Pau Gasol. You'd think he'd have a heavy accent.

Easily Evan Turner. I was shocked when I heard him talk. Thought it was a voice-over or something. Used to it now though.

This thread will bring out unintentional and intentional racist thoughts whether we want to admit it or not. With that being said, i will give my answer and it was already said.

Kwame Brown. Not because of his race, but because he was 17-18 years old the first time I heard him speak.

This is off topic but in football Carlos Rogers thick southern accent really through me off. Even when Randy Moss speaks I get thrown off on his country accent. I think its kinda cool though lol
Kwame Brown is servicable, get over it.
