No American has gone #1 in the draft since 2012

[Nuff Said]

His mom is Dominican and his dad is American


He was born and raised in America, so hes American


This is like saying African Americans arent american

...or white Americans aren't American.

[D-Wait]

Anthony Bennett should have never even been a lottery pick, let alone the top pick. He shouldn't count.

[Fowl]

KAT was born in the USA and has spent his entire lIfe here. He is American

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Nationality is what you identify by imo as long as you have bloodline or have lived there for most of your life. He's identifying as Dominican, so he is Dominican.

[HeatFanSince88]

Technically a native american has never gone #1.

Only those who originate from Africa or Europe.

Nationality - where you come from
Race - genetic make up

Karl is Black (father) & Dominican (mother). He was born & raised in the US so he is American. The only reason he was able to play for the Dominican national team was because of his mother's heritage. Just because you play for a national team doesnt mean thats their nationality. For example, Serge Ibaka plays for Spain because he became a naturalized citizen but he is from the Congo.

[Patrick Chewing]

How do some of you on ISH manage to get your hands on a computer?? Dumbasses.

He can say he's Dominican all he wants, because that's his heritage. But he's American by birth.

[KNOW1EDGE]

Lol. He's American. He's from New Jersey and has lived his entire life in the U.S.

Yeah but he reps Dominican Republic so he's not American.lol

I identify as a squirrel, so I am a squirrel.

[Nash]

whatever, on paper he's domincan. In nba terms he's domincan. When drafted he was considered Dominican, therefore he counts as the first Domincan drafted #1.

Your point is stupid and you can't spell Dominican.

[Fallen Angel]

Karl Towns is American. There's no sure thing as a pure American.

[Euroleague]

half dominican, but still was born in America

So OP is full of shit

He considers himself Dominican genius. It's only in the crazy lunatic bizarro world of ESPN and the NBA where he is counted as American.

According to the NBA almost every single player that won Olympic medals for Lithuania's national team is "American".

Get serious.

[Euroleague]

It never ceases to amaze how these threads bring out all of the xenophobes and racists and how they always instantly expose all the nationalist Europeans and all of the ugly Americans and rednecks.
