    Why not break it down even further, depending on how much coffee and how much cream each one has?

    But Jimmer was a bust.

    Lol at 6 white players on old Utah team. They were so racist back then. It wasn't that they didn't take good players. It was just, if fit's close, they took the white guy.

    Four? Four?! How the hell did this happen? What kind of delusional, pasty faced, set shot, "When It Was A Game" fantasy are we living in! Pretty soon the entire team wI'll be listening to BTO and doing the "rock sockem" robot hip shake.

    Kind of amazing they were so good, really.

    Of course, they also managed to find the only black redneck in league history.

    Yeah, The Mailman was probably "whiter" in his behavior than many of his Caucasian non-Hispanic teammates. How many NBA players drive semis and wear cowboy boots?

    But, that's the kind of diversity that makes the world great. Why the fuck shouldn't a black guy drive a semi and wear cowboy boots, if that's what he wants to do?

    I went back to my old high school this summer for an event. Couldn't believe the amount of kids playing Lacrosse. I mean it was almost as many the football team. I know there's a pro league but don't know how popular it is.

    I don't think Fallout is an esports game.

    Hey, if a black guy in Sweden wants to drive a tractor trailer rig and wear cowboy boots, who are we to judge?

    Keep in mind this is AMERICAN white players, not white players period. Notice the Mavs are on the list of 0, and I'm pretty sure they have a white guy. There are actually more white players in the league now than there were in 1996.

    Not surprising. The NBA is all about being athletic. Twitch muscles, limb length, center of gravity, all favor people of western African descent. There are obviously athletic white people and non athletic black people, but the % are what they are
