Is David Stern's primary reason for the globaliztion of the NBA, is to add more non black players to the game? I'm sure he will not admit to this, but you have to be curious of the fact - if you eliminated the number of european whites, Yao Ming and the few south american players, the league would be 98.8% black

i think the reason for the globalization is not because of the number of black player's in the league it's to get more non nba fan's to have inetrest in the nba that's why they play in china every pre season an di wouldn't be surprised to see a few more pre season games being played in other countries beside's china.... in fact david stern did go on a global tour this season and went to i think 7 different countries in 7 day's so it's just about geting more fan's to enjoy the game it has nothing to do with the number of black player's in the league

I disagree. Globalization will increase revenue through merchandising and potential spin off leagues (like NFL Europe). It is pretty bad when NBA teams went to Europe and got their butts kicked. I don't think race or color has anything to do with it, can you shoot the basketball? Can you rebound? How about blocking shots? And so on...... If you can do any of these then any team should be interested.
