I mainly did it to see if white/American players could actually make a decent starting 5, and it seems like they'd make a decent one, but not nearly as good as some normal NBA rosters

Aren't people always bitching and moaning about white people dominating all industries and professions and saying it's unfair to other races? Affirmative action laws are in place to ensure that lesser qualified members of other races are given spots ahead of white people with better qualifications and experience. Now there is a sport where white people aren't #1 and everyone's bitching and moaning and saying white people suck and need to step it up?

There's no way to win.

Its less than 5 percent in Europe.
can you explain why white europeans are better than white americans at basketball? Athleticism?

They aren't. Remember Spanoulis? He was the Michael Jordan of Euroleague and could only get 2.8 PPG in NBA and couldn't even beat out Luther Head or Rafer Alston for a starting spot. He only played in garbage time vs other garbage time players, and still averaged less than 3 points a game and shot 31% and 17% from 3.


Meanwhile, Brian Scalabrine goes over to Europe and averages 18/14 on 70% shooting.
Jordan Farmar goes to Europe and suddenly becomes a superstar. Andrei Kirilenko looks like Lebron James vs Europeans.

Euroleaguers only look good relative to each other. Remember, Rudy Fernandez was like prime Vince Carter in Euroleague.


Euroleaguers play on a tiny court with a WNBA length 3 point line, and are allowed to handcheck and foul eachother and play true zone, which works because most Euroleague shooters suck in comparison to NBA shooters. Guys like Peja Stojakovic and Marco Bellinelli have lead Americans to believe that all Euroleaguers are elite shooters. Don't forget that Peja and Marco were the elite cream of the crop Europeans of their generation-that's the only way they made it to NBA in the first place. Most Euroleaguers are scrubs. Trajan Langdon is a multi-time MVP over there.

I remember watching a documentary a while back called "White Men Cant Jump" which took a close, examining look at some of the challenges and preconceptions facing hwhites who particapte in recreational and professional basketball.

the problem is with point guards

Let Gordon Hayward run point

Hayward
Korver
Parsons
Love
Zeller

Then run shit loads of switches like the warriors. fill in the squad with good white role players. This team scores 110 points a game. Bad on defense, but a good scheme could pull them through. Fun chemistry between Love and Zeller, with Love throwing those outlets and Zeller running the floor (Cody Zeller is the skinny man's Blake Griffin). Lots of good hustle bigs, so the whites could have them play really really aggressively and just cycle them. Have them hedging out on PnR's and running the floor as much as possible. This team would benefit from playing their home games in the Denver altitude IMO.

bench:
Ryan Anderson
Aaron Craft :)
jj Reddick
Meyers Leonard
Chase Budinger
Tyler Zeller
Plumlees

Hayward is a really good PnR player.

White Americans can't even claim the most dominant white guy in UFC history because he was a French-Canadian

Prime Chuck Liddell had a crazy run at one point. Don't forget his prime.

Avenged all of his losses in the UFC, and went on a tear, KO/TKO'ing 7-straight people. I wonder if that's ever been matched? Being a contender and then defending title an KO/TKO opponent 7-times.

Chuck was 20-3 at his peak.
GSP is at 25-2 (but of his last 10 wins, he only finished 2) the other 8 went to a decision (so not truly that dominant) and, his last win was a controversial split decision.

In Chuck's 23 fights (prime era) he had 13 finishes by KO/TKO (very impressive).

GSP has had 27 fights and he has 8 finishes by KO/TKO.

Chuck can also claim that he is the only guy to finish Allistar Overeem (elite K-1 level striker) on his feet with strikes at 205.
