Now, back on topic. Chase Budinger gets my vote for the most athletic Caucasian in the NBA and is most certainly the most athletic American born Caucasian in the league. Rudy Fernandez is up for the for non-American born white guys.

I know hes a high jumper but hes white being the point. He can jump right with MJ and hes as white as you get.
Jumping is relative. If your 4'2 you can still have a 40" vertical. But yea that dont mean it trnaslates to a dunk.
However 5'6 people dunking is happening more and more so who knows.
I mean i cant dunk right now cause i work and i dont have time to stay in that kinda shape. But i am 6'5. but thinking is teh origin of everything. If you dont think you can, you never will.

Why is athleticism always measured in vertical leap? You guys really don't know much about athleticism

Old Ginobili is more athletic than many of those named.

Re: Most athletic active white player in the NBA?
Is Joe Alexander still in the league? If so, it's probably him.
If not, it's Kevin Love and Budinger if you want to exclude Blake. Kevin Love is a really under rated athlete. Has great leaping ability, is really strong (or at least looks like he can hold down anyone when he's going for rebounds) He's honestly not all the much less athletic then Blake. He's just doesn't have the same type of body control and isn't flashy.

Re: Most athletic active white player in the NBA?
I think once Meyers Leonard goes to the NBA he deserves consideration as a true pasty white boy with extreme athleticism.
