The Jazz ought to win this one by a mile
Question: Do we limit it to white, American-born players or are Canadians and Germans eligible?
White Mavericks:
PG: Steve Nash
SG: Tim Legler
SF: Detlef Schrempf
PF: Dirk Nowitzki
C: Bill Wennington
The Celtics are ridiculously good:
Cousy
Hondo
Bird
McHale
Walton
They'd sweep any other team. Five of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players.
I went for strictly All-American crackers.
All-Time White Cavaliers Team:
PG: Mark Price
SG: Craig Ehlo
SF: Snyder
PF: "Gentle" Ben Poquette
C: Luke Witte
Other candidates include Jon Crotty, Scott Brooks, Kent Benson, Steve Kerr and Bob Sura.
My American Cracker Version:
PG: Brad Davis
SG: Tim Legler
SF: Keith Van Horn
PF: Raef LaFrentz
C: Shawn Bradley
Look at that long front line!
I think the All-Time Black starting Five would be a more interesting discussion, to be honest... I'm pretty sure the Celts have this one locked down.
Okay, Black Starting Five:
PG: Jason Kidd
SG: Michael Finley
SF: Mark Aguirre
PF: Roy Tarpley
C: James Donaldson
Celtics All-White big man rotation:
McHale/Cowens/Heinsohn
Walton/Macauley/Lovellete
Six HoFers.
All-Black:
Tiny Archibald/Johnson
Sam Jones/KC Jones
Pierce/JoJo
Russell/Garnett
Parish/Cornbread

The All-time white Spurs team would be frontrunners for the # 1 draft pick:
G: Steve Kerr
G: Brent Barry
F: Manu Ginobili
F: Dave Corzine
C: Billy Paultz
All-Black for the Spurs:
G Alvin Robertson
G George Gervin
F Sean Elliott
F Tim Duncan
C David Robinson
Tony Parker
Manu Ginobili
Hedo Turkolu
Tim Duncan
Fabricio Oberto
My All-time Black Rockets would crush your all time white any team.
Drexler
Olujuwan
Steve Francis
Vernon Maxwell
Carl Landry
All-Time White Suns
- Starters -
Nash (18.8 ppg at peak)
Jeff Hornacek (20.1 ppg at peak)
Westphal (25.2 ppg at peak)
Chambers (27.2 ppg at peak)
Adams (19 ppg at peak)
- Bench -
Ainge (17.9 ppg at peak)
Majerle (17.1 ppg at peak)
Van Arsdale (21.9 ppg at peak)
Louis Amundson
Majerle and Amundson are the only decent defenders of the bunch, and they are going to get slaughtered on the boards, but that team is putting up 135 per night, easy... Great shooters, unbelievable versatility across the board...
his identical twin Tom played for the Suns too, for one year they played together. It was bizarre watching those games (I was a Knicks fan then). broke in with the Knicks but I don't remember why they traded him to the Suns.
on the Spurs, Duncan and Parker have black fathers and white mothers, so they should be able to go on all the lists, right?
(ps -- this is a totally bogus exercise -- basketball is basketball -- who cares about skin color)
Yup, All-White Jazz in landslide:
PG: Stockton
SG: Maravich
SF: Hornaceck
PF: Malone
C: Eaton
Hmm, I might have to put some more thought into this:
PG: Steve Nash
SG:
SF: Detlef Schrempf
PF: Keith Van Horn
C: Dirk Nowitzki
Need to find a better SG candidate than Tim Legler. Sasha Danilovic?
Hornacek, Havlicek, Maravich
Too bad Ginobili is not black, or we beat the out of those black Rox
But wait
Landry instead of Otis Thorpe, WTF ??????
None of those guys ever played for the Mavs.
G Brent Barry
G Manu Ginobili
F Mark Olberding
F Billy Paultz
C Swen Nater
Turkoglu would be the obvious choice for a SF if we're going to count his 1 season as enough to put him on an all-time team, but if that's allowed, then the Spurs all-time black team would be George Gervin/Dominique Wilkins/Tim Duncan/Moses Malone/David Robinson![]()
