    Hello all,

    Nothing gets me going like the most dominant group in basketball per capita, the tall blacks. Despite a relatively low population, the tall blacks punch above their weight and are by far the most exciting players to watch. We can also discuss the age-old question: what makes the tall blacks so good at basketball? Follow this thread for tall blacks updates!

    We can also discuss the female tall blacks here, AKA the tall ferns:

    The tall blacks are already off to a great start! Keep in mind Steven Adams is out.

    Nah mate, black is the national color, hence why the rugby team wears all black. This earned them the nickname "all blacks." Other national sports teams then earned nicknames based off the all blacks. The basketball team is the tall blacks, the cricket team is the black caps, the hockey team is the black sticks, etc. Except for the football team which wears white, so they go by the name "all whites."

    They should field a team in another sport, naming them All Kiwis in your honor!

    Tall Blacks are actually tall Asians, according to the World Cup divisions.

    I've always believed the all blacks could switch to American football. If they were an NFL team, my money is on all blacks winning. And not the American ones.
