I re-watched a movie I have kept on Pete Maravich. I sent it to my grandson who is a sixth grader playing basketball on an 8th grade junior high team. He had to try out as did all the boys. He is on U-Tube. Its called "Ballers". Him and a friend do some wild stuff with basketball shots in the driveway at my daughter's home in Virginia Beach.
The kid can shoot.. The boys have a good following on Utube.
I know that there are more athletes who are non-white playing basketball and I think football as well. I do not know why. I never felt that the black students in my school were any better athleteticallythan I was or several other students who were ot white.
But you are correct about the proportion of kids playing..
I have no idea why that is...
