Honestly, not quite as funny as it would have been if I didn't know half the guys in the video are, like, really good or important to the team. But still pretty damn funny.

Anybody who takes offense to this video needs to take a chill pill. OBVIOUSLY there are a lot of white basketball players who are very good, but there's a reason that there's a well known movie called "White Men Can't Jump." It's a funny stereotype just like the overenthusiastic sports fans (Chris Farley and the Bears), the uptight church lady (Dana Carvey), and the ridiculous boy band (Lonely Island). Obviously this won't be a running joke because there's only so much you can do with it, but it's still funny.

EDIT: Also I love the bit about the white guy who "takes charges," and you can clearly see the ref in the background indictating that it's a blocking foul.

Because somehow social inequity in satire now will improve race relations? Men used to be allowed to hit their wives too, but that doesn't mean its good for gender relations if women hit men now.

Either e accept satire universally, or not at all.

Nobody is suggesting it's good for race relations. However, since you seemed so incredulous at the idea of a double standard, I thought I'd remind you of the role that history rightfully plays.  People acting like the sensitivities of the races should be the same is always absurd.

Let's just be fair then since that's how America works now. Whites are unathletic, uppity, and smug assholes. They also fuck everyone over who gets in their way. Blacks are lazy and have big lips and wide noses. Asians have small dicks and can't drive. Mexicans have wet backs from working in the fields doing the work whites won't and have dead eyes. Indians stink and run convience stores. All middle eastern arabs are terrorists. Any more?

Pretty funny, though when a couple of white guys are on the AA team and one of them was awarded the POY in the toughest conference in the country...

Of course, he's Canadian.  That's like a white guy++

mark me down as a White Guy++ too i guess. I'm just waiting on that NHL Best of the Black Dudes video i ordered. Heard it had a pretty solid list of guys from past and present.

You know Grant Fuhr, Kevin Weeks, Donald Brashear, Jarome Iginla, PK Subban, Georges Laraque, Tony McKegney, Willie O'Ree.... the list goes on.
