Title: Are there more WHITE boys in the NBA now than before? (past 20 years or so)
Post by: IRAN iz Gangsta! on March 22, 2010, 04:36:41 PM
white boys i mean even europeans and international players...basically non-blacks


seems like there are alot more of them now than before, i guess it was the 80s were the black players started becoming more and more. 


i personally like the international scene in NBA, brings competition and experience rather than recruiting some college kids who end being a bust many times.

look at amount of legit HOF white players who have played since LArry Bird retired in 1992


john stockton (1st ballot HOFer), steve nash (2 time MVP, borderline HOF candidate), Dirk Nowitzki  (best 7 foot shooter of all time lol)





thats 3 players....not very good if you're trying to market toward young white kids



same situation MLB is in with young african americans who lean toward NBA and NFL instead

Lol seriously. Gasol and Farmar were both valuable pieces, but Vujacic, Morrison, and Walton are all scrubs who are easily replaceable.

walton does the dirty work, he was very instrumental for the win, morrison is an excellent shooter, i barely see him miss, he'll be needed. Vujacic is whatever, he has his moments but yea he can be gone.

When Walton isn't injuried he is a good ball handler, but doesn't really do dirty work. Morrison is a bust, Vujacic is useless, Farmer is WAY to inconsistent, and Gasol is the only godd player amongst them.

there pretty much isnt any white hofers out of the 3 already mentioned, but i think pau will be a hofer mayb ginobli



all the other guys, okur, AK-47, kaman, etc etc are just medicore one-two time all stars. their more than solid, but i would never EVER build a team around them.

it really doesnt matter how many white or black people in it, just how many good white and black people are in it.


o yea even though yao isnt white, hes a hofer for sure.

mayb, but solid player? hell no hes an all star


to me a solid player is a guy that can get atleast 10 a night and atleast  5 in their respective catagory ( 5 assist for guards, 5 rebounds for c's and fowards)



derek fisher (before he felll off), travis outlaw, micheal beasley, jamal crawford, jason terry,  etc etc u get what im saying.



gasol is far from "just solid" he wasnt THE franchise player but he was the grizzlies franchise player but not at the superstar level.

if pippin gets in the HOF and james worthy (whos already in the hof) than i dont undserstand why gasol wouldnt be.


i mean garnett, timmy, bosh, stoudamire, dirk,  and gasol has the same amount of talent and skill as them and puts up similiar numbers so i dont understand why he wouldnt be considered as one.

and gasol doesnt deserve to be in the 2nd tier group with the likes of david west, zach randolph, josh smith, rashard lewis, luis scola, spencer hawes, antwain jamison, rasheed wallace, boozer cuz hes more than that
