Who is the best white American in the NBA?



And just so some of you uneducated fools don't make yourselves look silly, Steve Nash is Canadian.

I'm saying David Lee myself.


K Love just plays on a bad team where no one else even tries. The Timberwolves just watch him go running for the ball.

1) This tread is pointless and subtlely racist (remember racism can be both complimentary or derogatory).

2) Arguing over whether a player is 'white' or 'black' isn't helpful. 85% of the American black population is somewhere inbetween. You think you're to decide?

What? You can't be for real!


Racist? Racism means you have a prejudice against someone of a different race than you are. Who is saying that? No one. Stop trying to make this into something it's not.

I also said American, does that make me a xenophobe?


What if I asked who the best 7 footers of all time were, would I be prejudice against 6'11 guys?

Get real. It was a simple question that had nothing to do with prejudice. You're just another in the long line of trolls who try to make the NBA about race when it should be about the game!

half this, half that... If we want to talk about white player, can we only talk about true white player? Love, Lee, Redick, Ammo, Scal...

If I pay somebody to paint my wall (or car) white, and he painted it with a light gray or light brown or cream or whatever, I won't pay for it, because I asked for white. Not something that can look like white

Funny how some people (on this thread and in real life I have met) will refer to Blake as the "light skinned brother." Same with Stephen Curry. Many from the Black community will claim a person as their own even if they are as little as 10% black.

On the other hand, Shane Battier was reportedly ostracized by both the Black and white communities. He was not street enough, didn't speak with that hip hop accent and jargon. He didn't play with the swag of a street baller and didn't dunk that often, if ever. He didn't count as "one of them" but was not white enough to hang at the country club.

You didn't say United States. You just said America, technically someone could mention someone from North, Central, or South America and still be mentioning a player from 'America'

What kind of nonsense is going on in this thread? One can't have a full black parent and classify as white. You may classify them as biracial, but that's the furthest you can technically go with that (although most who are a mix of black/white are usually classified as black by the masses). This thread should be limited to NBA players who have two, full white parents and were raised in the US.

That said, the answer is Kevin Love.
