Sam Dekker Correctly Notes People Always Compare White Players To Other White Players

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/23/sam-dekker-white-players_n_7648774.html

Sam Dekker, former Wisconsin Badger and soon-to-be NBA player, spoke a deep, deep truth on Tuesday....

“What players do you look to? What are the guys that you say, ‘I’d like to pattern my game after him or these people together?’” HuffPost Live host Marc Lamont Hill asked Dekker on Tuesday afternoon.

“Well, there’s a few,” Dekker said, obviously knowing what he was about to say, but questioning how exactly to say it. “Um, you know, there’s always, there’s always, me, um, the way I play, being a white guy, a lot of times you get compared to other white guys.”...

“Which isn't fair because your game isn’t necessarily like a particular white guy,” Hill correctly noted.
