The All mystery ethnicity NBA team

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

We've covered similar topics (all white, all black etc.), now list your team of players who have an ethnicity people struggle to figure out.

PG - Jordan Farmar - We know he's a Jew, and he's got light skin with black athleticism.....can't figure out his ethnicity
SG - Delonte West - white skin, black name, orange hair....a genetic anamoly to say the least
SF - Matt Barnes - He's got a white name with milk chocolate skin and an alien forehead.....dude might not be from this planet
PF - Carlos Boozer - Easiest selection of them all......where the fuck did this guy come from?
C - Robin Lopez - Hispanic name, hybrid skin, Jewfro, Stanford education with black athleticism......a good combo to cap the team off

[himat]

I still don't know where Jason Kidd is from.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I still don't know where Jason Kidd is from.


Oak-town.

[himat]

Oak-town.

Yeah but what's his ethnicity? I really don't think he is 100% anything. He's mixed.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Yeah but what's his ethnicity? I really don't think he is 100% anything. He's mixed.


He's simply half white half black, nothing compared to the guys on this team.

[Halberto]

Dirk Nowitzki is from the ice age

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Watching Carlos Boozer being interviewed sparked this thread. If anyone seriously knows Carlos Boozer's ethnic makeup please PM me or something I understand it's a well kept secret that can't be spread.

[Phallusy]

Popeye Jones... Looks like a hyena/chupacabra mix

Stephen Curry?

[jag]

Doug Christie for all-decade team

[z0sa]

This should be "DoK's list of players I can't racially slur since I don't actually know their race."

[Bob Lanier]

Kidd looks remarkably like a Berber.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Doug Christie for all-decade team


IMO Carlos Boozer is still the mystery ethnicity G.O.A.T. Look at all there is about him



Born in Germany
grew up in Alaska
went to Duke
Has the first name "Carlos"
bad acne
non-nappy hair
sounds like a honky at times, and other times sounds semi-black
has skin that could be anything from part black to Hispanic to native American.

[peskypesky]

I still don't know where Jason Kidd is from.

Jeterland.

[Bob Lanier]

non-nappy hair
How do you know?

Hispanic to native American.
?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

If anyone has their own list please contribute btw. Ethnic mystery is a growing epidemic in this country.

[Darthkiller]

mike bibby, blake griffin, deron williams

[jag]

Has the first name "Carlos"


This is what does it for me.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

This is what does it for me.


It fucks everything up. How many people born on a German military base have the first name "Carlos" :lol

[Dex]

Don't forget about Ime Udoka.

That is, if you want a defensive small forward who can't play defense or shoot.

[Cane]

Tony Parker

[jag]

Charlie Villanueva is quite mysterious(and scary)...as is Joakim Noah.

[m33p0]

Carlos Boozer - Easiest selection of them all......where the fuck did this guy come from?
Milwaukee. you can tell by the name.

[m33p0]

Don't forget about Ime Udoka.

That is, if you want a defensive small forward who can't play defense or shoot.
Africa. forgot what country. but definitely african.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Charlie Villanueva is quite mysterious(and scary)...as is Joakim Noah.


Two very good names. Definitely will receive reserve consideration from the coaches and GM's.

[John Terry]

Jason Kidd looks the most mysterious to me. He's absolutely white based on what I see but he's known to be hybrid. I don't get it.

[Scola]

PF - Joakim Noah - His wiki says "of French, Swedish, and Cameroonian descent." Noah calls himself "the African Viking."[7]

From looking at the guy, I thought he was probably Puerto-Rican. What ethnicity/race is this guy?

http://notqualifiedtocomment.com/wp-content/uploads/joakim-noah-hair-out.jpg

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Joe Kim Noah might unseat RoLo as the starting center if he keeps this up.

[Bob Lanier]

From looking at the guy, I thought he was probably Puerto-Rican. What ethnicity/race is this guy?

[Kori Ellis]

These guys aren't really a mystery - they are just mixed.

Jordan Farmar - Black dad, Jewish white mom (also Israeli stepmom)
Delonte West - Black mom, mixed race dad (some Native American)
Matt Barnes - White mom, black dad (his mom died a few years back)
Robin Lopez - Cuban dad, white mom

Carlos Boozer - I'm not sure. Black/white probably.

FUCKING ROFL!!!!

he is actually the result of an old nazi experiment to merge all the known races into one embryo, then put all the names in the world into a hat and draw out two at random.

[pauls931]

I still don't know where Jason Kidd is from.

Ask Gary Payton, he could tell you.

[Red Hawk #21]

I find it funny how no one ever mentions Leandro Barbosa. This guy has very strong Native American features but his hair is nappy like a black guy. People just say he's Brazilian but all Brazilians are different mixes. http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/4892/barbov.jpg (http://img38.imageshack.us/i/barbov.jpg/)

Well, being Jewish, 9/10 times is also being part of the ethnic group, which is Semitic, not Caucasian.
Hard to tell with Delonte. The burn doesn't help.
Matt could have a growth condition, like Tayshaun Prince. This seems to affect skin pigmentation.
I thought Latino skin tones were as varied as anyone else.
Where is Jason Kidd on this list?

Boozer is Alaskan. Need I say more?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Boozer was born on a German military base. I really don't think he's Alaskan.

[mingus]

not in the league anymore, but i'm looking at Eric Snow on NBA TV, and he could be Asian, but i'm not sure.

[TheMACHINE]

^^derrick rose looks kinda asian too.

[mingus]

http://i41.tinypic.com/66it95.gif

it would be hard trying to make a ft with that kid in the background. damn. and the comparison to Beck is priceless ROFL, esp. when you figure in that, in addition to looking like this kid, Beck is Mormon.

[DAF86]

timvp should be the owner of that team's un-official forum.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Joakim Noah is Yannick Noah's kid. Yannick is a 1/2 black (Cameroon father, French mother) French guy who was a tennis star. His mother is a Swedish beauty queen/artist.

Check out the Yannick Noah WikiPedia article for all the scoop and pictures.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

^^derrick rose looks kinda asian too.


I'm glad I'm not the only person who notices that.

[#2!]

wtf is blake griffin? I can never even manage a guess for him

[noob cake]

Shane Battier is half back, but he is very white for a black guy.

[DAF86]

Shane Battier is half back, but he is very white for a black guy.

Why do people call half white/half black guys, black?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Shane Battier is half back, but he is very white for a black guy.


So is any black guy who went to Duke. Grant Hill is the same way.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

He's got a big brother, they played together at Oklahoma.

[boutons_deux]

Noah's Facebook page is correct about his lineage.

His name for himself confirms him solidly as a conceited asshole, seen in every game and his trash talk.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

my vote is for Mike Bibby. Cant figure out his ethnicity.

Holy crap. Do you people just not know any basketball history?

Mike is Henry Bibby's kid. Henry was a star at UCLA and then with the 76ers. It's another black dad/white mom deal.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

So is any black guy who went to Duke. Grant Hill is the same way.

So I guess anyone who is articulate, smart, and speaks standard English, can't be black?

[TheMACHINE]

I know who Henry Bibby is. i know that Mike Bibby is his son. That doesnt change the fact that i dont know what the fuck ethnicity him or his son is. lol

If you want to take this thread seriously then sure.

[NBAdime]

So I guess anyone who is articulate, smart, and speaks standard English, can't be black?

The childishness and racist slurs are abundant here. All the players are of mixed heritage named here. Sad, how no one knows Yannick Noah and Henry Bibby. Eddie House is married to Mike Bibby's sister, random useless trivia.

[ezau]

Nate Robinson. One article stated that he's like 1/4 Filipino.

[TheMACHINE]

Nate Robinson. One article stated that he's like 1/4 Filipino.

yes...he is 1/8th filipino and will play for the Philippine National Team as thier power Forward to help them qualify for the olympics.

[mingus]

what about that guy Josh Boone (or whatever the fuck his name is). he plays for the Nets.

[mingus]

[jacobdrj]

Boozer was born on a German military base. I really don't think he's Alaskan.

:rolleyes

[Thunder Dan]

Jayson Williams- obviously white, but thinks he is black. So this is like the transgendered who are born a man but think they are really a woman, totally ignoring the big, thick hairy cock hanging between their legs.

[m33p0]

i know filipinos are short-statured. but we're not so short as needing a midget to be a power forward.

[Bob Lanier]

He looks at least half black to me.

lol power forward. But yeah, he kinda looks somewhat Asian to me.

[FlyHigh07]

^^derrick rose looks kinda asian too.

Ay, I agree with that. I saw his mom she's black but his dad is nowhere to be found. Maybe the dad is half asian, who knows. Rose is pretty light skinned too.

But what about Jerryd Bayless?? He looks mixed, don't he?

Tayshaun Prince is a light skin black kid from Compton... with freckles.

He's Nigerian, but he grew up here. I believe he has a white mom and a black dad.

[ezau]

What about Manu? Is he white? hispanic? white hispanic? italo?

Italian obviously, but he has very strong Jewish features.

[Kamala]

There is no black or white just shades of gray.

[Mike-in-brazil]

[jag]

Is BR Hornet 45 black?

Ya, he and Jason Williams have the same ancestry.

[Zelophehad]

The fascination with mixed race peoples in this thread reminds me of the paparazzi's constant photos of Seal and Heidi Klum with their kids. Basically, they use the excuse that they're a celebrity couple but really they just show them constantly because Seal is super black and Klum is like the whitest of the white so people love to stare at their offspring.

http://cecillethestoryteller.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/heidi-seal-kids.jpg

There's like 20 million pictures of those two with their kids on the internet.

In terms of his heritage Manu is 3/4 Italian and 1/4 Spaniard. He has said so himself.

[GovernmentMan]

and Rudy Fernandez

what exactly is a mystery about his ethnicity? he's from Spain

[Quit Hatin']

im suprised no one mentioned raja bell. what is he? i thought he was black. but then some one told me raja is a indian name and bell could be black or white. but then he was born in the virgin islands grew up in miami. went to boston university his first year then transfer to florida international. what the fuck does he count as?

Quit Hatin'

[JamStone]

Ethnicity is not the same thing as citizenship/nationality.

Nowadays, it's often not the same thing.
