Steve Nash was born in South Africa, but grew up in Canada, so is considered Canadian. I was wanting to know who people thought was the best player in the NBA right now born in the USA. Wally Szczerbiak was someone who I thought might get mentioned, even though he's not that great. He's considered American despite being born in Spain. I think Mike Bibby is a good choice, I'm suprised these names haven't rated some mention yet:
* Jason Kidd, New Jersey Nets
* Kirk Hinrich, Chicago Bulls
* Luke Ridnour, Seattle Sonics

Since when has Mike Bibby been white?

Reply #80580 | Report this post


Isn't Jason Kid Hispanic?
And since when is Bibby white?
Hang on, you started a topic asking who the best US- born white guy was, then suggested Spanish-born Szczerbiak? Hmm this is confusing...

But I'd say Mike Miller, Brad Miller and Hinrich in a year or 2 hopefully.

Statistically (going by the rating TSNP - same thing as HSA), Brad Miller is the one. Then Hinrich, Ridnour and Murphy?

Szczerbiak is "white". He just happens to have been born in Spain. And I can't find anything that says Kidd or Bibby is not "white" either.

Ok, correcting myself from before, I found this on Wikipedia (not the highest authority, but generally pretty reliable):

Mike Bibby
* Is of Caucasian descent from his father and Afro-Trinidadian descent from his mother.
(So he's 1/2 black)

Jason Kidd
* His father was African-American and his mother Irish Catholic.
(So he is also 1/2 black)

Mike Bibby's Dad is black. He played for the 76ers late 70's early 80's. He looks like Lionel Ritchie. Lionel Ritchie's daughter doesn't look black.
The best white guy in the NBA would have to be David Stern.

Mike Bibby's estranged father shouldn't it be.

He hasn't actually spoken to him for 20 year IIRC.

Because Mike Bibby's dad is the same guy who coaches or used to coach the university of Arizona (before he went there)

Whoever voted for Jason Williams has been asleep. He's black now.

I vote Joe Smith. He's become white.

Yes, I'm confused.

SHAWN BRADLEY!

ALTHOUGH HE MAY NOT PLAY ANYMORE, HE HAS BEEN IN MORE NUMBER 1 PLAYS OF THE WEEK THAN ANY WHITE GUY IN HISTORY...

BEING DUNKED ON. THAT IS!

I beg to differ.... Craig Ehlo was Michael Jordan's bitch!!! Every 2nd highlight of Jordan is of him hitting a tough shot in Ehlo's face.
Despite Craig being a very decent player in his own right, the main thing I will remember him for is Jordan hitting that buzzer beater on his head during the playoffs... after Ehlo had put the Cav's ahead down the other end.

There's only like two highlights with Jordan scoring a clutch basket on Ehlo, but they get played over and over so it seems like more

David Joel Stern (born September 22, 1942) is an American Jewish lawyer who has been the Commissioner of the National Basketball Association (NBA) since 1984. So to be exact - he's not white either:-) You must consider, that Jews like Arabs are both of Semitic origin :-)

Former Boston Celtic players who are now coaches or GMs. Even the Celtics can't find good white players anymore.

I think Jason Kidd is the best American born white guy in the league today. I wonder though, why is it that if someone has just a spot of black blood in him he is considered black? Why isn't it that if someone has just a spot of what blood in them that they are considered white? I know that it is said that Kidd's father was African-American, but if so his dad must've been a VERY light blooded black because Jason looks as white as they come.
