    Could be. You can rub it in my face if there is ever an American born white center drafted in the lottery that is above average

    Doesn't it have something to do with twitch muscles and achilles tendons?

    This reminds me of a funny time when we convinced our not too bright of a friend that black men ran fast because they had an extra muscle in their legs. Good times.

    well, like i said its a touchy subject, but

    its kinda common sense, for hundreds of years in america black people were bred specifically for their muscle strength, height and endurance

    now heres the REAL touchy subject

    if they were smart they were killed

    So that's why there are no smart black people? I wonder if back int he day, the Asian community killed all of the good drivers?

    nothing is absolute, and any assumptions you surmise from the data are on you

    Haha, Damn, MM you keep beating that dead horse.

    I caught a great conversation the other day on the whole "no good white centers" arguement. Several points that I found valid.

    One was that there were far fewer white players, and even less at that position.

    The seconed was that the traditional 6 10 or 6 11 guy no longer wants to play the five, it is far more favorable to play a PF or strech four, and not get beat on night in and night out. To play the back to the hoop style is the most demanding both mentally and physicaly.

    They went on with some other stuff, but these were the main things that i took away from the conversation.

    So is there anything to read into the fact that Hibbert, his agent, Indiana or the Blazers have said he has agreed to the offer sheet?

    1. Has he not agreed and is just thinking about it?

    2. Has he agreed, but Olshey has invoked his shroud of secrecy rule?

    Breathe deep the gathering gloom
    Watch Hibbert fade from every room
    Bedsitter people look back and lament
    Another day's useless energy spent

    Impassioned posters wrestle as one
    MickZagger cries for Love and has none
    Mrs. HCP picks up and suckles everyone
    El Presidente does not want to go young

    Cold hearted KP that rules the night
    Removes Hibbert from our sight
    Red and black and silver and white
    But we decide which is right
    And which is an illusion?
