 million dollar contract a year for advertisements without first playing in a pro game or a college game such as lebron james. Secondly basketball is a sport where it is easy to practice and develop on your own.

Answer: No

I think black children growing up might want to play basketball b/c there are a lot of black basketball players, making it a self-reinforcing cycle. Likewise, some white children might feel as if they won't be as good at basketball b/c there are less white players and pick a different sport.

Thats a dumb question, so what if blacks play basketball more than other sports? Its probably because they LIKE it not because they're poor or anything. I think that a black guy INVENTED basketball, so they probably idolize him for creating such a great sport. And basketball is like, one of the most popular sports, so who the heck cares?

that is a very racist question because you are basically saying that black people have no money. how would you like it if a said asians cant play basketball because they cant grow taller than 5 feet. and dont say yao ming because hes one out of a million.

That is probably one of the dumbest, most stereotyped, racist questions I have ever heard. The annals of every sport are replete with names of great black athletes.

Uh, no.

If you wanted cheap sports, you'd play soccer. You don't need a rim to play soccer. Rim is expensive y'know...
