We have a winner here


I remember a couple of years ago, during Lebron's first year back with the Cavs, they were practicing at UCLA on the day of the Lakers-Cavs game. As predicted, a bunch of UCLA students, including me, were waiting for the Cavs to leave practice and to take pictures with them. They would leave one by one with the assistants leaving first. The first player to leave was Dellavedova, who was on his phone trying to look busy, but no one knew who he was as he looked nothing like a NBA player, and more like a UCLA student hahaha. I was even kinda confused too. As he walked by us, I shouted out, "Dellavedova?" and he waved back at us, but majority of students still had no idea. Five months later, he would have his 15 minutes of fame during the NBA Finals.

They all look like professional athletes to me when compared to common people.

Nah, not that Steve Kerr pic. Geez. He looks like the bad guy from the Karate Kid though, the leader of the Cobra Kai.

Kurt Rambis, who played for the lakers could easily be mistaken for a science teacher at the time lol

Correction: redneck, not science teacher. Big difference. But I could stereotype him as a high school sports coach.

Kevin Willis always struck me as someone who should be the dad on an all black sitcom.

Looked like he was 48 at all times.

Seems like it's very difficult to be a black player and not look like you belong.

Yeah but it doesn't mean those players are bad, Novak & Singler can shoot, Fournier is a good player, Barea was actually a key bench guy in the Mavs 2011 run to the title. There are other players who are non-white players that I could not envision as NBA players, few names that come to mind, Dickey Simpkins, Spud Webb, Sean Rooks...that's just my opinion.

Predictably this has turned into name all the white nba players for the last 30 years.
