Iv never frozen anyone out for a dumb reason like this. I wait until I realize the dude sucks before I do such a thing but.......
And don’t get upset but from all my years of playing Park, Walk on and etc. It does seem like white dudes are more likely to be notorious ball-hog than others.
I’m not being funny and I’m not joking at all. Iv heard this racism as well but at least in my personal experience it holds true.
But don’t think your crazy or it’s an isolated event because white ppl do get frozen out. Iv been in a couple games where a white dude pulls one bad shot and guys on the mic go OFF on him with stuff like “See this is why I don’t like when white dudes hop on” or “This GD scrub thinks he’s Gordon Hayward omg!”
Others may not tell you their experience because they scared of coming off as racist or silly but I don’t give a crap. Multiple times a year I find myself asking “Jesus what the hell is that white dude doing?” Like it’s different when a dude is just horrible at the game and ball-hogging but when a guy is flat out screwing the team you can tell. And at least from my personal experience it does seem that a good number of the more notorious ball-hogs are white. Take that how you want it but this is coming from a dude with no reason to make stuff up or exaggerate.

I don't take that from a malicious standpoint at all. I figured it was all typical stigma from the obvious racial difference in the league itself. People use silly tropes ala "White Men Can't Jump", and use it to justify stuff in game context in the same way they see curry hit a crazy stepback 3 IRL to justify attempting it in game.
It's silly, but c'est la vie. I end up with a good grade regardless because I'll adapt and get mine eventually.
From experience I've found the guys that hog the ball tend to just be PG archetypes in general. Most made a PG so they always have the ball in career. You can always tell by the types of passes they make when they do pass. Is it out of necessity, or were they looking for it? Tends to be mostly out of necessity.
That being said, I'll have games where I'm flat out "brain neutral". Or the defense just doesn't do what I predicted every time I make a move. Or I just go flat out cold from the field. We all do. But I just want to be involved somehow, I don't need buckets, I showed up for the W, ya know?
