Interesting subject, Azizi. I used to watch a great deal of basketball- first because my (ex)husband was so involved in it and later the NBA.
I am curious about the White/Black styles of playing. I do remember one Black basketball player who admitted ruefully in an interview that he had White Man's Disease: Can't jump worth a darn. lol
I had never thought about or identified racial differences in styles of playing. Do you happen to remember any names that Gumbel mentioned?
