Is there a caste system in the NBA ?

The NBA is even darker than the NFL. I notice some White players but they're usually either foreign, big men, or unathletic spot up shooters. You never see any athletic scoring White point guards like Chris Paul or Derrick Rose. And you never see any athletic Whtie shooting guards or small forwards like Kobe Bryant or LeBron James. A strange thing I also noticed is that there are White players who get picked high in the draft like JJ redd*ck, Adam morrison, Jimmer, etc.

After joining this site I learned the truth about the caste system in football and how White players are just as good, if not better than black players, but are systematically discriminated against. Is basketball the same ? Or are blacks actually better than Whites at this one sport ? I've been a basketball fan for a long time so I'd really like to know.

I'm not a huge b-ball fan but all-white teams from Europe and South America routinely beat all-black or mostly black teams from the U.S. in international competitions.

Also, the success of majority-white Duke seems to indicate that when whites are given the chance they can beat blacks in basketball.

I know a guy who was a great basketball player in high school and even was picked to play on an AAU team. But he was the only white guy on the team and couldn't stand being around blacks all the time so he moved to another sport.
