Somebody must have reminded them that (1) you don't play then there are no games and ........you're out of a job...at least out of a job here in the "bad" old United States of America. (2) 67% of the viewership of NBA games are minorities.........so basically 2/3rds of the people being "deprived" of their talents are their own. I'd love to know how many of these guys actually put any time and/or money into programs, schools, activities, etc. that benefit the black community. Sure, there are a few well known, but across the board I wonder how many actually put any skin into the game?
