You don’t have to jump out of an arena to have athletic ability, but white guys who can ball in any sport are not seen as athletic even if they are.
Kevin Love is probably a better athlete than most players, but here is what he had to say to a GM that thinks he is just getting by on his “grit”.
It's the "White Guy" award!! @APkrawczynski: Another from NBA GM survey: @kevinlove is player who makes most of 'limited natural ability.'

I am pretty sure Love has more natural talent than Zach Randolph, but if you can ball, you can ball.
