Subject: RE: BS: Basketball & Jazz: Obama's Comments
Correction:
dailykos "diary" [fwiw, a dailykos diary is almost like our threads but as far as I understand it, the first comment there {actually a comment/essay} is considered the diary and then the subsequent posts are made in response to that comment/essay]

Ebbie, the conversation about Black & White styles of playing basketball occurs at around 11:13 minutes in that video whose link I provided in my first post. Bryant Gumbel cites Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Charles Barkley as Black NBA players who played a "White style of basketball, and Jason Williams as a White player who played a Black style of basketball.

Btw, in addition to being Michelle Obama's brother, Craig Robinson is a noted university basketball coach.

I'm still looking for those quotes in that book I mentioned.
I'll post them shortly.
