Quote :

"The Augusta Chronicle is reporting that an all-white basketball league named the ‘All-American Basketball Alliance’ (AABA) is attempting to establish a team in Augusta, GA. Any wonder if the founders of this league realize the world is laughing at them? “Don ‘Moose’ Lewis, the commissioner of the AABA, said the reasoning behind the league’s roster restrictions is not racism. ‘There’s nothing hatred about what we’re doing,’ he said. ‘I don’t hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now. 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.’ He pointed out recent incidents in the NBA, including Gilbert Arenas’ indefinite suspension after bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room, as examples of fans’ dissatisfaction with the way current professional sports are run. ‘Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?’ he said. ‘That’s the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction.’”"

It would be boring as shit, but I'm sure some of you people on here would support it if it wouldn't get your ass kicked.

This is going to end well.

they would only let mike bibby play in the 1st and 3rd quarters of games

1/20/2010 6:22:08 PM

so its really the KKKBA

1/20/2010 6:22:39 PM

This idea is on the same level as a jump to conclusions mat.

1/20/2010 6:23:54 PM

i'll bet some of the NBA haters would love this shit

i'm pretty sure if they could run as fast and jump as high as the pros, they'd play the exact same way

1/20/2010 6:41:34 PM

lots of three balls, fundamentals & effort

1/20/2010 6:43:24 PM

^kinda like Duke

1/20/2010 7:16:43 PM

sounds like women's basketball

1/20/2010 7:18:31 PM

or grabbing their crotch?

1/20/2010 8:00:32 PM

It would be kind of like women's basketball, where the only thing you see on the highlight reel is a bunch of layups.

No truth to the rumor that the Indiana Pacers are trying to defect to the AABA

1/21/2010 10:07:39 AM

^ I, too, listen to Packman.


If it's all white, it's all right.

I don't see why people are complaining. Just let them do what they want. If no one wants to join or watch it, then they'll fail. Who cares?

1/21/2010 12:46:39 PM

^ i don't think people are complaining, i think people are pointing out the obvious - that this league will suck and the idea is complete lunacy. I think its funny that the commissioner says "race has nothing to do with it", yet they don't allow black players...wonder if he'd let the birdman in this league??

1/21/2010 2:46:38 PM

isn't this just a all white guy version of the WNBA?

That's actually really funny. When my uncle Tim was at the University of Missouri he was on the golf team and lived in one of the "athlete dorms" with a bunch of the basketball players. Sometimes the basketball team and their buddies would get together and play "white man's basketball" to make it a more even playing field. The rules:

1 - No jumping.
2 - Only bounce passes allowed.
3 - Every shot had to be a bank shot.

1/21/2010 3:19:27 PM

I don't listen to the Packman

1/21/2010 3:31:06 PM

Paging Al and Jessie...

Well, I guess they failed at baseball.



I guess if Horner was to play in the league, he'd have to find a way to change his flaming basketball tattoo into a flaming cross. I also wonder how many water fountains will be at the games?

1/21/2010 11:13:07 PM

Twice as many as at an NBA game

1/22/2010 1:55:11 AM

its not like black people would watch

"Some people want to talk about "stats" and "talent" but buddy, in the America I know ... The America I LOVE? Well, that country NEEDS good boys like Hoffman. Why, just last week we were at a croquet match and I said "You know, son? I think you're better than any player ever to play at Syracuse." And he said to me "Wow, even Melo?" and I said "Who's Melo?" And he said, "The NBA player that came out of Syracuse? The MVP candidate?" And I said "Jesus, they're letting the Chinese play now, too? What next, the Russians?""

^^^^Check out the 3rd guy standing from the left. What a tub of shit.

1/22/2010 9:48:25 AM

They need a team in West Virginia, and I know just the person to start at center...

1/22/2010 7:38:51 PM

^^ he must have played short stop, he had to have amazing range.

its the white cecil fielder

1/23/2010 9:47:09 AM

^^nah he is a SF or an outside PF

1/23/2010 1:02:37 PM

^you're thinking as if he'd be in a normal league. the only way he doesn't play center is if Shawn Bradley is going to play.

1/23/2010 1:05:19 PM

white chocolate would be the kobe of this league & andrew bogut would be their wilt chamberlain...that's sad

1/23/2010 2:17:54 PM

Shane Battier would obviously be the best player in this league.

1/23/2010 2:24:59 PM

Is this the male version of the WNBA?
