All I see is a lot of over generalizations. While the international game may still be a little different than the US game, the distinction between American black and white basketball” isn't nearly as clear cut as he makes it out to be. For that matter, foreign players are much closer in style to Americans than they once were. Manu Ginobli, for example, doesn’t have a typical foreign game.
The reason that our international teams keep struggling is that we won’t put any pure shooters on the team, while the Euro teams are filled with them. The Euro guards keep getting better, and our decided advantage in the paint is lessened by the fact that our bigs start further from the basket when they’re down low. That has nothing to do with black or white basketball.

Even the black guys like Lionel Hollins, Mo Lucas, Johnny Davis, Lloyd Neal played disciplined, unselfish white basketball.

So if you play "black basketball" you're selfish and undisciplined, and if a black player happens to play with discipline, he's playing "white basketball". Ok, so Wally plays black basketball while Jason Kidd's unselfishness comes from his white half...and Magic Johnson played "white basketball" his whole career"
