of top 20 players in basketball-reference VORP past few seasons... 2017: 18 black 2016: 18 black 2015: 19 black 2014: 17 black

What do Curry and Thompson count as?
-
I'm counting them as black; of course NBA players, like all AfAms, have a wide variation in European admixture.
-
Yeah but those two, I *believe, are 50/50.
-
Curry's light-skinned but both his parents are black. Klay's mom is white, though.

picture is more complicated than height alone. blacks longer limbed proportional to height and overall (which probably helps in basketball)pic.twitter.com/8VYWKDSLX1

The stat we're really dancing around is 'vertical leap' (proxy for explosiveness.)
-
greater reach probably helps independent of VL
-
anyways my point is env. differences unlikely to explain these different ratios & these are larger in SD terms than white height advantage
