I found the white guys.

At center, they are pretty much 50% of the legit talent pool. Gortat representing for the Wizards.

Bogut is a great example of how a big white dude can contribute.

But how many of them are White Americans? That's what this discussion has been about.

So is 70% African American and 20% of the league is international?

White American kids are more likely to play football, baseball or even soccer than basketball.

White American millenials are too busy pussifying American cities with CVS, Starbucks and Whole Foods stores on every city block, snowball fighting, playing kickball and being urban pioneers so they could give a damn about playing professional basketball.

Lacrosse, golf, tennis, hockey too, in some parts. Cross country is another sport that's mostly white. Football, basketball, and track and field were the sports with majority black participation that I remember.

As for Vesely, he was scared of the FT line more than anything. Makes you useless as an offensive player. He came in with an issue about FTs but it got way worse with the jump in competition and the increased scrutiny of the NBA.

And changing positions certainly help him get comfortable either.

White American kids are also very busy forming bands and performing in bands that absolutely suck balls.

This Jew is the HNIC of the Univision network.
A Jew in control of a major television network.
Shocking news I know.


He's the south of the border version of Donald Sterling.

Technically, wouldn't he be the HJIC?

I mean, let's keep our perjoratives and slurs pristine. If we interchange jargon among races and ethnicities why the next thing you know we'll have miscegenation of such magnitude that there'll be tolerance, equity, fairness, openness, peace, love and all that yuppie ish!

Whoever that dude is I'm not mad at him! He's got a handful on his hands and he's obviously the boss man.

(WTA, that guy's a comedian, isn't he? He looks quite familiar. He does a lot of Spanish speaking game shows IIRC).

Are the Lopez twins white?

Here is an interesting list. Gives some flavor to how people are from all over. Even Americans born overseas.

Their father is Afro Cuban.
Their uncle was a pitcher for the Orioles.

His television show has been on the air for over 50 years.
He is quite the ladies man.

He reminds me of Chuck Daly (Daddy Rich is what John Salley and others called Chuck).

Makes me feel not so bad about young girls smiling at me of late.

In 2002, Kreutzberger's show completed 40 years, and its host said he has no plans to retire before the day he dies[citation needed].

WTA, for this guy and Bon ("I've Got Big Balls") Scott ... I gotta say THANKS. Never knew about either of them but both are immediately iconic types I doubt I'll ever forget.

Both are interesting as all heck! Hate to say I relate to both of them, but ... I do.
