Just for fun one year (and because my friends said it couldn't be done) I drafted a team of all white players for a H2H league. It actually didn't do as bad as you'd think.

It was 3-4 years ago before guys like Calderon & Brad Miller completely fell off. I believe I had some combo of:
Dirk, Brad Miller, Calderon, Mike Miller, Nash, Jason Williams, Kirilenko, Biedrins, Dunleavy, Gasol (Pau, obviously), Peja, etc.

From what I remember it was really easy to fill PF/C and PG but REALLY hard to grab a good SG/SF.

I tied for 1st (but finished second due to a tie-breaker) a Yahoo H-H league championship a few years ago with an all caucasion team. I named it "Eurotrash".

My draft:

that is absolutely hilarious lol, although it might be a stretch with pau and manu, it still works if you don't get too in depth, much props to you lol

Yeah... no way Pau Gasol or Manu Ginobli are considered white players. Pau is a light Spaniard but he's definitely of Latin descent as well as Manu. Nice try though.

I'm pretty sure that Gasol considers himself white, perhaps because he is as white as an Irish ginger and because Spain as a whole is very nationalistic (... perhaps even racist) and I'm pretty sure they don't rally against caucasians.

I don't especially see the comparison.

Cubans are a very diverse people with a wide based ancestry and even technically by census from Cuba around 65% of Cubans considered white, while 68% considered black or to 51% mulatto from third party census and research depending on which one you go by, etc.

Edit: And me personally, I always considered Cubans Hispanic and figured most Cubans to agree, which is what all my Cuban friends always said themselves.
