A question about black athlete's...

[Dial_tone]

Of course, look at Joachim Noah. He needed a way out, that's why he became such a great basketball player. Same thing with Grant Hill, Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey, Jr.

How do you figure Joachim Noah needed a way out? You know who his father is? I doubt he was hurting for pizza money.

That's the point my man, all of those brothers I mentioned have rich daddys, and there are many more out there. I don't agree that finding a way out drives all black athletes.

Many of today's African American youth bank their future on being good athletes. Although there are many great black scholars, doctors, lawyers, engineers etc. the majority see themselves as excelling in life by excelling in sports.
