It would make an interesting thought experiment, to illustrate the value of diversity! Think of it: limiting the choice of players like that would result in a sub-optimal league. Imagine a super-championship game between the NBA champs and the All-White champs. It would be painful to watch!

I would be interested in knowing if anyones reaction (whether it be positive or negative) would differ any from their reaction to hearing that there was an all black basketball league in the works.

Or all Asian.

Or all Indian?

Here's a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like."
Lewis said he wants to emphasize fundamental basketball instead of "street-ball" played by "people of color."

ROFL !!!

Will be as exciting as watching an all black croquet league..

That statements contains elements of pre-judgement toward all sides involved.

Well at least you're an equal opportunity pre-judger.

Valid points to ponder. And, I don't really know why, and I can't logically justify it, but I find an all-white something more distasteful than all-anything-else something.
