I've heard that is it 75-80 percent black.

RE: What is the racial makeup of the NBA again?

From Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_NBA

According to racial equality activist Richard Lapchick, the NBA in 2011 was composed of 78 percent black players, 17 percent whites, four percent Latinos, and one percent Asian.

The league had by far the highest percentage of black players of any major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada.
