When we say "white players"

[MavsSuperFan]

Idk that is close.

Totally off topic and im probably wrong

But it wouldnt surprise me if blakes bio dad was a lighter skinned black man.

I just dont see how a black man as dark as that guy has a kid as light skinned as blake.

At a most blakes dad should be about as dark as president obama, probably closer to doc rivers skin tone.

In recent times... yea, most likely. All time? Nop...

Stockton
West
Bird
McHale
Walton

Tough to mess with.

That would make for one great all-time team, if they were all healthy and in their primes. The shooting and passing would be amazing.

Put them up against the original starting Dream Team.

Mike and the boys would run that shit out the gym they would kill them in transition foh

Why the hell do black people love claiming these mixed guys as their own and why does society as a whole allow it?

Blake Griffin, Steph Curry, Obama, etc.

They're not black. Ok?

Where do you think the intelligence in these men comes from?

Because Stocton, West and Walton (healthy) couldn't run the fast break? Anyway, Bird's team would pick Mike's team apart in the half court.

You have to remember that the 80s Hawks and 76ers were far more athletic than the Celtics. So were the Bucks.

International white guys are basically the best of the best the rest of the world have to offer. For every Gasol, there are countless Darkos and Spanoulis players in the NBA.

NBA white guys should really be the best white american population has to offer.

The percentage of non-Hispanic white people in the U.S. population has reached an all-time low: 63%. That is 197.7 million white people out of 313.9 million Americans. In 2000, whites were 69% of the population

Currently there are about 197 million non-hispanic white americans, its surprising that no american white has been a great player (I guess love is boarderline) since Bird and stockton.

Now if there were zero great white players, you could just explain it away as whites suck at basketball. But thats not the case. There have been great non-american white players.

Personally I think it has to do with what kobe said, about how they teach the fundamentals better outside america, and white players are more dependent on skills.

It doesn't come from skin cells, last I checked.

[SHAQisGOAT]

you had to go back 50 years for some of them players smh.Back then there was barely any europeans in the nba.I said the past 35 years its only been 3 great white players.Chris Mullin would not be the same player in this era like the other 3 would.

Bird, Stockton, McHale, Mullin, Westphal, Mark Price, Chambers, Bobby Jones, Sikma, Walton... were all active at some point in the last 35 years, all great players at their best, not ALL of them were cream of the crop superstars but all of them were great at their best.

And stop underrating Mullin...

I believe its the blade effect except opposite.I believe they take all the weaknesses instead of all the strengths.

How many white people are 100% pure anything in today's american....not very many

They are mixed with irish or german or italian ect ect ect.Manu and them boys are 100% thats why they are way better athletes than the luke babbits of the league



I swear im not trolling mods...

Cool. Did I insinuate that it did?

Maybe it's also that in some of those countries, you really only have the choice of soccer, the Olympics or Basketball to be great in?

We have a lot of sporting options in the US. A good percentage of blacks are limited to excelling in football, basketball or track & field. So that's where their efforts go.

Malcom Gladwell argues that it's not a genetic thing at all. It's a matter of what the population in question concentrates on. The white majority in the US has too many options to excel in a couple of areas. It the situation were reversed, we would see the opposite effect in basketball.

Which is what you're kind of seeing from the Euros, with soccer being their number one draw by far.

You see this with Latin America and baseball. Second only to soccer, depending on the country.

White Choc is the last player to have confidence and not feel second class since Bird. All these white players give too much respect.

rick barry
chris mullin
kevin mchale
dave cowens
pete maravich
george mikan
john havlicek
bill walton
jerry west

were all some of the best players in the world at one point. aside from maybe chris mullin, legends.

not sure what this forums obsession with race is anyway. bunch of degenerates.

None of those guys have been recent.

Over the past 10-15 years all of the best white players have been non-american.
I dont get why everyone is so scared to talk about race

[Im so nba'd out]

athletically speaking


A full blooded dog > A mut

A pure blooded argentine male(manu ginboili) > An american mut male (kyle korver)




once again not trolling mods i really believe this

True. Shooting, passing, team D, chemistry, intangibles and even post-game would be crazy.

Bench of:

Price
Hondo
Barry
Pettit
Cowens

Would be pretty great too, and you also got B. Jones, Pistol Pete, Mullin, Westphal, Debusschere and so on...

But the best team consisting of black players would definitely be better, at least on paper... even when you combine white USA players and white foreigners. White team would be crazy yea, but the best players throughout history on average are black, no question about it.
