"The NBA publicly announces the voters each year and after review, it's clear the panel is much more diverse than what was portrayed by Kendrick Perkins and we wanted to make sure that we corrected that today." -Molly Qerim (via @ESPNNBA)
@ClutchpointsApp @ESPNNBA The NBA is roughly 73% black, even though the population of the US is only roughly 14% black…so obviously there’s a bias against white players making it to the NBA. Wait no that’s obv ridiculous. But that’s sort of the same argument Perk was using here. SMH
@georgeh1981 @ClutchpointsApp @ESPNNBA Obv making NBA is talent based. The same goes to coaching, executives, media etc. Can’t have one argument without the other.
@RussellLea7 @ClutchpointsApp @ESPNNBA Okay so journalism isn’t talent based? Got it. Everything (including who the goat is, who the best players are) is to some degree subjective.
