jazzie606 and ong jon  pretty much have it right.\n\nBasketball is not a 'black' game... it's a city game.\n\nHistorically, whatever 'group' of people comprise the majority of inner city populations, also happened to be the dominant players in basketball.\n\nBack in the 1920s and 1930s, the majority of inner city residents were Jewish, Jewish players dominated basketball. As we moved into the 1940s and 1950s, Jews moved out of the inner cities, blacks from the south moved into the inner cities, and basketball was soon dominated by black players.\n\nI remember on an NBC special re: the dominance of blacks in sports, they interviewed a Jewish player from the 1930s, and he said that "we used to say that every Jewish kid was born with a basketball in his hands"... of course, the same was later said about blacks.\n\nBut basketball is a city game (don't need much space or equipment to play), and this is why the majority of the best/most exciting players come from big ciites.

I don't see a problem.  It's not like you're saying "all black athletes are better than white athletes" or "all white students are better than black students."  However, the conclusions you draw by looking at a small sample of athletes or a pile of numbers are somewhat faulty.  Here's why:  Yes, there are a lot more black athletes in the NBA than white athletes, but how many black hockey players do you know?  They are some of the strongest, fastest, toughest guys on the planet.  Also, it may be true that statistics show blacks as not scoring as high on aptitude tests than whites, but we have charter schools in Detroit that are 95% black students (or better) and these kids are scoring higher on the SAT/ACT than their white counterparts in the suburban Christian academies.  My point is this:  Be careful about making general comments about any given race, and try to look at the whole picture when using "evidence" to back up your claims.

well cafu, dida and serginho dont really count as black since they are brazilians and they are more brown than black. The real black players that come to my mind are clarence seedorf, george weah, marcel desailly.

NFL=no\n\nNBA=yes, there has been including Avery Johnson this year for the Mavericks.\n\nThe question was "have there ever been a black head coach TO any championship"; while grammatically incorrect, yes there has been in the NBA, none in the NFL.  Now it's changed, I didn't see that before.   Wasn't Russell a player/coach during the latter part of the early Celts dynasty?

dont think it is tim thomas sr, only two tim thomas listed at hockeydb,and their ages dont make them father/son. legends of hockey which typcially notates all family connections also lists none for tim thomas. it certainly can be a distant relative, or even a rookie (making it a brother cousin. etc) that has not been added but very unlkely to be an elder close relative\n\n\noh by the way sebastein bach (hair-metal singer)has a brother who was an NHL goaltender ... find him :)lol

I'm assuming you mean the 2 former Wake Forest players, not the Eric Williams that played @ PC and for the Celtics and is now on the Spurs....if so, here you go.\n\nJustin Gray is playing for a team called Pepinster in the Belgian D1 league \n\nEric Williams is playing for Cantu in the Italian League and is a teammate of former PC guard Donnie McGrath, hope that helps!

He's not with the NHL anymore, but Chris Luongo is my cousin. He played for the Senators & the New York Islanders before moving to Germany.\n\nAnd no, not the same family as the "other" Luongo from Florida. :o)

No. \n\nHere's an example "Owen Hargreaves was actually born in Canada but due to heritage was eligible to play for either the English, Welsh, Canadian, or German national teams. He chose England."

Just under 50% of the players in the NHL are from Canada.\nFrom that figure that there about equal amounts from the following regions A)Prairies + BC B) Ontario and C) Quebec with a small sprinkling of Atlantic Canadians (Like my favorite player Michale Ryder).\n\nSo say about 30% of 50% and I'd say that about 15% is a good estimate.
