fine


best point guard = steve nash (white canadian)
best shooter = jason kapono (white american)
best defender = euros cant defend
best dunker = chris andersen (white american)
best center = gerg ostertag (white american)


So yr saying that Nash, Kapono, Ostertag. Andersen > (take your pick) Dirk, Calderon, Bargnani, Stojakovic, Gasol (P or M), Ilgauskas, Kirilenko, turkoglu...etc???

A team comprised of the best current players from US territories who can be considered white (European ancestry) would beat a team of the best European players if the game were played with NBA rules.

If I miss some names for the US players please feel free to add. I will leave the European list up to anyone who wants to dispute.

PG Steve Blake - Jose Barea - T Diener
SG Hinrich - Mike Miller - Redick
SF Korver - Dunleavy - Kapono - Szczerbiak
PF Love - D Lee - Murphy - Amundson -L Walton - Scalabrine
C Kaman - Birdman - Przybilla - Brad Miller - Foster

Are you joking?

Parker – Calderon – Udrih – Ukic - Dragic
Fernandez – Pietrus - Azubuike – Vujacic – Sefolosha - Belinelli
Turkoglu – Kirilenko – Diaw – Deng – Stojakovic – Radmanovic – Kleiza - Batum
Nowitzki – P. Gasol – Bargnani – Krstic – Turiaf - Songaila
Okur – Ilgauskas – Biedrins – M. Gasol – Pachulia – Milicic

Maybe there's a big hole at shooting guard position, but I think a team like that could beat your one any day.

Parker, Pietrus, Azubuike, Diaw, Deng, Batum, Sefolosha and Turiaf do not belong in this thread. If you have trouble figuring out why on your own, then you need to go back to the beginning of this thread and read EVERY post in it. Thank you for your participation.

Ok sorry. I read only the last posts. But my opinion remains still the same.

Calderon – Udrih – Ukic – Dragic - Rodriguez
Fernandez – Vujacic – Belinelli - Pavlovic
Turkoglu – Kirilenko – Stojakovic – Radmanovic – Kleiza - Gallinari
Nowitzki – P. Gasol – Bargnani – Krstic – Songaila
Okur – Ilgauskas – Biedrins – M. Gasol – Pachulia – Milicic – Nesterovic - Gortat

It's a little bit more challenging, but a Euro team like that is still superior than a white American team.
