I saw this thread here today: NFL: Black Quarterbacks Vs. NBA: White Centers
So I thought, what would be the all-time NBA All-White Team? This would be my roster.
Starters:
G - Steve Nash
G - Jerry West
F - Larry Bird
F - Bob Pettit
C - Bill Walton
Bench:
G - Bob Cousy
G - Chris Mullin
F-G - John Havlicek
F - Rick Barry
F - Dirk Nowitzki F - Pau Gasol
C - George Mikan

Think he played Small Forward? Sixers and basketball gurus correct me if I'm wrong. Also - as far as back up Centers. Who can forget the G-Man - Mike Gminski. Played for Charlotte I believe before making his way to the Sixers. Had a sweet corner 15 foot jumper. PG - Scotty Brooks? A coach now - formerly of the Thunder and now I believe with the Wiz. He was a lil waterbug and all energy on the court. |

Can't Yao Ming be considered white? He's a billion times better than your starter Walton.
Or does Ming only make the all-yellow team?

Anyone remember Dave Hoppen and Bob Thornton?
Pretty much the ultimate white guy Centers.
Who were those 'White Guy Centers' on those Jordan Bulls teams?
They were epic............

Bill Wentington and Will Purdue - weren't they also iconic Bulls white centers during the jordan era? |

Yeah, Cartwright was there for three of those championships. Knick fans know that well. Bill was with us in New York for a decade... we won nothing. He goes to the Bulls...he wins three championships immediately. Having said that, we still love the guy here in New York.  |

Anybody else here love Spencer Hawes?
He has nice touch from the outside - perfect backup '5' you can put in for some instance offense if need be.
I don't get how he's bounced around for years.

Believe it or not, when his team (whatever team he is on at that moment of his career) comes to the Garden to play the Knicks, we always seem to buy tickets to those games. I swear, I do believe I've seen him play the Knicks while playing for Sacramento, Charlotte, Philly, and Milwaukee! |

Before 'The Process' I loved me some Spencer Hawes, Andre Iguodala, Evan Turner, Jrue Turner - team took Boston to the brink in the playoffs heading to the Semis and was a #8 that knocked off a #1 in the Bulls - ok - i think Noah and Rose were hurt but whatever - and despite what people say about Doug Collins as a coach - I loved him like Larry Brown - i don't care if you don't know what you're doing - show some passion and pretend you do! |

WHAT ABOUT KEITH VAN HORN?!?!?! THE GREAT WHITE HYPE!?!?!
Seriously though, doesn't Chris Mullin deserve a spot in the "all white team"?

Seriously though, doesn't Chris Mullin deserve a spot in the "all white team"? i loved Keith Van Horn did he live up to the #2 pick? no. kind of like Evan Turner. but like Turner - he was a 'good player' that did a lot of things well and nothing spectacular. he wasn't lazy and hustled and gave his all. mullin. wow. is he still the coach of St. Johns? what was that old school name. RUN TMC - hardaway, richmond, mullin - wow - think of Golden State today how they light it up - but remember years back when when Run TMC was an ESPN highlight reel everyday. |

Yeah those guys were talented. Didn't they get derailed by injuries and just bad luck?

In 2010, Mullin was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the "Dream Team". On February 28, 2011, Mullin was elected to the College Basketball Hall of Fame. On April 4, 2011, Mullin was inducted again to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, this time for his individual career. On March 19, 2012, Mullin's number was retired by the Golden State Warriors. He was on the 97-98 Pacers team that lost in 7 to Jordan in the East Finals. As a member of the Pacers, Mullin, who was primarily a bench player at this time, appeared in three games of the 2000 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers and scored four points total.After that season, Mullin was waived by the Pacers. He then once again signed with Warriors for the 2000–01 season, his last season as a player. Was never a good defender, though. |
