Listen, you know I won’t talk about this in detail due to social contract reasons but I think baseball style cards subtle valuation criterions are coming to basketball cards as well. The Eastern Europeans or Western European cousins of Eastern Europeans players were the first step to this process starting in the late 1980s. This evolution has morphed into a suburb state pipeline into the NCAA and finally into the NBA. There are more and more American Caucasian players who may have their confidence depressed for years due to certain basketball related movie(s) which I shall not name and name calling/insinuations from certain demographic groups who may have entrenched interests to keep Caucasian and other groups of people from excelling in the sport. These actions potentially kept a certain demographic group only chasing roles in a few industry through superficial get rich schemes that the industry professionals themselves know it’s literally a lottery of a chance of succeeding. Not only other people who may be more talented are prevented from entering these industries, it also may have prevented societal and economic progress which America’s adversaries may be exploring.
Jaylen Brown and Lebron James should be lauded as social movement leaders for their insightful observations on social events and likely should serve as the model celebrities in certain communities. This is why Lebron and not Jordan is the GOAT. The West Coast especially the Hollywood region is known for setting trends. The success of a certain team located in that area may be emulate throughout the league and in other sports leagues regardless of the attributes of the leagues. Over 60% of all NCAA active athletes in recent history are white, nearly 30% of all NCAA men’s D1 basketball players are white yet only around 15% of NBA players are white. The women’s basketball side is even more skewed in this regard in terms of the pipeline to the professional level. Not only can white basketball players shoot the ball well, they can also become multiple time NBA Slam Dunk champions. If more white players are in the NBA and other leagues in the Western world and if white players are not figuratively emasculated, belittled, degraded and/or minoritized, perhaps the majority population of America will embrace it like baseball and the majority of the Western world will embrace it like the English Premier League. Imagine how much additional value this one act could unlock? Being an economic lightweight demographic group should not be a victimization card for blaming others for your potential issues. There are literally demographic group(s) in the US with single-digit composition of the population with higher or close being equal aggregate GDP power, double median income and much higher percentage of higher educational attainment than a certain demographic group with double-digit composition of the US population. It may be time to stop making selective excuse on why you are not succeeding in most things. America can no longer afford to welfare state these potential people with resource allocations needed in more critical areas like domestic talent development, high tech manufacturing, R&D, space exploration etc. Wasting resources on AI and chatbots to provide political correction answers on the other hand may be a prime example of resources misallocation.

The rise of White American Caucasian basketball players in the NBA and the baseball-cardification of basketball card valuation.
The Western world is the most powerful and richest entity in the history of the world. It’s just strange that the majority is minoritized by the minority in a league that is mostly owned by the majority. This never happens in any potentially authoritarian or undemocratic countries where many of America’s domestic detractors may frequently points to as the beacon of their fantasies and where they claim they want to move to. This will also likely force the decision makers to stop giving people crutches and give them the incentives to diversify into other fields that the Western world could benefit from. It may also help a certain group people get over their victimization and possibly become more grateful. In many of the countries the domestic detractors point to as advanced civilizations, they would make these people work for food with no private property ownership nor any resemblance of long-term future to speak of. While people from certain demographic group(s) denounce certain West Coast team for utilizing a starting five made up of predominately white players, your favorite TPC think this is the beginning to more white representation in America where MEI models are utilized. They utilizing America’s own freedoms trying to obstruct the progress of more white empowerment in professional basketball sports, on both the men’s and women’s side. Future economists will be baffled how the authorities allow this imbalance to continue to happen that may potentially hurt America’s own future.
A certain West Coast team is showing the world how things should likely be. They are probably taking heat for this but in return, they are turning out to be either true patriots or accidental patriots powered by capitalism. The Knicks should also be lauded for being an organization with Villanova style class and character that instill value into the next generation of Americans. In the future, there likely will be a time when white players from the past will be given the merit-based recognition they deserve. Many great white players in the NBA are almost never talked about or are belittled. The legacy system in the NBA is extremely severe where kids of athletes from certain demographic group overwhelming take away draft/two-way/roster spots from deserving white players who were never given a chance to shine and have to constantly live in the belittling cycle of insults from the industry who lean in a direction against their progress. It is just ironic how the same people may constantly talk about being treated unfairly yet when it comes to their own interests, they want an unfair system in place where only their own people are involved in the sport despite the majority of the population are white. Any business knows tailoring a product that the majority of your customer base may like is a wise decision. Many white players are derided for just being themselves and that West Coast NBA may also be unfairly labeled as Sxxwtime ______ a clearly insulting, disrespectful and socially unacceptable term. From a basketball cards investing standpoint, I think this is the age of white superstars in the NBA. C_____ C_____ on the women’s basketball side is only the beginning. I can think of numerous emerging white American superstars in the making besides the Eastern Europeans in the NBA right now. This is not just because of the transition toward more skill, IQ and EQ MEI type of shift, this is actually just regression toward the mean. From a physical standpoint, the average white American is taller than all other types of American or foreign group of people in America. This means white Americans are more physically gifted and statically speaking better suited to play basketball and other organized sports where height is important.
Height can’t be taught either. While people also tend to have bigger palms which possess a much bigger advantage in terms of palming the ball than a slightly longer finger that are likely slimmer. Many lies may have been perpetuated, increase sizes of certain things when it is simply scientifically proven not true, by certain people who may have entranced interests themselves or are the force behind these entrances interests to keep America from being a MEI based nation that made it a superpower. If one is not worth the salt, then one may probably not deserve to have the salt. Those new rookie cards of white players you thought are never going to be good might be worth a lot more in the future when they are given equal chance to shine and to prove themselves like everyone else. America needs AI, manufacturing, space technology, will to succeed, scientific researchers, semiconductors and educated well-to-do people who aspire to do more. The drive that made America into a superpower cannot be impeded by distractions and useless daily complaints about why things are so hard from America’s internal detractor(s), figurative handout panhandlers who may do more harm than good potentially aided in some way by America’s existential number one archenemy. It’s ironic America’s archenemy would never welcome immigrants in scale of any kind especially people of certain demographics massively into their country yet they have no issues causing disease and suffering in the world and through propaganda, polluting the minds of the most vulnerable. As America transition through admitting more MEI policies especially in the education sector, more focus will likely be put into transiting skills into the hands and minds of true Americans who love America with a mono-allegiance to the flag without any potential prior/present/future poly commitments elsewhere even if it’s just potentially.
