Black people tend to associate themselves more with the game, and so with time they got/get better considering they have been playing for a considerable amount of time and their families have also played the game and loved it. The love of the game is passed on and i guess the skill it takes is developed and made better by different people Not dependant on their race.
Even if your white or of another race you should join in the game because it's a great game and so there should be no boundries between who can play or not.
All it takes is for you to have a basketball a few other people and willingness to learn and adapt (yes, yes i know the baskets [u cn practice withought these but in time you could find some to play in])

For whatever reason blacks are more athletic and with basketball being a fast pace, up and down, running and jumping, change of pace and direction style game, the more athletic you are, more of an advantage you will have. I remember one of my basketball buddies from college, no jump shot and not much of a set shot either. Ok dribbling and not the most graceful person. He was fast, strong and had excellent footwork due to soccer. He would simply beat you to the bucket for a layup and that he was relentless at doing. He was a handful to deal with.
In closing, when it comes to basketball, it doesnt matter the race or color of the player, being althletic and agile gives you an edge and if you have strong basketball knowledge and an offensive skill set that would simply make you a better baskeball player. Last example, let's say Steve Nash was as quick as his teammate Barbosa and could jump like Baron Davis from the Warriors and Nash gets to keep the tools he already has. Feel free to imagine . . .

The truth is, that the only reason there is racial bias in the game is that basketball has always been a game that was played in inner city areas that didn't have much money.
Basketball is an inexpensive game to play once a goal is up.
These areas have been historically populated by blacks
The neighborhood I grew up in was about half black and half white and on the lower class side. Basketball was about all we played. We wanted to play other sports but even the cheaps ones require a lot of room.

If you're however striving to increase you are straight and you are trying to get both hands above the rim, set Vert Shock to the check, a program you will find it here https://tr.im/4lnaI and give it a take to, you will be astonished of how quickly you can be a creature hopper in the event that you train the proper way.
This program will not cause you to jump tens and thousands of situations because Vert Shock was created and utilized by true elite level basketball players.
As it pertains down seriously to it, in the event that you actually want to jump higher, you only discovered the most effective system on the planet to do so. Every other way might merely be considered a spend of time.

Who can really say? There tend to be alot bigger black and white people then most other races...(don't see too many asians or mexicans playing in basketball, or football) no offense. Other then that, I would have to say the number of blacks that actually play the sport compared to other races is astronomically higher. Not saying the best i've seen is black (unless you wanna talk about Jordan), just a higher number plays as youngsters, thus transfers over to the professioanl league. Off topic- to all the racist comments on this topic...just grow the **** up...Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowizki, Labron James, Jason Kidd, Manu Ginobli, Tim Duncan...all very good at they're positions...=O, and they're not all black...oh and too the white man can't jump statement...the highest vertical leap i've seen...which is on youtube...is from a white kid who jumped over 5 feet...be my guest and check it out.

I think most basketball players are black because they are born with the gift of basketball like King James!

Depends on what type of sports is played in your neighborhood while growing up. Black kids played football (American) and basketball a lot. Some became good at it through practice and would join their high school/college teams. Scouts attend these games at times and to find new talent.
It is just like ice skating. A lot of white kids grew up ice skating or playing ice hockey. It really is more cultural than racial.

Incest. Them black boys like to keep it in 'da' family and it takes a few generations to brew a good 9 footer. The whites are struggling to reach 7 feet nowadays, but their anti-incest morals take over and prevent them. 'Dem' blacks don't have this taboo thinking and just go on supplying basketball players of the highest calibre. I know an 11footer down my road and he is his sisters cousins boyfriends uncle that got his mum up the duff when he was 8. Shithot at the high jump too!

It's because that what balck people do all day is play basketball and I guess it's in their genes that they get so tall it al traces back to Africa and it's all about their ancestors and the blacks today, besides basketball is an awesome sport.

ask boyz in the hood what they want to be when they grow up, and the answer is basketball player or rapper. no coincidence they dominate these two career paths. for the other 99 percent that don't make it, reality comes like a swift kick in the ***. don't be a fool, stay in school
