There is truth in what this man is saying. He is just indirectly telling the black race to stop playing the race card all the time when things don't go there way.

Truly if it was an all white team, blacks will be crying racism everywhere by now, even the ones in 9ja that it is not even their biz.

But wait, how this news take concern Nigerians sef? All of una way de typ heaven n hell, una no fit mention two persons for 9ja B-ball team o

I watch some NBA basketball matches, I can say the best guys are all black guys. Why didn't freeze mention any white superstar that was left behind? NBA is dominated by black guys.

This guy is daft. Basketball clubs don't just go out there scouting for black players, they select the best available players during the draft ceremonies and during trade season. Go to most urban mostly black neighborhoods and you will see many black kids playing one of two sports, basketball or American football. So it is not by design that all the American basketball team players heading to Rio are black, that's just how much basketball has changed since the days of Larry Bird.
Now when you talk about Ice Hockey it is still a predominantly white sport, and that's not racism either, it just so happens that black kids don't have access to ice rims and many would rather participate in b-ball or American football. Although that is slowly changing, some of the best players in the NHL are blacks, if this trend continues, black people may dominate ice hockey in 30years.

The black race is naturally gifted and very athletic in nature. We will continue to dominate the sport world, freeze needs to stop talking rubbish.
Thanks for educating him and some other individuals. Some Of these posts.......

He has a point there. If it had been an all white squad, people will call for the coach's head. I don't believe that there's no white dude in the states that is good enough to make that squad...then again, do I know more than the coach? #2cents
there isn't. black men are only good for entertainment purposes unfortunately

The guy still has a point, the coach could still find a good white player to put on the team , but he chose not to do so, no body walking on street shouting racism. if the reverse is the case al shapton, Jesse Jackson and co. will be on the street, race hustling. And Obama will be busy giving speeches left right and center.

Who the cap fits let him wear it, the coach decided to select more than 90% black players ,white supports him, but don't tell me there are no good white players out there, cause I won't buy that argument .(Steven Adams was red hot for the thunder this season , he deserves a spot on that team )matter of fact black players are just now learning how to play by FIBA rules . Yugoslavia have won FIBA gold just as much as USA and their team comprises of mostly whites, if they can't play I wonder how they won, so did Spain, Argentina and a couple of other white majority countries that have taken the tittle.

The coach chose the players he can work with, that is understandable, ]and white america is okay with it, that's commendable, but that whites can't play basketball is false, cause they have won more international championships than blacks.

If we are to critically dig into history as relates to present, we will fast realize that cury is neither white nor black, he is a mulatto. Calling him black or white is a misrepresentation of his race.

Nobody said white Americans can't play basketball. Kevin Love is white and he's a very good player. He was added to the roster as far back as January but he didn't make the 12 player roster because the other players are just too damn good. There's no affirmative action in sports, teams are crafted based on talent and nothing else. I personally would've loved to see a white player in the team to show that there's some kind of diversity but it just didn't happen. I can bet you if they added Steve Adams like you said, it will be a glaring disrespect to the other great black players who they would've cut off the roster like Andre Iguodala and Dwight Howard. Then you will hear people say oh they just added that one white guy to save face.

Good point buh when a black guy kills a white man that's not a racist kill? How many white man hxave died in the hands of blackmen buh u don't see them scream racism cos to them it's a crime and not a race issue.




Know your history man. When a black man kills a white man, its not racism at all, its defending yourself against the oppressor. Racism is only one way. Some people call it reverse-racism when blacks attack whites, the intellectuals refer to it as 'justice'.

There are no component problems when these things happens. The only problem is, when whites kills blacks, it always racially motivated, but not always so the other way round.

There is only one race...the human race. And when defining what a human is, it always stem with a perfection of an unblemish figure..white. Why do you think everything bad is always labelled as black?

When you're in debt and bankcrupt...you're in the black. When there is a big hole anywhere, its called the black hole. 'good' angels are white and 'bad' ones are black. A special bargain day that happens on fridays is actually a good deal day but because of the nature of violence asscoiate with it, the term 'Black Friday' was preffered. White ice is good but black ice is bad. Black cats brings bad luck. The night is dark and something is always lurking, but morning is bright and white.

The dehumanization of blacks by white folks is done intentionally to ridicule, control and subject blacks to harsh and unpleasant experience

Seriously, do blacks really dominate the sport world? The last time I checked no black nation has ever won the Olympics, Commonwealth games, the senior world cup and many other major sport meets around the globe. Even in Tennis, apart from the Williams sisters no black man or woman is anywhere near the top of the ATP wseeorld rankings. So my brother u see the facts on ground don't seem to tally with ur assertion. Europe, America and Asia still DOMINATE the sport world, at least for now. We Africans ( Blacks) have a lot of catching up to do!
Have a lovely day bro!

yep that what I mean by too big


The biggest players always opt out of the olympics, they don't consider it worthy.

The only year they could arrange all the top stars of the NBA was the 1992 dream team... that team won FLAWLESSLY. beating teams with 40+ points cheesy per match from the first match to the final.

in their first game vs Angola the first half ended 41-1... and the 1 was a freethrow grin... pure bullying.

It is safe to say blacks dominate basketball worldwide.



that team you are seeing are college players not NBA self

Squad without, Steph Curry, Lebron James and D. Wade is boring. That's my concern
All those guys you mentioned and a whole lot more opted out of the team. Guys like James harden, Anthony Davis etc. The only white guys that could have made this team is Mason Plumlee but the two centre's here are better than him. ie cousins and Jordan.

Are you being sarcastic? By calling them college players? 2012 olympics team was probably the best after 1992 dream team. It had lebron, wade, kobe, harden Melo, Durant, CP3, and a whole bunch of super stars and they did beat teams silly save for Spain who where quite talented

Forget Freeze. He had a brain Freeze moment when he posted this crap. The decision for the US team not to include both Stephen Curry and LeBron is ridiculous. Each one alone can contribute a great deal to the sucess of the team, and both together?. Come on. BIG MISTAKE for them been left out.
They weren't left out, they opted out.
