How is this garbage a sport? It's all about height and luck. You literally just chuck a ball up in the air and hope it goes on the hoop.

Then how come some dudes are consistently luckier than others?

Literally most sports if you want to boil it down that much, you dope.

>How is this garbage a sport? It's all about (athletic or genetic advantage that gives one a better chance in the sport) and luck. You literally just chuck a (punch, kick, throw, etc.) a (fist, a kick, a ball) up in the air and hope it goes on the (face/body/goal/net).

how come this sport is so disproportionately in favor of a race that is statistically taller than all the others?
>>
>>75532313
Only poor people play it

>>75532313
Statistically the tallest people are northern Europeans.

How is football a sport? You literally just throw or hand off the ball and hope they get lucky and run far.

How is baseball a sport? You literally just swing and hope you hit the ball.

How is hockey a sport? You literally just chase the puck down and hope it goes in the net.

Because you imported the strongest slaves over you ignorant cracker

that's my point, this sport lends itself to natural born athleticism rather than any developed skill. there's actually a very simple technique in getting the ball through the net, the only problem is that during games there's a 6'7" tribal trying to knock the ball out of your hands.

One of the tallest black players is currently being outplayed in the playoffs by an equally tall Polish guy. Being tall doesn't stop you from being a pussy. There is also an under 6 ft guard scoring 30 on multiple nights, not only on jumpers.

Lmao this dude mad as fuck that he didn't get picked up in a pick up game

Every sport favors a certain trait (football: speed, basketball: height, gymnastics: height (or a lack of one that is) etc.
Putting a ball through the hoop isn't hard, but putting the ball through the hoop so consistently is. I mean there's a reason Americans BTFO other nations in international basketball tournaments, they don't fucking miss. And to achieve that level you need A LOT of practice. And that's just shooting the ball through the hoop from various angles. Now add other tall blokes trying to steal the ball from you to the play and it gets even more difficult.

>>75532712
not being a pussy and having natural born agility aren't developed skills.

The shittest player in the NBA earns more in a month than you do in a year.
>>
>>75532403
Not entirely but you're on the right track. Basketball here is like soccer in third world countries, it's the sport of the poor.

Nigs are more suited for it but the reason it's so disproportionate is because it's a part of hood culture.
>>
>>75531699
None of the American "sports" are really sports.
>>
It's more of a reality show than a sport. Pretty pathetic desu.
>>
>>75531699
WAAAA IT'S NOT FAIR. HOW COME I'M AN AUTISTIC LOSER AND EVERYONE ELSE ACTUALLY PUT IN THE EFFORT TO SUCCEED AT SOMETHING

It's not a fucking sport.

>>75532313
They aren't really the tallest
>>75533762
Football is really the poorest sport. To play basketball professionally you pretty much had to play for an AAU team which means you aren't the poorest of the poor. Football is for the people who literally would be gangbanging if their high school didn't have a football team.

>>75534288
note how none of those guys in this webm made it as pros or even as college players because they failed to develop skills
>>
>>75534288
Did any of these dudes even make it? The only guy whose name was posted went undrafted

spot the manlet

>>75532313
they have larger standard deviation, but shorter average height than white men. They also have more midgets

This actually isn't true anymore. NBA players predominately come from middle or upper class families.
