If you want to see the results of the further disintegration of the black family, look no further than March Madness. Purdue vs. UConn featured teams with predominantly white starting lineups. American black men are losing their dominance in college and NBA basketball. Next season, Duke’s five-star freshman Cooper Flagg will likely be the face of college basketball, much like Purdue’s Zach Edey was this season. Jason says this is just another consequence of the turmoil in black America. “You can see the destruction of the black family on the basketball court.” T.J. Moe and Steve Kim join “Fearless” for this impactful conversation. Plus, a recent article in the Daily Beast prompts Whitlock to issue an apology to South Carolina coach Dawn Staley. And, in another stunning turn of events, Jason may have discovered the one thing that will have him tuning into the WNBA this season.

I 100% disagree with the home angle. David Stern is responsible. He took the game internationally with the 1st Dream Team. The fact is the WORLD has caught up to American hoops. Point blank, period. Fundamentals have been lost as far as the game is concerned because of things like AAU. Parenting has little to do with it.
Man…. you can't be serious
This is a tough one.
There is still more white men then black men in the USA.
Also, I am 54 years old and loved sports, but my parents did not care. It was not a first priority.
Although, the white guys my age and a little older idolized Jordan, Bo Jackson, Magic and all the great black players from the 80’s and 90’s. So when they had children did push sports more and got their kids training.
My sons wrestle in College and they trained year round and had personal coaches. You see how much better HS wrestlers are now then 15 to 20 years ago.
So yes there always been great white athletes and now more white kids are in sports.
Again, I do not see any race as inferior, like in education black community does not push education, but in school from elementary to HS Eric Ellison was the best athlete all those years I knew and this is Central Florida football and athletics. He never played on an organized team because his Mom pushed education and he was one of the smartest in our school. Never seen him ever get a B grade on anything.
I asked him why he never played sports. He said this in 9th grade. Sports last such a short time and you are not competing and you can get hurt. In academics, you can compete all your life. I rather compete the rest of my life.
This from the fastest and at 145 lbs he benched 315 lbs in 9th grade. I was considered strong and he destroyed my ego when I saw that.
Stop tearing down Thomas Sowell and Ben Carson’s of the world.
Jason watches everything with RACE in mind…
If it was iowa vs African American college players, south Carolina wouldn't have won. The had to bring a Brazilian Amazon or maybe a trans man.
When The White Shadow was on, basketball was a niche sport and the NBA was almost bankrupt. Most white guys were in baseball. The Dream Team made basketball mainstream and popular worldwide. This lead to a lot more white players.
TJ is right. Most modern women have become the man they want.
Having two loving stable parents is a big plus for any child
Great to see the A Team chewing the fat again. 100% you are being played. Cross-ref recent stories relating to Nelly Korda being the best golfer in the world right now. NK is a fabulous golfer and a great human being no doubt. She doesn't even make the cut at the Masters playing off the same tees. Narrative conflict beats news reporting every time.
This 🤬spends his life demeaning Blk people All the time smh
You should really run for office. You are a great example of manhood and leadership. GOD Bless Man !
them 2 parent 7ft white boys coming
I'm white, and I thought the same thing . I never thought about 2 parent families, though. I thought about team basketball vs. individual brilliance instead.
Jason is a novice Christian himself. He falls for anyone saying that they are a Christian. He’s a prime candidate to be deceived. He needs to be discipled himself.
UCONN ? Purdue yeah, I think you are confused. More black men are able to get into the Pro's w/o having to go to college at all !!
He just need to shut up it’s example both ways blacks players still runs college n nba goofy
Keep the refrigerator empty, I just can't handle it!
Should be in a book.
Awesome Jason, these hard facts need to said and pushed by more of us fathers!
Omg dude is always conflating confusing and subjects and issues
A few additions to the good observations in this episode:
– Fundamental basketball skills have been declining (especially in the NBA) for decades. The 1980s was the last of the rookie classes coming into the league with strong fundamentals, broadly speaking. When those players retired in the 1990s and 2000s, the league changed. Rule and officiating changes helped accelerate this process. The league decided to spotlight streetball style play and style over substance players like Allen Iverson (who really was the beginning of the downfall of the NBA as a mass market entertainment vehicle), and head coaches have been subjugated to star players in the franchise hierarchies which has destroyed team discipline. Players run the league now and to nobody's surprise, players are less demanding of themselves than old school coaches would be of them. NBA teams are rudderless mutiny ships, inmates running the asylum.
The penultimate example of this decline in competitiveness and product quality is the pathetic NBA All Star games which look weaker and lazier than old-man community leagues were 20 or 30 years ago. In this environment, players driven by self-discipline and fundamental skill are going to rise to the top quickly because the norm is weak and sloppy play.
– The Steph Curry effect on basketball helps drive the demographic changes you are speaking about. Division 1 and NBA ball used to be stratified ground where gameplay was directed towards the PAINT. And if you wanted to play in the paint, you needed to be big, quick, strong and able to fly. Otherwise you were going to get beat up and your shot was getting sent air mail down the floor, Mutombo style.
But who needs the paint when we can just shoot forty 3 pointers every game? What's the advantage of size or strength when you can't clog the paint due to defensive rules, and even if you could, no physical contact is allowed? Of course Larry Bird and Pistol Pete clones are going to dominate in this environment. Get your range shooting on and when you want to go inside, your junk floaters are protected by foul calls and Oscar-worthy flopping. People love to talk about "plumbers" to pump up Lebron James but have little idea how much forgotten throwbacks like Bob Cousy or John Havlicek would destroy people in the modern NBA. Their modern equivalents are already doing it.
Jason really enjoy your fearless and honest reporting!
I'm watching the NCAA men's championship game and I can't see that there's any possible way for someone to C00N this up into something negative about blacks. JW: Hold my butter biscuits.
No one wants to admit truth and stand up for biblical righteousness, cuz preaching biblical values is hate speech to those that live unGodly
Democrats make way to much money and get way too much power by destroying. It is not a mistake and it'll never stop.
What he's saying is true but why would it be acceptable to have the game dominated by black kids and and it's "unusual" to have it dominated by white kids?
Anyone from any race can be accomplished in what they set their minds to.
Great content
What type of nonsense is this? Because the players are White? What about the NFL? 🤣
Jason has absolutely no idea what he is talking about, statistically hes way off.
Jamal Shead University of Houston, but I understand your point 👍
He is pointing out the same thing as Larry Elder a generation older.
That's why foreign teams can beat US teams… Same reasons…
To be honest, he is conflating more interest in foreign players with black family structure issues. One didn’t cause the other and is a way to use this as socio-political play.
This is really about money from a way to keep the “larger” culture interested or to get those from outside of America interested in the game with players they can “relate” to.
I turned from dawn staley when she said she thought it would be okay for transgender to play in women's college basketball.
I think the strongest support for Jason's argument about the black American family is not the fact that white players are making some degree of a comeback in basketball. Rather I think it's the fact that entirely or almost entirely black American all-star teams no longer dominate European teams like they used to. That is amazing considering that black American men are thought to be the world's best basketball players and considering that all of the European countries have an enormously smaller population base to draw from then does the United States. I have lost interest in watching the US play international basketball because of the consistent underperformance. Why should the United States ever lose to or be played closely by a little country like Lithuania?
Says the dude that dont have no wife, no kids, no family. What am i talking about Rukus aint black 😅
Reality hurts!
Come on, people! JW is talking about COLLEGE hoops, and many of the comments are referring to the NBA!!!
I grew up loving basketball my entire life . I started having children in my 30s. I steered them awat from basketball and into wrestling because of the trash culture that has been steadily rising in basketball since the late 90s.
Basketball player in college and a slave on a Mississippi plantation…, yeah, great comparison, T.J. – Sorry Jason, need a more in touch guest than that fella. 😒
