Could Kevin Love go down as the best Caucasian ever?

[QUIZZLE]

What say you?

[LongLiveTheKing]

No.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

:lol :lol
Larry Bird his rookie year was better than Love now:lol :lol :facepalm

[Im so nba'd out]

[SamuraiSWISH]

No, empty stats ... NEVER produces towards actual wins for a supposed statistically dominant superstar.

He's nice ... but HELL NO.

Bird, and Jerry West are the baddest white muffukers to ever lace them up. With Dirk possibly coming in third place, though I lean towards John Stockton.

Kevin Love is no George Mikan.

Cmon nikka................Stockton over DIRK:biggums: :biggums: :biggums:
Dirk has better case over Jerry West than Stockton touchin Dirk:biggums:

[inclinerator]

yes, if he finds a cure for cancer along with mortality, he'd probably be the best Caucasian ever

[TheMilkyBarKid]

Op just wiped his ass with the great names of larry bird, jerry west, dirk nowitzki and bill walton.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Dirk has better case over Jerry West than Stockton
No he doesn't. Dirk is one dimensional compared to West. Jerry's numbers given his shooting range, and where he typically shot from would be ABSURD with the three point line.

[Prometheus]

Don't get carried away and distracted with such a stupid argument. This is one of the worst OP in recent memory

[moe94]

No he doesn't. Dirk is one dimensional compared to West. Jerry's numbers given his shooting range, and where he typically shot from would be ABSURD with the three point line.

This sounds silly because it is, but Dirk is lucky as hell 2011 happened. People went crazy with this "greatness" junk when he was basically considered a choker. No one talks about any of that shit anymore. You'd think he was winning championships left and right like he's Duncan or something with the way some people view him now.

[LeGOAT]

Say out loud " Kevin Love could be better than Bird", then slap the shit out of yourself for how dumb you sound

[MichaelCorleone]

:roll:

[fpliii]

Greatest? I guess anything's possible if he all of a sudden finds himself in a very, very favorable situation.

But he will never be a better player than Bird (or Walton at his best), that is an absolute certainty.

[red1]

LOL. This thread is disrespect to the other caucasian greats

[KG215]

Just gonna pretend OP somehow forgot that Larry Bird, Jerry West, and Bill Walton ever existed. Dirk and John Stockton, too. Oh, and then there's players like John Havlicek, Bob Pettit, and maybe even Kevin McHale.

But yeah, sure, if we can just pretend none of those guys ever existed then Kevin Love can enter the conversation for GOAT Caucasian.

[miggyme1]

if kevin love can win some rings maybe but as of now nah i still take

jerry west
john stockton
bob cousy
larry bird
gail goodrich
rick barry
mark price

before him

ps. i know dirk is technically white but he is foreign so im not counting him

[sportjames23]

Best Caucasian what?

Caucasians qualify for a lot of things.

Oh, OP talkin bout basketball. Ok, then, do like LeGoat says and slap the shit outta yourself.

[moe94]

ps. i know dirk is technically white but he is foreign so im not counting him
:biggums:

[MichaelCorleone]

No mention of Mikan?:facepalm

[BuffaloBill]

:lol :lol
Larry Bird his rookie year was better than Love now:lol :lol :facepalm


larry bird now is better than kevin love now

[miles berg]

He will never be close to Bird or Dirk.

Ever.

[miggyme1]

:biggums:


cant read?

[moe94]

cant read?

Because that was the issue, right? What does it matter if they're foreign on whether or not they're white? You're talking strictly white Americans. Guess what? No one gives a shit. :oldlol:

[oarabbus]

What say you?

[MightyWhitey]

Larry Bird is the mightiest of the Whitiest to ever ball. Has Love even been in a playoff game?

[Kiddlovesnets]

Hes nowhere close to Larry Bird now, dont see he ever surpassing Bird but I can be wrong. It all depends if he improves his so-far nonexistent defense and leads his team to wins rather than simply posting up meaningless stats.

[CavaliersFTW]

Jerry West and Larry Bird are at the top of that argument, guys like Pettit, Dirk, and and quite a long list of others arguably better and/or greater than Love.

[SamuraiSWISH]

This sounds silly because it is
Silly these nuts, moe. With your corny old self. Dirk is one dimensional in comparison to West. There isn't anything factually wrong about that statement one bit. Compared to his era, West was better. Flat out.

[Cold soul]

Nope, not even close. Just on top of my head Bird, West, and Dirk were all the superior players compared to Love with the munch better resume and accolades.

[Black and White]

Bird Bird Bird Bird Bird

[russwest0]

Stockton, Kidd, Cousy
West, Havlicek
Bird, Barry
Dirk, McHale
Walton, Petit

are all guys he's gonna have to go through. So in short: hell no.

[RedBlackAttack]

People don't seem to realize how great Bill Walton was prior to his injuries, which was an admittedly short run. Still, at his peak, he's on the short list of best white players of all-time. Certainly comfortably in front of Love.

Walton led a team to the NBA Title as a 24-year-old third year player for god's sake.

[AirFederer]

never in a million years

[Cali Syndicate]

No love for mullin or Nash?

[East_Stone_Ya]

no Stockton and Bird have the top spot secured

[Myth]

Larry Bird man...:facepalm

Don't you mean Dragic?

[SHAQisGOAT]

:biggums:

What kind of question is that? Seriously?

Bird is top5 all-time with a top5 peak and you think Love's gonna surpass that? :facepalm

Shit he's still FAR from dudes like West, Pettit, Barry, Walton, and on, and on, and on (also dude like Dirk if you want to mention non-american), despite the fact that he's a great baller and the #1 PF in the league imho.

[IMObjective]

This sounds silly because it is, but Dirk is lucky as hell 2011 happened. People went crazy with this "greatness" junk when he was basically considered a choker. No one talks about any of that shit anymore. You'd think he was winning championships left and right like he's Duncan or something with the way some people view him now.
I concur. I always felt it was a bit funny that one championship run, albeit a great one, erased years of playoff chokes, catapulting him to legendary status. Advantage of being caucasian maybe? To be fair, i guess it was legendary the way he kept taking out one heavily favored team after another.

I'd say the next great player for caucasians to hang their hats on is goran dragic. I remember watching the Lakers play the suns during one of their championship runs and thinking this guy's gonna be a big star one day. He doesn't play like your typical European white guy.
EDIT: not saying he'll reach someone like bird.

[ralph_i_el]

Yup the wolves never win and when they do it's because of JJ Barea. Nothing to see here folks.

Also if you don't see that the Wolves are under .500 by fluke, then just stop. They have a +4 average margin. They'll be fine.

[alenleomessi]

high school larry bird was light years ahead of current kevin love... hell college brad miller was better than the empty stats chucker..

[mr.big35]

currently he is the best white player in the nba. love is better than dirk in every aspect of the game.

Unbelievable that you guys are even responding seriously to this question. It's disrespectful to the entire white race.

He'll never be better than or accomplish more than this guy:

In basketball? Clearly Hitler is Caucasian GOAT.

[MavsSuperFan]

He is not even top 3 post 2000.

Dirk, Nash and Gasol have him beat.
Yes prime Gasol was better than current love.

Depending on if you consider ginobili caucasian as well, he would also be better.
personally would rather have marc gasol too.

[tomtucker]

In basketball? Clearly Hitler is Caucasian GOAT.

:facepalm :rolleyes: .............he had dark hair

[Rubio2Gasol]

If he went to the Lakers and won about 5 rings maybe he could be #3 behind Bird and West.
