Is Doncic experiencing the "Great White Hope/Hype" effect?

[ralph_i_el]

1. QB has been a predominantly white position throughout history. of course nobodies saying the GOAT out of all of them is hyped only cause hes white


2. dirk was under the radar for a long time and only finally got his due after 2011. he's a top 20 player all time and just barely reached the cut off for getting any respect... dirk was lucky enough to be drafted by one of the only franchises that encourages white stardom... and surprise surprise. guess where doncic is

3. ginobili was actually a victim of being a legendary white player. he was unfairly benched for most of his career by a self admitted libcuck that wants every black person in america to inject his stomach with their semen on a daily basis. he's by far the biggest suck up of the current democuck alt left race baiting white self hating agenda

4. you've proven to be one of the most racist/bigoted posters on ISH btw

Pop would break you like the bitch you are.

He's a service academy graduate, which means he's tougher and smarter than anyone you have ever met.

Go spend more of your grandpa's money on trading cards bitch.

Trading cards?

Advanced skill set, high iq playmaker, solid 6'7" frame, easily playing at a ROY caliber level, and has led the mavs to almost just as many wins as they had all last season, and we're only halfway into the season.

And he's only 19 years old. He also led his team to a Euroleague championship, the year prior. Great white hype? Whatever makes you feel better, but hes clearly a franchise player with a huge upside.

Its not about being "celebrated". Most experienced role players are also prominent.

Hype or "The Great White Hope" refers to sensationalism. Luka is definitely experiencing some of that on social media. Among the mainstream media? Not really. Unless being talked about as an all-star triggers you.

Dude.. the kid is 19. That is playing a much bigger part in his hyping than his race, and deservedly so. At 19 I guarantee you 100% of us on this board were half retarded.

This is complete BS. Most Americans absolutely hate anyone not from the USA, especially Europeans - whether they are white or not.

The xenophobia level is astonishing.

Doncic could be white or black, he'd still be getting a shitload of hype.


He's young, good looking, oozes with charisma, is quite likable and he can legit ball. At 19 he is a marketing dream. Throw in that he is from Europe and you can sell this cat all over the globe.

That's not true. Most US NBA fans LOVE Doncic the same way they loved Dirk all these years.

We could take away his identity as a white male (SJW's favorite target) and just post his numbers so far as a 19 y.o rookie, only Lebron has averaged his numbers, and he's destroying rookie Lebron when it comes to 3PT shooting.
