lebatard gets a bad rep simply because he refuses to worship athletes and whatever prestige organizations shove into ppls faces...he's a legit sports commentator and if you want pukey sports radio then turn on mike and mike...lebatard keeps it real
I dont understand how anyone can rip lebatard on this one. what is he saying that is so wrong? he is 100% correct on this one. there hasnt been a great white american player in the NBA for a while now. that is a fact. bilas is a clown. lebatard made perfectly reasonable questions, but bilas is afraid of hearing the truth.
Lebetard who is Cuban was 100% right on Hansboro. Billis' phony outrage makes me sick. Im white but I bet more black people respect Lebetard for being real than Billis's fake liberal outrage.
Bilas is an uptight punk. I enjoy Lebatard but I admit that he pushes the race thing a little too hard, but in this instance he wasn't completely off base and Bilas came off like a huge phony dork. It's like Joe Buck, he's got a great announcer voice but utterly uninteresting and if you go out of the 'box' they're lost.
It's a great point he makes. The answer is pretty obvious, albeit Bilas doesn't have the guts to discuss it. The Europeans are taught many other skills besides post play early on. But stick a white guy American in the NBA, he doesn't know anything about the other aspects of basketball, because the moment the high schools and colleges notice the kid is tall, they simply plop him into the post. The white guy American is always going to be at a major disadvantage. I wouldn't draft one.
You can't say LeBatard is a waste of a radio host just because he asks thought-provoking questions. What do you want from him? Ask "just how great is North Carolina" and other banal questions? Really, come on. LeBatard is one of the best radio talk show hosts out there right now.
@worldshiro Thought-provoking? He's a cunt just like so many other sports "personalities" and he only gets away with spouting ignorant shit because he's constantly reminding people that he's "Cuban." But you can be Cuban and white, like Fidel Castro, whose family immigrated from Galicia in Spain, for fuck's sake. That's just as white as any other European. Having parents from Cuba doesn't make you a minority by default.
Race baiting isn't "thought provoking," it's just ignorant.
lol, putting aside the fact that bilas wasn't prepared for that kind of question or was caught off guards, a reasonable, understanding person would of not studdered so badly when asked the questioned, bilas screwed up showed us his true colors, another issue is the way he sounds when he is confronted harshly, he sounds like he was going to say a racial remark toward dan.
dan did ask van gundy the same question and Stan had no problem.
He asked Stan Van Gundy the same question and Van Gundy had no problem giving an intelligent answer pointing out how basketball players in Europe are developed differently than players here in the US.
Bilas just was scared of the question because he actually had to think intelligently to give an answer, rather than offering up the same cliched analysis that is normally given.
And about the Michael Phelps interview . . . I guess we now know why Phelps was so uptight.
Dan ownded Micheal Phelps an olympic gold medalist and now Jay Bilas. He is the best at getting people to act like the douchebags they really are. Thanx to Dan I know that Micheal Phelps is nothing more than a guy who wakes up, eats, swims, and goes to bed in his Kelloggs pajamas.
and the phelps interview wasnt bad, at all, it was just phelps on his high(no pun ) horse.. his questions were funny as hell, phelps just overreacted.. some athletes woulda had fun with that question and questions he asked michael.
Dan LeBatard is the sh!t. He talks about the things in sports that are more than random athletic acts. He talks about things behind the sports that make you laugh and make you think. To the guy that says "if Dan had his own show no one would listen" Dan has his own show and it's the 2nd most popular show in South Florida. That's including AM/FM, and all genres; sports, political, music, morning talk, everything. By the way Dan himself would say that "success doesn't mean quality" anyway.
i love the dan le batard show ! it really has nothing to do with sports but it kinda does. know what i mean. if you are a loyal listener of 790 and his show u know what i mean. i love 790 from sid all the way down to lebby and i do enjoy when stugots is hosting.
This guy is such an asshole. How this guy has a job is unbelievable. He has no talent and is nothing more than a fat piece of shit. How has he not gotten his ass kicked yet?
le batard what a fucking name heard his interview with michael phelps batard berated phelps for no reason batards an idiot un American asswipe its just a matter of time before his big mouth gets his scrawney ass fired, then the people he treated like dirt are going to eat his flesh. tic toc tictoc
The movie "White Men Can't Jump" is a sterotype, but it holds true for the most part.
There is that feeling that OVERALL...GENERALLY SPEAKING (NOT ALWAYS, MIND YOU, BUT IN MOST CASES) THAT BLACK PLAYERS ARE JUST BETTER IN BASKETBALL THAN WHITE PLAYERS.
And, Le Batard is probably correct. If Beasely was white, he may not be regarded as high of a draft choice.
Le Batard is so right on this! If someone here can name the last great white American player, I'll call Le Batard stupid. It's Stockton! There has been TWO such players to even play in the All-Star game (Brad Miller and Szczerbiak), and neither is anything close to a great player!
So yes, possibly for that reason, there is at least the perception that white Americans are inferior, and it's not crazy to think that could e applied in the draft.
What kind of stupid question is that? "If Michael Beasley were white..." Dan Lebatard is a huge moron. No surprise here that the lawyer Bilas here makes the moron look like...well, a moron.
Yep LeBatard proves once again that he's a tool! He does a great job at this whenever he fills in on PTI also. He and Skip Bayless, the other finalist for "America's Biggest Loser/Douche" should have their own show! No one would ever watch/listen and that'd be awesome!
Bilas refused to be race baited by Le Batard. Le Batard was trying to be controversial and Bilas refused to participate. Who cares who the best white palyer in the NBA is?
Le Batard point was stupid as Jay pointed it out, you cannot make this case about race when the last 3 MVP have gone to white players; then he makes this a white American issue. What is the genetic difference between a caucasian American and a Caucasian European? It was a moronic logic, cuz you cannot make it racial, then national. It is just stupid.
This is just another example of the ignorance and stupidity that overwhelms the hack knows as Da Le Batard. He has spewed his ignorance without recourse up until now.
Kudo Jay Bilas for giving that ignorant hate monger his due....
Le Batard's argument is wrong. GM's judge NBA prospects on their athleticism and talent w/o looking at race. However they do think about race when it comes to marketing/ticket sales, etc.
In other words, if you're the GM of the Utah Jazz and you have two players in front of you and they have identical performance stats, but one is white and the other is black -- you're going to pick the guy who will be revered in your market.
Bilas didn't want to touch the argument with a 10ft pole.
Dan LeBetard's "logic" was going nowhere. And who says Tyler isn't athletic enough for the NBA? This dude does 360s on breakaways. He's smallish for his position, not a reliable enough jumpshooter, and all that throw yourself into defenders and go to the ft line 1000 times won't work in the league. He can have a Malik Rose-Eddie Najera- Mark Madsen type impact. Best case: somewhere between Kris Humphries and Udonis Haslem.
It is stupid, we all know by now that if you are caucasian, and want to play professional basketball in the NBA, the odds are severly stacked against you, and it does simply come down to athleticism, or the lack of said athleticism. End of discussion.
Yet the PC crowd is always trying to get more black coaches, especially in the NFL, when it comes down to genetically given intelligence, or the lack of genetically given intelligence.

It's startling how uptight and uneasy people become when you discuss race issues.
Le Batard gets a really bad repuation for his silly nature..HOWEVER, he asks really good questions, makes you think and laugh at the same time.
The fact IS that there is not a GREAT American white player in the NBA right now...face the facts.
Does that mean that they won't be again? No...but it's a good point and should be taken into consideration as to why that is.
