Utah- Whitest team ever.

Quick role play;

Jazz staff on the phone to owner...

"OK- boss, heres what we need, more shot blocking in the post. We could trade little used but talented Almond to move up a few spots in the draft, maybe still get Hibbert?... you want what????.... ok..." "What did he say?" "Our white-boy count is at a critical low..draft big slow soft white centers asap."


As a club we seem to pick really good players of late- D-Will, Brewer, Milsap and even a case could be made for Almond. So i was keen for this draft. We need Defence in a big way but...colour me surprised...we drafted a couple of big white projects that like to play face-up instead of back-to and play D about as good as the two chumps we currently have in our lane. (which really should be called a freeway.)

Gutted.

Even Karl Malone was the whitest black guy ever. The guy was a redneck.

Thedoctor, I'm pretty sure I've said pretty much the same thing in another thread...just listen to the man talk and it sounds like he should be sitting on his front porch with a banjo.

utah is a Big moron ... ooops mormon city ..who are WHITE as can be .. and for years they had mostly white players - Stockton, Hornacek, Eaton & Malone (as white as Bryant Gumble).. now they have AK47, Okur, Harpring and Williams (oh .. Williams is not black he sort of tan - is he half white like Kidd ??)

Utah is no more or less "whiter" than any other team in the league. It's a perception started by some free agent saying he didn't want to play there because the city was so "white", and perpetuated by morons like Bill Simmons.

Here's a quick comparison as an example:

Current white Jazzmen: Okur, AK47, Harpring, Korver, Fesenko. That's 5

Current white Lakers: Gasol, Radmanovic, Vujacic, Karl, Walton, Mihm, and I admit I'm not sure but I think Farmar is also white. That's 6 or 7.

Yet I don't hear anyone saying "Lakers, whitest team ever!" when they have MORE white players than the Jazz.

white guys are either the Euro type, bench players, spot up shooters or the non athletic smart Bird-like players !!!

Add to that the three-time championship winning Bulls from 96-98:
Toni Kukoc
Luc Longley
Steve Kerr
Bill Wennington
Jud Beuchler
Jack Haley (only played in 1996 - one game though!!!)

So, yeah... so much for your whitest team ever theory! Stop whingeing about the draft choices of your team and tell someone who cares
