They really couldn't get Mudiay in on this? At least if he played, you could have a somewhat convincing SL of him, Deng, Giannis, Ibaka and Dieng.

Yeah, I don't give a fuck about French, African, the Diaws, their names, or where they originated from. Of course all blacks are African somewhere down the line, but I honestly thought this dude was just a French guy.Quote:

and my point was that its odd to only make that observation for africa but not anything else. unless ur just trying too hard to be PCQuote:
