Comments on: Scalabrine: NBA Doubters “Definitely Race-Driven” http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/brian-scalabrine-majority-of-nba-fans-are-racist-16043 Celebrity sports gossip since 2001 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 15:40:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: homerj312 http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/brian-scalabrine-majority-of-nba-fans-are-racist-16043#comment-212 homerj312 Sat, 16 Feb 2008 18:37:34 +0000 http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/brian-scalabrine-majority-of-nba-fans-are-racist-16043#comment-212 I'm getting so sick of these idiotic rants about NBA basketball. NBA regular season games may be fairly meaningless but college basketball games are even less so. The college basketball playoff is a 64 team single elimination tournament, how could the regular season mean any less. Stories like these don't mean to be racist but they are. Saying that execution of fundamentals is at an all time low is just a uninformed broad statement because people think black players without college experience can't have good fundamentals. With players like Tim Duncan, Ray Allen, Steve Nash, Lebron James, etc. there are a ton of great players with excellent fundamentals that can make amazing plays as well. Of course there are athletic players in the NBA that have poor fundamentals but these players suck and end up getting shown up for what they really are. To succeed in the NBA you have to have good fundamentals. Just because all ESPN shows are dunks doesn't mean that for the other 47 min of a game these guys are making sloppy plays and turning the ball over all the time. Kobe Bryant is a great fundamental basketball player but unless you watch a full game you would have no idea that he is. I’m getting so sick of these idiotic rants about NBA basketball.
