Big Slam, your my man 50 grand and all, but I have to place a challenge on your draft pick. Lopez isn't White, he's a certified Cuban ( I think) but he's not white. His name's Lopez and his brother has a fro', he can't be white!


i think he is mixed with white and cuban

I think that Lopez can pass as white for the sake of this game.

Naaaaaa man. You've heard the kid talk. Way too much treble and not nearly enough bass in his voice to be anything other than white!!

Don't let the voice fool you, look at Tiger Woods, he's a classic case of a non white with caucasian like vocal cords and voice fluctuation. But I'll agree with Lopez though mostly cause I want to use Jason Kidd for my white guy. They're both tweeners that could go either way.

Jason Kidd is in my opinion a much worse case of "tweener" than Lopez.

I may have opened a can of worms here, but...........

TBH I didn't think Lopez was controversial at all and that he was a clear cut for the cat.

I can change it if people like though? I dont want my pick to screw the game or start to bring into question guys like Kidd (who I don't think fits the cat at all) or Blake Griffin - who could cause some debate.

Big Slam I'm just teasing with you about Lopez. It's a good selection, Blake Griffin would be another good selection, I think he's even whiter than Jason Kidd! Joking.

I know in one of the threads on the GB that eventually got all racist, but when it was still productive some Europeans were saying that only in the Americas are European looking Caribbean/Central/South Americans NOT considered white. So I vote for Lopez as white.

Lopez name is Spanish, and Spain is considered a part of Europe and only our white skinned brethren come from that region so it's all good. Robin's afro kind of threw me off but Slam reminding me of their voice pretty much proved his case.

in hindsight, i think we could have gotten away with only putting lebron, kobe, wade and howard on the do not draft list this year. the second tier is probably deep enough that everyone would have had a crack at a similarly talented player such as: paul, deron, melo, dirk, duncan, bosh, amare, durant, roy, gasol... well thats 10... and theres a few more that are in that are close in talent.

slam had to pick lopez in the white cat so he could still have a shot at twill in the beast of the least cat. ;) just dont let twill play pg. we saw in summer league that he only looks for his own shot... 19shots per game.

Just curious but by European you mean nationality or where they are playing?

Like can I select Manu under the non- European column?

15 shots per game on 44% shooting (50% from 3) and 5apg to go along with it - all in only 28mpg.

The kid is a stud but haters gots to keep on hate'n!!

I should have drafted him before Lopez.

what happened to ball teacher? he was on here last night when it was his pick but he never picked.

we cant keep going 12 hours between each pick or we will never finish.

regardless, his 12 hour window to pick is up. he can pick when he is ready. coolio, go ahead.
