I used to love the NBA....I loved Robert Parrish, Willis Reed, Walt Frazier, not because of their race..but how they played the game. The NBA always has been a black dominated sport...compare those players to Allen Iverson, Artest, Shaq....I have lost all interest in the NBA. Is there in fact an theme theme here about socioeconomics and where you came from?, maybe. Its a black sport attend by whites, owned by whites. There are so many cultural differences. I prefer to be a season ticket holder for our local college, ODU.
