Where Are the White Basketball Players?

I was watching outside the lines on ESPN and I saw a piece on how white American athletes have a diminishing role in the National Basketball Association. Watching this piece has opened my eyes to staggering statistics of how white American athletes are basically disappearing from the league and are now being replaced by the European players. Most white athletes are great college players, but it doesn't seem to transfer over to success in the NBA.
If you look at Duke you'll see that these players dominate in the college ranks, but when they get to the league they seem to stay on a team for a year or two and then their out for good. That pretty much goes for any white American basketball player that plays college ball.
America is now looking for the next John Stockton’s, Mark Prices or even Jerry West in the NBA, but that's not going to happen if they can't play defense. There has only been one white American athlete that has made the all star game in the past decade and he wasn't even a starter. Also Kirk Hinrich is the only white player to make second team all defensive player in the past fifteen years.
Coaches and General Managers are blaming the lack of white players in the league is due to their absence of athleticism makes them a problem or the weakness link on the defensive end of the court. While white players can shoot the lights out they are not able to keep up with the quickness of today's athletes in the league and if they can't do that what good are they.
The NBA has turned more to the international or European players because they have more experience on a professional level. European players are more like black players because of their ability and work ethic. These athletes have a precedent to look at and measure themselves with. Look at Dirk Nowitzki and Kobe Bryant.
Black players will always dominate sports due to their supreme athletic ability. Black youths of America are tired of setting record numbers in prison populations and are looking forward to bigger better things through sports and entertainment. Not to mention the poverty stricken areas they grow up in. Now I'm not saying white Americans aren't growing up in those same places, I'm just saying education is being pushed more than athletics and it should be.
