	      I read an article in Sport that stated "America does not
     want to see intelligent, articulate BLACK millionaires" playing.
     For those who have played the game and can appreciate the talent
     necessary to do seemingly simple things like fade-away Js and
     no-look-assists, the game has never been better. But, basketball is
     considered a black sport. Most of the audience wants to see someone
     who they can perform vicariously through. Most of the audience is also
     white.
	      I'd like to see some NFL and Baseball fans name two starters
     on teams other than the Cowboys, Yankees, etc.
	      Does anyone know if NBA attendance is down comparitively
     with preceding years?
