Exactly. In fact, I'm only 25 years old but prefer to listen to Classic Rock from the 60's and Rap/R&B. I don't see how I identify with either of them culturally to tell you the truth. If you're going to make bold statements, at least have some reasoning to back them up.

Re: For those who are white-americans...

For what it's worth, there do seems to be an influx of white ballers coming along nowadays (haven't made it to the league yet), that can ball as well as the brothas. Some even have the cockiness and swagger of the black players.

<hr /></blockquote> how much hip hop music do you hear blasting from white kids in the suburbs? Are they are identifying with the hip hop culture or the content contained in the music. So much for that theory. They listen to rap music, BECAUSE THEY LIKE IT. If people like basketball, they will watch it no matter what. Like I said earlier, who do you see sitting courtside or right behind the bench. I'm not talking like NY or LA where you'll see celebrities. I'm talking Dallas, Memphis, Detroit, etc. Those are the big money corporate types buying those expensive seats.

How does it make him a thug? Ummm. I don't know, clotheslining mutliple people on their way to the rim, is what probably does it. It has nothing to do with him being black. Bill Laimbeer had the same issues, hard fouls/flagrant fouls and he was considered a thug in the NBA, and he's about as white as you can be. I know it's tough for you to understand, but there was an NBA before the year 1999.

Amen, my friend. IMO, the NBA hasn't suffered so much from expansion as they have from high school mega stars who can fly from the free throw line and jam with three hands but can't knock down a consistent 15 foot jumper.

Very good point.
