As a black dude, my favorite player is South American 
Kaminsky is an incredible player
I just enjoy watching good basketball, period.
My favorite guy to play pick up bball with in college was this dorky looking white guy who literally looked like a redheaded Harry Potter, I shite you not. Guy could flat out ball, though

I share Andrew's sentiment. frick him!...and all the rest of the sh*t bag crackers who made sure that a bunch of black kids don't make history. Teams like Wisconsin only get as far as they do in sports because of how White they are. White referee's assist these little shite bag white boys in succeeding in sports to the psychological benefit of convincing little white kids that they are not inferior to Blacks. But they still are. As the NBA, NFL, Boxing etc. has proven. It was obvious who the refs and the announcers wanted to win. And we all know why, yet these sh*t bag crackers will ask; "what does race have to do with anything".

Ok, so...
Dictionary.com gives a definition of the word N***** as:
Slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive. a contemptuous term used to refer to a person of any racial or ethnic origin regarded as contemptible, inferior, ignorant, etc.
While not racial, it is still an extremely degrading term to call anyone.
As if dropping the F-bomb on National TV wasn't enough...

If you need me to break it down for u then I surely will

So I guess a white player calling a black player cracker would be racist

Like everything else, it would depend on the context.
It's not black and white. Language rarely is.

Tell me how that wasn't an embarrassment to himself and his school.

I don't see how anyone thinks racial intent was implied here they could've asked him about a black player, and he could've said the same thing, and there would probably be very little people screaming racism

For one who gives a frick about the school. He slipped up and said what us as blacks call out friends or even chide our opponents with on a everyday basis. he didn't say frick that cracker did he? Now that's a racial slur. Do u know that we use the word to play off the original meaning? Some of u bitches and I'm not saying you probably couldn't wait for some shite like this to happen. It's been talked about on here before.

Exactly
As distasteful as the word may be to some, he was really only using it as a turn of phrase. He would have said the same regardless of Kaminsky's race--he was just mad that he's the star of the team that beat them, and handled it unprofessionally.

If black folks aren't offended by the use of the word, no harm.

Some are, some aren't. There's no consensus.
What there is, is context. Most can figure out if it's being used as a pejorative or not.
