DISCUSSION Basketball racism hiding in plain site.

I’m sure this plays out in many places. For context I am a white male who has played ball my entire life. Best game there is. There was a park in Hollywood, FL near my house where I would go and shoot often during the daytime. 2 full courts. But one end had 10 foot hoops and the other was 6 foot hoops so you couldn’t run full court. Nor were there any lights. But the 4 tennis courts were well lit at night time. Now why do you suppose that was. The area was a mix of white, black and Latino. But most of the ballers were young and black and the tennis players were older and white of course. Just felt so blatant to me that they didn’t want young black kids running full court or playing ball at night. I don’t live in the area anymore but it still sits wrong with me. Anybody else run across something like this?

IMPROVING MY GAME Is it weird if I bank in ALL of my shots?

I always purposely bank it when shooting any 3s or free throws or really any thing... ive always found it a lot easier to hit and I shoot way more consistently when purposely going for a bank.
