I was watching a game the other day and I noticed something odd. The European white players seem to be more muscular then then the US white players. I know it would be hard to verify something like that but I noticed it because (and this is also very odd) the US blacks seem to be more muscular then foreign black players. And this seems to hold true for many sports besides basketball.

If true (you can post your opinions) why?

I think maybe the best athletes in Europe are encouraged to play basketball while good white athletes are discouraged here.

Also maybe Americans are flabbier then foreign people although almost all athletes lift weights nowadays.

For blacks, US blacks seem more muscular then other blacks maybe due to a selection process that occurred when they were, um, brought over here?

Whatdaya think?

When it comes to strength and power, looks can often
be deceiving Jaxvid. However, I think I know why European whites
may be stronger.

In America, whites are generally confined to being a passer/three point
shooter. The muscle roles go to blacks. In Europe, this
does not hold.



As for the blacks, I cannot say.

Now that you mention it the white European players, at least the ones I've seen in their pro leagues do seem on average to be more muscular than their American counterparts. As for black Americans, their heavier musculature stems most probably, from the fact that most slaves sent to the New World were from West Africa. From areas that are now countries such as Nigeria and Uganda. There are quite obvious physical differences between West and East Africans. Just compare the average Ethiopian(Haile Gebrselassie) with a Nigerian(Christian Okoye).

Whites are big it's just that there's not many in the nba. Make the league 50/50 and you will see more big one's.


kamen, miller, lampe, drobnjak, araujo, mihm, songaila, ostertag(gotten fat), tsakalidis, bonner, etcetc


This guy Kaspars kambala is supposedto come over next year with javtokas. Kambala is a beast. About 6'10(in shoes) andclose to 300 lbs.


There's been pastbig men in the nba. Someone on here mentioned mark eaton, arvydas sabonis, etc. Those guys were both about 7'4 and 300+ lbs.


in europe you've got some very massive people but they don't all come to the nba for all types of reasons. I read about a few that are huge. Alexander kuehl(german) who is 7'2 and 325+. Robert Gulyas(hungary) 7'1 340+.


There are big people everywhere, it's a matter of politics and not offending black players in this country. Many teams and orgs are owned by jews and liberal people so it's a p.c. league.

Tom Guggliotta is probably the most jacked white American
player. As far as strength, I've read that Dan Marely had the
highest bench press in the NBA during his playing days.
