D-Will
Nash
Kidd
Dirk
Gasol
Griff
Ginobli
Kevin Love
John Stockton
Chris Mullin

They'd easily dominate any earlier era

[HoopDreams247]

Deron Williams, Kidd, and Griffin are not white

[pauk]

Deron Williams, Kidd, and Griffin are not white

They are neither, they are mulatto

[SourPatchKids]

Deron Williams, Kidd, and Griffin are not white
Half Black/ Half White= Supersaiyan. Take Gabe York for example... I'm sure he'll turn out better than Austin Rivers.

[iDunkOreo]

Also half black/half white. Feelsgoodman.:pimp:

[Poetry]

We should make two lists:

An American group and an international group.

[Callystarr]

They are neither, they are mulatto

Do you even know what mulatto means? I think many forget that the term mulatto is more associated with Slaves & their masters offspring...

Of course more urban usage has made it more common as just having a white and black parent..

[Myth]

They are neither, they are mulatto

They are neither what? That statement indicates that he suggested a different options, but he just said they are not white, which is true.

[stallionaire]

Love

Didnt know that, interesting... but I am more used to that latter usage of that word like so many else...

[ZaaaaaH]

50's = Mikan

60's = West

70's = Barry

80's = Bird

90's = Stockton

00's = Nash

10's = Love

[pauk]

Neither = Not the one nor the other.

That word/statement indicates that somebody is neither no matter if the poster said "he is not white/black/red/purple/yellow/brown/pink/silver/gold"... which is true...

[Myth]

Neither = Not the one nor the other.

That word/statement indicates that somebody is neither no matter if the poster said "he is not white/black/red/purple/yellow/brown/pink/silver/gold"... which is true...

Right, "not the one nor the other" indicates 2 options. He only mentioned one option: white. If he had said "They are not white, they are black," then neither would have made sense.

[pauk]

Right, "not the one nor the other" indicates 2 options. He only mentioned one option: white.

It doesnt matter what one option he, you or the pope mentioned, it doesnt matter if you said Griffin is not white or not red or not black or not pink or whatever color you choose.... he is neither of anything... It is aimed towards what for example Griffin is, he is neither of whatever color you hypothetically would or could have said....

"Neither" doesnt have to indicate that HoopDreams247 suggested a different option, in this context and my meaning it indicates that Griffin is neither of those two options WE ALL KNOW he is part of and it indicates that no matter what of those two options HoopDreams247 could really use to say "that they are not" (white or black) he/they are neither, which is true...

That he is not "white" (or black or whatever) is also true... but that he is "neither" rules out the argument of using any of the two options to hypothetically try and classify him by and it also saves you the time of trying to explain what color he is not...

Get it? :)

I'm sorry you don't understand what neither means.

And even if you were using it correctly, you say it rules out any 2 options, which you showed is false when you presented the option of them being "mulatto." So the two options could have been "white or mulatto," in which case you would not use "neither" because you yourself stated they are mulatto.

[TheeBeast]

Next thread title: Top 10 mulatto NBA players of all time

The best ones were already accidentally identified as white :lol

And might as well just do the last 20 years or so. Wasn't as much race mixing going on in the 50s and 60s.

If we dont stop now we will be overanalyzing this to death :oldlol:

Griffin is not black
Griffin is not white
Griffin is neither
Griffin is mulatto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulatto)
Griffin is not chinese
Griffin is not a dog
Griffin likes to flop?

All true, profit, yay...

[Myth]

Griffin is not black
Griffin is not white
Griffin is neither


Finally, you used it right. :applause:

[Sakkreth]

If we are talking bout skin colour then Griffin is white, because well his skin colour is light or you could say white... Doesn't really matter tho as he has no business being in this thread.

[wakencdukest]

Lets get real here, Half black combined with anything else= Black. They all gravitate that way.

[TheeBeast]

Real is this: When you're half black/white, you're white around white people and black around black people. When you're around both, you're neutral. Its basically the best of both worlds, if you know how to use it correctly.

[miller-time]

Taking out those biracial players I'd add Detlef Schrempf, Dan Majerle, and Mark Price.

[Euroleague]

Deron Williams, Kidd, and Griffin are not white

True. They are not black either.

[Euroleague]

Lets get real here, Half black combined with anything else= Black. They all gravitate that way.

Let's be real here. You are RACIST.

[Miller for 3]

Nash isn't white, he's Canadian.

[Euroleague]

Nash isn't white, he's Canadian.

Don't start that shit.

[miller-time]

Nash isn't white, he's Canadian.

African Canadian.

[Miller for 3]

Don't start that shit.

What shit? Euros and Canadians arent white. Novak, Lee, Buddinger, Curry, Lin, Love, Singler, etc.are white. Calderon, Rubio, Shved, etc .are Euros. Nash is Canadian. Griffin is Ginger.

[TheeBeast]

What shit? Euros and Canadians arent white. Novak, Lee, Buddinger, Curry, Lin, Love, Singler, etc.are white. Calderon, Rubio, Shved, etc .are Euros. Nash is Canadian. Griffin is Ginger.

So the word "white" in the context of a people's skin color only applies to an American born person? That's highly exclusive for such a broad term if you ask me.

[Myth]

Much sense is here thread made.

[TheeBeast]

The term "whites" from the standpoint of a non-white (skin) would probably consider anyone who has white skin, white. So why do we choose to group even our own skin color into different categories based on our nationality? Could it be because we've come to a point where we've become so exclusive as the US that we can't categorize our ethnicity with with our own European ancestry?

White = American born person
so
American born person = Michael Jordan
so
Michael Jordan = White

:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Segatti]

Kidd is not white? Lol. You need blonde hair to be white?

[STATUTORY]

Kidd is not white? Lol. You need blonde hair to be white?

Chandler parsons needs to be on that list

2nd coming of bird

[TheeBeast]

White = American born person

American born person = Michael Jordan

:eek: :eek: :eek:
I obviously meant American born white person, or did you totally miss that?

[midatlantic09]

Stop including biracial players.

[QuebecBaller]

I obviously meant American born white person, or did you totally miss that?

I was just making fun of those who said that euro or canadian aren't white... that only american can be white

nothing against you :cheers:

[TheeBeast]

I actually meant... did you miss the joke?

:roll: :roll: :roll:

:banana:

[QuebecBaller]

White is a color, not a nationality

Dirk = German = White

Stojakovic is definitely up there too, he was once an MVP candidate,

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Your point made more sense when I misread it as Michael Jackson.

Blake Griffin = American = White?

[midatlantic09]

Blake Griffin = American = White?

One needs two white parents to truly classify as white. Someone with a black father is not white.

[Myth]

One needs two white parents to truly classify as white. Someone with a black father is not white.

Oh, I misunderstood, but now I get it:

Manu Ginobili = Argentinian = White

[TheeBeast]

Well at least we finally agreed that white= skin color and not ethnicity

[Myth]

Well at least we finally agreed that white= skin color and not ethnicity

So then Griffin does count. This is confusing.

[knickswin]

dirk is the best

then nash
then pau
the I I guess Stock and Ginobili

then it gets not so great

[TheeBeast]

So then Griffin does count. This is confusing.
It has to be true. I mean, he isn't black :confusedshrug:

[Myth]

It has to be true. I mean, he isn't black :confusedshrug:

Does that mean Jeremy Lin is white too? Because he also is not black.

[TheeBeast]

dirk is the best

then nash

the I I guess Stock and Ginobili

Kidd is right above Pau. D-Will is above Ginobli and Blake could go below both.

[TheeBeast]

Does that mean Jeremy Lin is white too? Because he also is not black.
Defniately white. But he isn't even a top 10 white currently

[knickswin]

Kidd is right above Pau.D-will is above Kidd, and Blake could go below Ginobli

I'm not counting kidd and blake as white though ...

I'm going to define white as "mostly causasian ancestry"

[Myth]

Defniately white. But he isn't even a top 10 white currently :oldlol:

Is Luol Deng still top 10 white? He is British after all.

[TheeBeast]

Is Luol Deng still top 10 white? He is British afterall.

We agreed white is color and not ethnicity.

[Myth]

We agreed white is color and not ethnicity.

But his parents aren't mixed race. I thought that was the issue. Luol's parents are definitely not mixed race, and he is British, so therefore he is white.

[TheeBeast]

But his parents aren't mixed race. I thought that was the issue. Luol's parents are definitely not mixed race, and he is British, so therefore he is white.
Are they both white?

Are they both white?

I'm going by QuebecBaller's reasoning.
