Do you honestly care that Nash/Morrison are white?

me and a friend made a list with the 15 best White players if we were to make a whites-only team a few days ago in class...

we did it very easily, only having problems when deciding if Nash or Kidd was to start :lol:

He looks very white to me. Isn't it racist that you're automatically labelled as black when one of your parents is one? You what what you look like and Kidd definitelly looks like a bloody white man. What exactly is black about him? (Same with Tony Parker.)

I think the popularity of Nash & Morrison don't have anything to do with being white, it's about being the underdog and succeeding at the highest level. And i don't think Redick is popular at all.

Nash came from Canada, looks like hippie, and if anybody saw this guy in a pickup game he'd be picked last. He didn't go to a big name school, and he didn't get drafted very high, it's a classic Cinderalla story.

Morrison came out of nowhere, he wasn't even a top 100 high school player, that's why he ended up at Gonzaga instead of a big conference. And even at Gonzaga, he wasn't really a star until recently. He's a total retro player from a very working class area near Seattle.

Neither of these guys are chiseled, world-class athletes with rappers and models on their arms...but they just burn people on the hardwood, and that's what fans love about em.

what's a total retro/throwback player?

someone who does "set" shots, sometimes with 2 hands? granny's from the ft-line? has no athetic ability?

i've read his scouting reports on both draft.net & draftexpress and seen a few Gonzaga games. other then the hair, socks and the porn 'stache, i don't see what's total retor/throwback about him
