I didn't read that you only wanted current players, but...

Becky Hammon

Becky Hammon is officially a Russkie now

I'm having trouble getting to page 3 in this thread, but has anyone mentioned Oprah Winfrey?

I don't mean to be the downer in a riveting conversation but

A. Spurs related how?

B. Why does the said person have to be white, and how does that pertain to anything?

...Farmar's parents are Jewish

Now that it's been established that Farmar was born in America, is he not considered white because he's Jewish?

You do know that Judiaism is a religion, not a race, don't you?

[hater]

I said GOOD Shooting/Point Guards

well that pretty much rules out 99% of the possible candidates

[miketan]

Tim Duncan. Oh wait, he's not a guard.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

James White!!

now THAT is funny!

[Obstructed_View]

John Stockton?

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Im trying to think of good Point/Shooting Guards that are white Americans. I could only think of Kirk Hinrich. Anybody else???

Of what possible value is this discussion? Why do you care? And why should I care?

I'm beginning to see why the Wizards are your favorite team.

Just concerned thats why.

Well ok, but his parents are from Israel. Which is not in my mind considering what I posted in the first post

No offense but if you don't care and then you don't need to engage in this discussion. Im just curious because there aren't lots of good white american basketball players. One would think they would dominate the game considering NBA is in America and stuff. Again this question is out of curiosity, not being racist or anything.

ok ok, change it to Curious.

Why would you think white Americans would dominate the game? In general, the African-American players are better athletes than the white American players.

Hispanic/Jew are ethnicities/nationalities not races. A South American, Jew is still white.
Technically speaking there are three races in the continent: White, Black, Asian.

Which makes Farmar white, and I think Kidd is pretty white as well.

Farmar and Kidd both have one black parent and one white parent (if you count Farmar's Jewish American mom as white).

First of all, you forgot Hispanic, Native American, Middle Eastern. BTW note on my first post I said Parents must be Americans as well.

The NHL says Hi!

Middle Eastern and Hispanic aren't considered races here.

The races are:
White
Black
Asian
American Indian/Alaska Native
Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander

Hispanic = South American, yes they are racially white.
Middle Easterns = White, only a darker skin color. But then again, so is most of Southern Europe.
Native Americans, yes they are probably not white. You could argue they are similiar to asians, yet they are a very small minority. Them, Eskimos, are probably a different race but a small one in the planet right now.

Second, I don't know where you read that Farmar's parents are from Israel. There are many Jews around the world, that never lived in Israel. Farmar is as white as he can be, and grew up in the US.

I think we are all forgetting Deron Williams. He seems white to me, and despite the fact that he tries to act like he is not most of the time, still looks really white to me.

Farmar's father is African-American. His mother is an American Jew, she re-married an Israeli Jew.
