It is not accurate to say that "Black people dominate basketball." While it is true that many professional basketball players are Black or of African American descent, it is important to recognize that this is due to a complex interplay of historical, social, and environmental factors.

One of the reasons why Black athletes may be overrepresented in sports like basketball is due to structural racism and systemic inequality in sports and society at large. For many years, Black athletes have faced numerous barriers to entry and opportunities in sports, including limited access to resources, discrimination, and racial biases in scouting and recruiting processes. Additionally, many Black communities have a strong sports culture and tradition that has provided a fertile ground for young athletes to develop their skills and excel in sports.

It is also important to recognize that the success of Black athletes in basketball is not innate or exclusively based on their race or genetic factors. Hard work, discipline, training, access to resources, and a supportive environment are all contributing factors to success in sports.
