lame

Pacers are going for the All White Team this year ^^

Skeets: Would have been a great CaC!!

It's the black Turkoglu

lakers 2010 champions there enough said

well it do not matter what race they is , its all about can they play, but then again its a black man sport. hoop all day belive that.

Indiana's roster consists of 7 white players and 10 black players, which is hardly an all-white team. The mid '80s Celtics squad, which is arguably the best team in NBA history (and this is coming from a Lakers fan) had 8 white players and only 4 black ones. The NBA Champion LA Lakers this year had 5 white players and 8 black players. Perhaps this article is assuming that if you select a white player, it is done for the sole purpose of racism? Pretty harsh words for an article that consists of absolutely no statics regarding the white player ratio on other teams in other cities. I'm not saying Bird didn't select Hansborough because he was white. Who knows? Or maybe selecting North Carolina's all-time leading scorer and NCAA player of the year at 13, regardless of "how well his game transfers to the NBA" (which is code for he's white), is a good pick. He's not the best athlete. Sure. But perhaps Bird likes the fact that he is a proven winner, and that he works his tail off. Besides, before we start calling Indiana's organization racist, let's not forget that the majority of people who actually go to games are white. Sorry, but it's true. And, let's not forget that white players who hustle become fan favorites regardless of where they play. Look at Birdman in Denver. Do you see fans dressing up as Carmelo or Chauncy? NO. And why was Kurt Rambis so the fan favorite in LA's showtime era? The point is, fan favoritism for white players who hustle is widespread throughout the NBA. Indiana is not isolated. But more importantly, Indiana selected the NCAA Player of the Year, coming off of a Championship season at UNC! At #13. I call that a great pick. He's not exactly some schmuck from BYU or something. Come on now. Get serious.

Could be that Bird is stockpiling some players who can think.

I think Amar'e still has it and I hope he won't sustain anymore major injury if the suns-warriors do make the trade. The only problem is they want curry with biedrins, belinelli, and wright and warriors doesn't to lose curry. Maybe warriors should give up some draft picks.

he is very very good

uh oh...looks like danny granger is gone next year....maybe for another white boy in ricky rubio????? lol

Wow, you dont realize what a bust the 2006 draft was untill you look at the 2 or 3 guys who have really done anything for their teams. I see the 2009 draft being similar.

In all fairness, the 2006 draft produced some real gems. Rondo, Brandoy Roy, Aldridge, Rudy Gay, Paul Millsap, Sefolosha's cornrows, Adam Morrison's `stache, Walter Herrmann's hair...

Bird picked Hibbert and Rush in 2008, so what's the story here?
And I think Tyler will do fine in the NBA. He isn't North Carolina's all-time leading scorer for no reason..

Well written #10.
And yeah, Go Lakers 2010!

20th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give & go post 10 well put. Was Larry Bird the best athlete. No, but he could shoot like no other. Hansbourough wasn't NCAA POTY by accident.I think Larry can spot talent reguardless of color.

Is Blake Griffin white? his hops ain't

Blake Griffin is half black and half white

for me dwayne wade is the best....go go..miami

The Clippers have had 3 good drafts in a year. They picked Al Thorton who just needs a 3 point shot and defense. Last year they picked Eric Gordon who could have been ROY if he started every game. Picked the energizer bunny Mike Taylor, wanna be Dwight Howard, DeAndre Jordan. This year Blake will be ROY if Zach gets traded. They are on right path, just the veterans suck. (Baron Davis)

10th I'm glad Bird is getting a white team together, maybe his team won't win a championship but at least nobody will get arrested for DUI or shot someone, we all know the blacks are stupid like that.

hansbrough is garbage i dont even care if i spelled his name right pacers lost my respect with that pick. hedo is also garbage all he does is travel. go lakers

I think it will be very wise for the lakers gm to re sign ariza, odom & brown since they are part of the champions and will be needing them to a repeat championship. to no break the unanimous, togetherness, and just like our whole body they should all be intact as one.
