About 25% of players aren't black and probably 80% of non-players aren't black. An all black league means he want most of the people involved with the league gone because of their skin tone.

Forget racism. The NBA should have different height classes like boxing has different weight classes. How friggin' difficult is it to place a ball slightly above eye level?!?

If the nba should be all black then nfl quarterbacks and head coaches in all leagues should all be white since most of the winning ones the last decade have been despite blacks having anout half of all coaching positions in the nba in that time frame. If i said that id be rakes through the coals but since its lil ol larry johnson he wont even be fired from his position with the knicks

Wow - I guess we can have all-black and all-white leagues. Maybe the winners can play for the all-race championship.

So should this guy be fired from the Knicks?
It's a stupid comment and an overreaction, but I don't see how you can fire him for expressing his opinion on something like this. He is not advocating any group being mistreated, he's just advocating segregation. It's dumb but again it's his opinion.

Wasn't the purpose of Jackie Robinson so that we STOP having leagues like that?

Someone should teach the highly UNLV educated Larry Johnson that.

Wow - rationalizing segregation which at its heart is considered one of the highest forms of mistreatment in United States history. Heaven forbid a white man ever tries to make this argument.
