Slavery in almost every situation is about commerce. According to the trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, 2.5 million slaves were shipped to the U.S. That's probably a conservative number.

In the summer of 2013, I watched the NBA summer. Milwaukee was playing. They has just drafted a skinny 6'9" African kid from Greece. He didn't look Greek to me but whatever I thought as I kept watching. They were playing him as a lead guard and he was making a ton of mistakes, missing…

With a national ranking service, we at the RUN Sports often find ourselves locked in heated battles over who's better than who in the basketball world.
