The NBA Falls Just Short Of A Perfect Score In Minority Hiring

Although its referees allegedly harbor some subconscious racial bias, the NBA gets an A- for (diversity) effort. The authority on race and gender in sports, Richard Lapchick, gave the NBA the highest grade among men's sports leagues for the 15th year in a row. But what's holding them back from a perfect score? I wonder if the minus after that "A" had something to do with the fact that white men keep winning league MVP.

I wonder if anyone has examined the white men mvp trend. I mean, seriously, shouldn't Kobe win it every year? (I don't really follow sports much anymore. But I do know he performs insane feats.)
