    Hey after watching a lot of "great white hopes" fail you can't blame folks who were or still are suspicious that he might be overhyped because of his skin color. His recent play will take care of this if it continues.

    Or is he underhyped because of his skin color?

    So if someone were to take similar patterns err stereotypes in different scenarios why is it clearly not ok then?

    This attitude isn’t as prevalent anymore. Lots of great white players in the NBA.

    It was pretty obvious on Rockets twitter, and there are still some on this board, that seem to have it be an issue.

    Racism sucks no matter which direction it comes from....it is just ignorance.
