Because most NBA GM's and coaches don't think street ballers can cut it playing organized basketball, so they don't even give them a chance.  They thinking that if that guy on the street is really that good then why ain't he go to college, or why didn't he just go over seas or something.  Its a form of stereotyping.

The game keeps evolving in the sense that the people that dominate it change.  The game was once all white, and that changed, black players started to take over, and although this is a generalization and not true in all instances, they are more athletic.  Today, we have foreign players beginning to make an impact, and that is because they are sharp on fundamentals.\n\nI think talent must be taken on a case by case basis.  But you also have to look at culture, for a poor child the NBA is a dream, for a well off child they may have other options.  Hence the effort they put into developing skill will vary.\n\nNot to mention the way a game plan may be drawn up, certain players may not get the chance to show how talented they are, white or black.\n\nIt is hard to draw a line at just race, I think culture, talent, etc.. have to be considered.

Not just non caucasion....black men and those who wish they were. Yes, it is a very popular "pose" here as well. I dont think it is that they are holding their goods. It is that they are holding their pants up. They wear them so low that they have to keep them up somehow, and by holding their crotch, they can keep their pants from falling to their knees and maintaining a studly stance. It serves a function as well as fashion. Lol!!!!!

As a black woman I have to honestly say that it mainly has to do with attitude.  Black women are notoriously famous for having "bitchy" attitudes.  We are quick to dis a brother when he approaches, snap when he gets upset because we rubbed him off.  We walk around like we are shit instead of being humble and grateful.  We are also pegged as gold diggers.  We crave more.  We will pass up a good man with a standard income to find the bling-bling daddy.  Black men have become fed up with this attitude and seek women who are more appreciative and considerate.

Many black girls have been blessed with a curvacious figure and the ability to use it (dancing). There is nothing wrong with that, its a blessing not a curse.

Hip-hop culture definitely had an amazing affect on the game. It used to be about winning and winning only. Now it's half about just being flashy. It's not necessarily a bad thing though in my opinion. It's part of what makes the game fun to play (if you have skills) and fun to watch. I think black players such as LeBron James don't NEED fundamentals. They're so athletically gifted it really doesn't matter. White players have a tendency to be less athletically gifted. So they have to learn some fundamentals to exploit themselves to their full potential. I'm not trying to be racist but it's true. I don't really think white players are dominating the NBA either I think you might need to rephrase that...

Man, You actually asked several questions. Speed, agility, and, athleticism has something to do with mostly black NFL Running Backs, and, Wide Recievers, and defensive backs. All of the positions rely on mobility......speed, quickness, and, athleticism. Name your top 10 rb's, your top 10 wr's, your top 10 cb's, or, even your top 10 players period, past or present. The overwhelming majority are most likely black. Look at the stat leaders, again, past or present---matters not, unless, you are looking at the QB position. In the case of QB, society dictated the thought that a black person lacked the intelligence to be a leader, but, if you really examine the numbers, you'll see that guys like Randall Cunningham and Warren Moon were just as good, if not better than whomever they  opposed when they played. The quarterback issue has been a slow changing process, much like the coaching issue in the NFL. I have seen a few black punters/ kickers, in the league. The most natoable being  Reggie Roby. He was a full-time punter. Reggie Roby, was a longtime punter for the Miami Dolphins, when they were worth watching.

When people think of black people, they think about the majority of blacks they have seen in person or in the media: they are ghetto, loud, rude, use slang, act hard, etc.\n\nThese are the images that are out there in the mainstream. These are the people that some see when they go to the mall or to the movies. They see blacks being loud and talking on the cell while people are trying to watch the movie. They see blacks speaking heavy ghetto slang and wearing clothing that hangs below their butts.\n\nWhen they see a black who does not fit that stereotype, they see that as an except and not as the norm. They see that as a black, trying not to be "black". They have a hard time understanding that there are different classes and types of blacks and that being black does not mean just acting one type of way. They just see someone not following the norm or trying to be "white".

I'm a black woman and I do believe that black professional athletes are more athletic naturally. And not to make lite of this, but my opinion on why this is, it's because we're just use to running! Running from the police, running from police dogs, running in the jungles, running track, boxing: we had to fight pretty much all our lives; basketball, we had to hide in trees so we had to have that reach to climb; baseball; we had to pick up weapon to keep sh!t off our backs. Now I'm not writing this to make lite of this issue. This sh!t is true. I lived it; done it and seen it pretty much all of my life! So whether you're black or not, if  you haven't been raised in my neighborhood please do not speak on my comment!

no because the bones of black people are more dense than other nationalities, therefore it takes more effort to get them moving.....more power to be faster..

The same reason when people see im black they assume i'm good at basketball, steal, carry a weapon, have rythem, and eat fried chicken and watermelon. \nThe whole worlds a stage and we all have our parts to plasy, token white boy, violent black boy, smart asian, illegal hispanic, terroist middle eastern, and drunk russians. Its all crap, its all racist, and it will always exist.

I am with you on the younger players.The NBA fan of today has the media to thank for hyping all the young guys in the NBA.Back in the day,You actually had to go to games to see the stars then as there was no such thing as ESPN,etc,etc.The younger generation get all jacked up over someone who can dunk a basketball,or score 81 points in a game,Big deal.What they dont get is that B-Ball is a TEAM Sport,not an individual one.All of the "Old School" guys had to pay their dues because they were'nt subject to the World Wide Media Frenzy we have today.I will say that in my opinion for what its worth that Oscar Robertson was the best all-around player ever.The man averaged a Triple-Double for his Entire career.Kobe in all his greatness,or self-appointed greatness as it were,Will never be the player of Oscars caliber.I know I'll probably hear it from Laker Fans,but Tell me how many Rings he has since Shaq Smartened up?Zero,and will be the same amount untill he gets the Team concept which will never happen.All for now,good question by the asker.

black people love life, they love to have a good time, and they love to laugh, some of the best comedians are black people. They love to be heard, and get loud too. But black people are not loud all the time. only when they get together with their friends, and they want to make sure that everyone knows that they are proud and loud about it. They love to listen to loud rap music, not all of them, but most, because the louder your bump, the better your rap, the more attention you get, and black people love to be the center of attention.
