chosen.content: The majority of players in basketball are African American due to the sport's historical roots in the African-American community. It is largely believed that basketball was created by a physical education teacher named James Naismith, who was of Kansan-American descent. Additionally, when the sport first started to gain traction, many players from the southern United States participated in professional basketball leagues. Because of their heritage, the majority of early professional basketball players were African American.  Since then, the sport has evolved and become more racially inclusive. However, African Americans still make up the majority of players in the NBA due to their history in the game and continued participation in the league.

rejected.content: The majority of professional basketball players are black due to historical reasons. Basketball originated in the early twentieth century in the United States, a country which, at that time, was largely segregated. This resulted in basketball not gaining popularity among whites to the same extent that it did with the black population. With the sport largely being based in black communities, the game has been predominantly characterized by African-American players throughout history.
