"There’s nothing hatred about what we’re doing," he told the Augusta Chronicle. "I don’t hate anyone of color. But people of white American-born citizens [sic] are in the minority now. Here’s a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like."
Lewis told the paper he defines "fundamental basketball" as different from the "street-ball" played by "people of color," and claimed recent scandals in professional basketball -- such as the gun charges dogging the Wizards' Gilbert Arenas -- have made the creation of all-white teams a necessity.
"Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?" he told the paper. "That’s the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction."
