So a friend of mine posted this in a group text the other day. It was his rendition of the all time greatest “white” basketball team ever assembled.
Who beats this team? All in their primes and healthy.
Stockton
Jerry West
Bird
McHale
Joker
Bobby Jones
Bill Walton
Chris Mullin
Luka
Dirk
Steve Nash
Rick Barry
Not in love with Bobby Jones and even though I think he’s right in selecting Nash and Stockton, I’m a BIG Mark Price fan and would have bumped Nash for him.
Anyway, who can make a better all white basketball dream team? (PS there’s an active debate if Euros should be allowed on the list).
Here’s mine
Price
Stockton
Marjele
West
Barry
Walton
Bird
McHale
Pistol Pete
Lambeer
Smits
Mullin
Christian Laettner
If no Euros I’d think Mullen has to be on the list…I don’t think Heinrich or Laettner should be on the list, and Smits is iffy, but I could probably be convinced. I’ll have to think about this…Think you pretty much nailed the rest and Nash has to be on there.
I’ve also read Bob Petit was very good, obviously I haven’t seen much of him.
After watching Bobby Jones highlights (he was before my time and never really watched him) I concur that he should probably be on the list. Amazing athleticism.
