But eventually, there will be an entire generation of American players who have grown up watching Luka, just like the current crop of players grew up watching LeBron. He WILL be a draw, someday. I've never been more confident about anything. I just hope he's still here by then, and that the Mavs are in position to capitalize at that time.
Well, I'm definitely not consulting any hard data, but I've spent time in quite a few cities, and Dallas/FW definitely feels less diverse to me than people here claim. I'm not trying to throw shade - I love it here. But, while the population statistics might tell one story (idk, actually) the CULTURE supports my opinion...in my opinion (lol).
EDIT: Just re-read my blurb and your quote - I should have written "culturally" instead of racially. That wasn't an accurate portrayal of my take, sorry.
Yeah, no biggie, I was just curious as to that perspective because racially Dallas is almost split into thirds between white/black/hispanic. Not a big Asian representation, but on the whole Dallas is fairly diverse racially.
