    Where is the National outrage?

    Where is his employer (does he have one) firing him?

    Where is Stephen A Smith condemning him?

    For whatever stupid reason, this piece of shit is famous. Had a white famous person said this, his world would be fucked.

    We have made it okay in current society to hate white people and for white people in general to sit and apologize for things they had no control over. This will see no outrage, no nothing. Which is funny because Adam Silver has made this league even more "progressive" yet Lavar Ball will still be allowed to say outrageous shit just so he can try to advance his brand. I personally didn't care when I heard it as a white person. Kinda used to it at this point and it's becoming pathetic. "dear white people" this and blah blah blah.

    Blah blah blah. Best to pay that psychopath no mind either way.

    If we can't have a legit discussion without people being afraid to offend I'm just gonna ignore the whole topic. In general that is, with this guy I'll just ignore him entirely and I suggest everyone does the same.

    Manu isn't white.

    Rubio isn't white.

    Thompson isn't white.

    So really you have Miller, Korver, Hayward, Jason Williams, Dragic, and Redick. Out of those guys, Hayward is the only really good player.

    Also, the number of American born players on that list is depressing.

    Well you what to look at most of the white people in the USA ancestor are from European countries. So the player from there I would consider white.

    As big of a marketing blowhard as Papa Ball is, he really missed the boat in naming his kids. They should have been Foot, Basket, and Base. Think of the trademark potential.

    It's still a tiny tiny list of players compared to the total number of NBA players in the past 15 years.

    Europeans aren't considered white now? please. Oh, they are european now huh? well I am Italian and guess what? I am considered white. Meanwhile all of my ancestors on both sides came from Europe. Okay dude you win, yes the league suffers because of white people, lavar is so right. White people are just shit at basketball, blacks win, blacks win!!!

    you aren't understanding by what he is saying, it's retarded. It's seriously stupid to think that way. Sure there definitely isn't as many great white players as black in the league by far. Lets not act like though that there has been no great white players. From Larry Bird to Mchale and Stockton, Mark price, Chris Mullin, Pistol pete, Jerry west, rick barry, bob cousy, john havlicek, etc. A lot of good white bigs. It's no competition here obviously but to say that shit lavar did and back it, you are ignorant plain and simple.

    And before you say Manu isn't european, yeah I know, south America. Point is you put him in America, he is considered white. That is his skin color. Stop with that shit
