The change from urban to suburban is more interesting to me.

You can basically track the rise of the black middle class in america
through the shift NBA player family origin.

Big urban cities have gone from a place where middle class and working class black people raise families.

To expensive playgrounds for the rich.


You can see it with Canadian prospects
A lot of the early Canadian basketball prospects
We're from Toronto proper.

Now they are a from the exurban cites around Toronto.
London, Hamilton ect

Montreal is relatively more affordable than Toronto so you still see guys from there
like Ben Mathurin


but I imagine that will change also.
My dawg Banton still from Toronto and playing for the home team, I know yo loving it :hat
 

This video cut off right before the best part

Umar picks up the phone and claims it got blown away by a gust of wind spent directly from Mama Oya to protect Umar from saying too much and getting himself in danger

Mans legit claimed the spirit world was trying to protect him from Adam Silver :lol:

Umar's videos belong in the Smithsonian
 
Seriously though the access thing IS a major deal in some sports in this country. Just don’t really think it’s basketball or football.

Hockey, soccer, baseball.

It's a major thing for those team sports in America besides Football outside of the QB position, a lot of higher income parents don't want their kids playing football due to the dangers of it so NFL still get a lot of the kids from the trenches outside of the QB position where you have to spend money for trainers starting at a young age for most of them that make it to the NFL
 
I know seeing Paolo Banchero parents was a massive upset. :lol:

How many black mom-white dad parents we got in the NBA?

Collegiate lacrosse is one of the best finesse affluent Northeastern white people ever pulled off

A ton of universities have teams, and they carry a lot of players, but there are a few hotbeds for the sport nationally. Your kid is good in one of those hotbeds, they are getting a scholarship.

So you get some of your investment back and you get the thing most important to affluent white parents. Bragging about what your kids is doing in college.

I think people running club teams caught on and started taxing the hell outta parents as a result. LAX coaches on the high school age club level look at these parents like...

And the best part about it is after spending all that money all they can do is go work at dads office since there is absolutely no future with lacrosse unless they’re cool with $35k a year max :lol
 
That’s hilarious tho.

Everybody from New York whenever they see someone who is possibly mixed but has a “different” name….

“He’s Dominican…” - that was so on brand shotsrangout shotsrangout :lol:

One of the dumbest and most clueless people I’ve ever known growing up. Played on the ball team for a few years with us but was also the LAX goalie for our HS.

He went to Princeton….

Full ride…. 😭
