Re-signing Bonner would make us the whitest team in the NBA?

Dolt. Jew denotes religion, not necessarily race/ethbicity. There are black Jews.

And per the US Census Bureau, one can be white and Hispanic or non-white Hispanic.

In the case of Manu, his family lineage appears to be Italian, which makes him European white (Caucasian). The same goes for the new guy and Tiago.

It is a race on his own, they have their features, here is some info

Also I dont understand your point, you said Jews denotes religion, not necessarily race/ethnicity... ¨not necessarily¨ is not an absolute so in no way excludes the race denomination.

White coach and white home jerseys too tbh

[ceperez]

I thought Spurs were mostly loaded with Irish players:

Timmy Duncan (retired)
Danny Green
Patty Mills
Tony Parker
Matt Bonner (soon to be retired)

Only 1 rotation White American player(if Lee cracks the rotation, which he probably will), which is fine, I suppose..International players are nice, regardless of race, tbh..

It's the White American players that should cause skepticism..there's a reason the % of White American players in the NBA has dropped nearly 30% since the 80s(and replaced by Euros/International players), basketball just isn't their sport..with the widespreadreach of scouting and resources available to teams today, pure talent/ability is more important than ever..

This isn't the 80s, where a team like the Celtics could win multiple les

That's the key to being a lottery team. Not sure the Spurs want that.

Also, Ardiacono is trash.

Boom

tbh its probably more profitable to own the team. Great work with the racism though. Keep it in Canada

We had Manu, Splitter, Baynes, Bonner and Beli in '14 tbf

[Uriel]

Not counting Hispanic/Latino, mixed or unlikely to be re-signed/make the team, it's basically Lee and Bertans . . . not that it matters.

I don't know why ignorant white people think the tone of a mixed players skin makes them any more black than white or white than black.

I've also never understood why ethnics, who were born and/or raised in the U.S., are referred to as (insert ethnicity)-American, but whites just get to be described as Americans. Either refer to them as European-American or refer to everyone as Americans.

[Racspur1]

Now adding Shawn Bradley would trump all-time whitest team in NBA History !!!! Even if he was the only white guy on the team !!!

Tiago Splitter Beims is a Brazilian professional basketball player for the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association. Wikipedia
Born: January 1, 1985 (age 31), Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil
Nationality: Brazilian, Spanish

Tiago is from one of most whitest cities of Brazil. 90% are White and only 1,64% are black. Most of the White people are have german descent.

[Spurtacular]

The 96 Bulls and 86 C's were both quite white; just sayin.'

[Spurtacular]

Pau
Lee
Manu
Bertans
Arcidiacono
Bonner

Arci will be a d-leaguer.

unretire Timmy, we need more street cred

Why wouldn't you count them?

[z0sa]

The whole american continent has Red Skin origins and that includes the USA, but since Europeans came to colonize we have White people all over the continent, if both parents are white it counts as white, if one parent is brown is a mestizo, I think OP means white as being white, not some light skinned like Blake or Klay Thompson.
Why Tiago should be removed? he has Jewish ancestry, raised as Christian but I think Jews count as white.

So the nazis killed a bunch of fellow master racers?

Nazis went to Brazil and Argentina after WWII escaping from Europe and they had lots of goods (treasures, paintings, gold, etc) to pay locals and have a quiet life so more than killing they had to give up things in order to live.
I dont think they killed fellow master racers, tbh.

Since jewish isn't a race, there are different ethnicities, like ashkenazi (the White ones), sephardic (the black haired arab-looking, the moors, most of them from Spain, Portugal, South of Italy), the Mizrahi (most from the Middle Eastern) and even black jews from Nigeria.

[DAF86]

Why would you count them?

Mmh, maybe 'cause they are white? You see, here you are being just as ignorant as the folks you about in the post I quoted. Just like there's black americans and white americans. There's also white and black latinos/hispanic. For ex: Manu, Gasol, and Garino are white latinos.

So the next time you decide to about the ignorance of others, try to see if you are not doing the same , tbh.

Maybe so, but I differentiate between them and white Americans, the same way I would a West Indian and an African.

Then you should have said this instead of "why would you count them? ", acting like leaving them out was the rational thing to do and that you didn't understand why would somebody count those players on a list of "white Spurs players".

[LittleCriminal]

Thought this was kinda funny..

[Mikeanaro]

Thats dumb since we are in the same continent, its called ¨America¨ and it has 3 divisions but it still one big continent, we have white people and darker ones as much as you have lots of black people and mexicans.
According to your logic North Americans are not that white because they are full of black people.

[cutewizard]

Mchale had sick footwork........

I wonder who is the better player in the post, McHale or Olajuwon? Who would you take guys?
