a feature on the trials and tribulations of the american born white baller. an excerpt:
"The reason for this feature is simple. I love basketball, and one of the things I love most about it is that it is as diverse as any sport - with players from about 70 different countries and Americans with backgrounds from all across the country - all bringing unique styles and culture to the game.
Well, right now, the part of the NBA puzzle that represents my demographic is sucking it up pretty badly. To the point that the best American-born white player ever, Larry Bird, has gone so far as to say "As far as playing, I didn't care who guarded me -red, yellow, black. I just didn't want a white guy guarding me, because it's disrespect to my game." Thanks Larry, Wally Szczerbiak and I appreciate it."
