Basketball players can put paying customers in seats. That's the big difference.
Yeah, the same people who eat at MacDonalds.

White guys can't jump.
Except the fact that most world-class high jumpers are white.
You can't be serious. Have you watched the NBA dunk competition recently?
NBA average annual salary = $5 million
International high jumper average annual salary = less than $50k
Not sure that the best jumpers are "high jumping"
Hahahaha funniest thing I have read all day. Fyi the NBA average Vertical Jump is 28". Yes Inches!!! More about how tall you are! There are outcast "the great players" with very impressive leaps but not many.

For some perspective; white guy Richard Kilty wins the 60m indoors WC in 2014. Does he go on to win anything else that year? A single DL meet? The Commonwealth Games? The European Champs? The World Challenge final in Beijing?
New era indeed.
Apples to oranges. None of those meets had a 60m race.
Do you think Kilty would beat the top 100m sprinters of the world over 60m? Because I don't.
A list of the guys Kilty beat
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_IAAF_World_Indoor_Championships_–_Men%27s_60_metres#Final
Richard Kilty Great Britain 6.49 PB
2nd 6 Marvin Bracy United States 6.51
3rd 5 Femi Ogunode Qatar 6.52
4 1 Su Bingtian China 6.52 NR
5 7 Gerald Phiri Zambia 6.52 NR
6 2 Dwain Chambers Great Britain 6.53
7 4 Nesta Carter Jamaica 6.57
8 8 Kimmari Roach Jamaica 6.58
How many of those guys were leading at 60m in any of the major outdoor 100m championships?
