Strike 5,962 Posted yesterday at 02:56 PM If Larry was black he'd be just another guy. Said that idiot Isiah Thomas. I love watching Jokic because he plays the game right, just like Larry. Larry is one of my favorite players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edjr 6,843 Posted yesterday at 03:21 PM 14 minutes ago, The Elevator Killer said: This is when I used to watch basketball. 1970s: Black players made up roughly 50% of the league, but that percentage rapidly increased in the late 1970s, rising to about 75% after the merger. 1980s: The percentage of white players was around 25%. 1990s: This trend continued, with the percentage of white players decreasing further, from just over 25% at the start of the decade to 20% by the end of the decade. Around 15% now. Racccissss focking league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Elevator Killer 698 Posted yesterday at 03:25 PM Well i stopped watching because when I watched it was more of a team sport. You could see plays develop. Not so much when I stopped watching. And really after watching Jordan, I mean how do you top a guy that could fly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thomas one of the best 6 foot and under guys in NBA history and those Bad Boys teams are my favorite of any teams in Detroit sports history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreeing with another racist comment doesn't make it any better. And I didn't mention Rodman because he's not in the same class as Bird or Thomas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In an era where defense and rebounding mattered, Rodman was one of the best at both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
