Who are the 10 best white guys in the NBA?

[tamaraw08]

How is this a thread?

Because we need to put the White Mamba on the list.

[uncleduck13]

History ?

- Bird
- Nowitzki
- Stockton
- Jokić
- Jerry West
- Dončić
- Maravich
- Havlicek
- Dražen Petrović
- McHale

Bonus :
- Pau Gasol
- Mikan
- Cousy
- Mullin
- Pettit
- Bill Walton
- Rick Barry
- Steve Nash


Current :

- Jokić
- Dončić
- Sabonis
- Porzingis
- Chet
- Markkanen
- Şengün
- Franz Wagner
- Giddey
- Reaves/Bojan Bogdanović

Nash not being in the top 10 and at the very bottom of the ‘bonus’ is so blatantly intentional. Disgusting.

This thread might be derailed, but some good white guys currently, even Americans have Chet and Flagg coming, in recent times, US had some absence of good white players, before Chet, I guess the best one was Herro for a while? Love before that? Gordon Hayward.

Not the best, but I like Payton Pritchards game. I think he is one of those guys who would be great in Europe, or on 3x3. I remember, during summer, that these American guys have these rec league games, Pritchard played with bunch of randoms, and against Euroleague Mike James and bunch of randoms, remember watching extended highlights of that, the latent level of these NBA/kind off NBA level guys and the rest was crazy, Pritchard and James were cooking everyone, and they guarded each other a lot, but were still cooking each other.

Threads about White players never get derailed. Posters will give their lists.

I'd take LaVine & Aaron Gordon over Giddey & Reaves/Bogdanovic, but other than that, good list.

Neither is White by current definitions. They are both biracial.

I just got word that Jason Kidd, Steph Curry, Jason Tatum and Devin Booker are now 100% white


The blacks get Bird and Luka

Spoiler:

sorry I know I’m gonna get The thread locked...but it’s ridiculous anyway lol

[prophet_of_rage]

Best white players of all-time:

1. Jokic
2. Dirk
3. Stockton
4. Bird
5. West
6. Nash
7. Manu
8. Mikan
9. Pau
10. Pettit

Manu’s not white.

Wouldn’t he just be classified as a white Hispanic in the same way that Elon’s a white African?

Isn't he of Italian descent. He's White.

Don’t forget Gola, Petit, Cunningham, Bradley and Barry.

Not too sure he's even a top 5 German born NBA player

He ain’t 100% black....I assure you of that

[aemannarwal]

What do you define as a white? Going back one generation or two or three ?

[wojoaderge]

but then again is an Israeli really a true "caucasian" Sengun already kind of stretches it with Turkey, Israel is more of the middle east and brown people type

Okay

I almost took the bait as well but it's clear that's exactly what he was going for when he put Nash at the bottom and Stockton 3rd on his top 10 list.

Yes, fun to watch, in an era where the stats were not inflated like the Nash era.
He was also a better defender than Nash (but who isn't ?)

Nash is vastly overrated to me, but fun to watch too.

probably Maravich, according to everything I have read about him

Steve Nash Drtg : 110.5
Pete Maravich Drtg : 102.2

Next time, try to find better sources for your knowledge.

wow, this is an amazing analysis, thank you!
I asbolutely stand corrected.

[Ryoga Hibiki]

Manu’s not white.

just wondering, what the hell is "white" supposed to mean for you guys?
I have studied Latin for many years and I can still read it some, am I a Latino?

How is this a thread?

Because there's no actual moderation here unless you call someone a turd.

[Up-And-Coming]

Euros are at the top of the list. Current American-White list is pretty interesting too:

Chet
Caruso?
Reaves/Herro
Grayson
DiVincenzo
Kessler
Strus
Robinson
Podziemski

[NightWatch]

Is there a reason why nobody mention Manu Ginbolli?

[UcanUwill]

probably Maravich, according to everything I have read about him

Steve Nash Drtg : 110.5
Pete Maravich Drtg : 102.2

Next time, try to find better sources for your knowledge.

And there is a strong illustration. Individual DRTG isn't really of value in direct comparison... nor is it in any way salient to stat inflation in the given eras... Have yourself a nice day.

How can anyone even compare d ratings of players who played like 20 years apart from each other, ridiculous. I mean, Nash played in more defense centric era, so I am not trying to say he should not have higher d rating, but what kind of comparison is this. I swear some people have no clue how stats work. If eDiff was compared, than at leats we would have some kind of point.

What do you define as a white? Going back one generation or two or three ?

What do you define as black? If it’s the one drop rule - it has to go both ways or…. You guessed it… you racist

This is casual racism among friends I guess ?

I don’t get it -

Like being white makes you worse at basketball?

If you think that - you got some bias
