Hey, he might not be so wrong to say there is racist INTENT, he isn't saying Stern is a racist, or the NBA is racist.

Who is this rule going to affect? Young black men. Robert Swift is the only white player to come out straight from high school. These guys have every right to come out of high school into the NBA, the owners don't HAVE to draft them.

If there was a law made that was only going to affect hispanics, or people of european descent, there would be questions raised. Jermaine O'Neal just asked "Why?"

Found a GREAT article:here's a different take on what he said, from someone who obviously knows him better than I do: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...jackson/050414
