Do you guys feel that the European white athlete has it easier than that of an American home grown white athlete? Going through a site that projects possible selections in this year's NBA draft, i noticed that the word "athletic" or "great athlete" was used more freely for the European White athletes. Maybe im wrong, i would just like to know what you guys think.

Here's the link for the site i was browsing

I think there is some validity to your statement celtic. We've actually discussed this some before in the J.J. Redick threads and others as well in the college basketball section.
 
White American kids get coached into certain roles that limit what
athleticism they might have -- largely catch-and-shoot specialist. In
Europe, they have to do everything.
