I think I'm being trolled, but here's the demographic breakdown for New York City which would be the largest urban population in the US.
White alone - 2,961,851 (35.3%)
Hispanic - 2,315,041 (27.6%)
Black alone - 1,931,723 (23.0%)
Asian alone - 998,081 (11.9%)
Two or more races - 106,570 (1.3%)
Other race alone - 61,585 (0.7%)
American Indian alone - 14,355 (0.2%)
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone - 2,675 (0.03%)

As for it being a black thing, the black viewership in the NBA was around 10% of the total viewership. In comparison, it's like 12-15% of the total for the NFL.
