    Thank you. Thought so about Griffin. Wasn't sure about Noah. Does Noah have a black parent?

    Yes, Joakim's father is Yannick Noah, a former professional tennis player, while his mother is of Swedish/French descent (blonde hair & blue eyes). Meanwhile, Blake Griffin's dad is black while his mom is a ginger woman with extremely pale skin.

    Is one of your parents gay? Is one of them a minority? Is that any of my business?

    No and I have no problem answering those questions. Also, the rules are different for public figures when it comes to whether it's someone's business.

    And by the way, so many of you have discriminated against white American players on this message board. Are you curious as to whether Leonard is white?

    So many? That is not even close to true. Only mm was referring to white American born centers sucking. Then it was pretty much everyone else slamming him for that statement.
