Interesting stat--in 80-81 24% of the players in the NBA were white Americans. Now it is about 10%.

The only white American All-Star is Kevin Love, who was a last-second pick and is about as boring to watch as paint drying.

I guess you could argue that the European players have largely replaced white Americans.

Interesting, provocative article.
