Seriously...
You are really serious with this?
How many blacks
had a chance to go to college?
Please take a look at college rosters now compared
to the late 50's and early 60's.
And then still tell me the talent was fully tapped
with a straight face.... errr... without typing
crooked
My conclusion is athletic talent was not as fully utilized
as it is today in basketball. You disagree, and say I am drawing
invalid conclusions... Yikes.
