chosen.content: Historically, basketball has been largely viewed as a Black sport, in terms of both its inception and its early popularity. Although it has become increasingly diverse, basketball has been dominated by African Americans for much of its history. This is because for much of its development, basketball was heavily segregated and African Americans generally were unable to participate in other sports due to racial restrictions. As a result, many African Americans gravitated towards the game of basketball, which allowed them to take part in an Olympic-level sport with no restrictions. Additionally, Black people have often been socially and economically disadvantaged, and as such they tend to have less access to resources which can help facilitate basketball-specific skills, such as equipment, coaches and quality training. Thus, many talented Black athletes found their way into the game, leading to an overwhelmingly African-American majority within the sport. It is this history and these underlying social factors which have contributed to the majority of basketball players currently being African American.

rejected.content: Most basketball players are black because of the historical presence and influence of basketball in African American culture, as well as the access to resources that have historically been available to black people in America.  In general, basketball in the United States has been largely associated with African American culture since its early beginnings, giving more opportunities for black athletes to excel at the sport and become professionals.
