All time White Basketball Squad

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.

Yes- I should have him over Hinriech. Edited

Add Tom Chambers I’d say, especially if going to 12 or 13, and no Euros.

My no Euros list

Bird
Mchale
Stockton
West
Maravich
Walton
Petit
Mullin
Price
Nash
Marjele
Chambers
Laimbeer

Obviously probably forgetting 1 or 2, especially old-timers.

Edit: we probably can’t leave out Cousy and Havelicik.

No Bradley? Guy was a HOFer…

PS I think this thread could have gone in the “Sports Talk” category.

Didn’t even know that existed lol

Ah, no Euros. I immediately was about to launch into a Nowitzki rant.

Fun list.
Bird
Steve Nash
Pete Maravich
McHale
Havlicek
Bill Walton
Cousy
Mullin
Stockton
West
Price
Lambeer
Ainge
Kerr

tough list

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.

But, who beats them?

PG
Magic
Steph Curry
Isiah Thomas

SG
Jordan
Kobe Bryant
Dwayne Wade

SF
Lebron James
Julius Erving
Scottie Pippin or Dominique Wilkins
Kevin Durant

PF
Tim Duncan
Karl Malone
Kevin Garnett
Rodman

C
Bill Russell
Kareem
Wilt
Shaq
Hakeem

I’m not sure it would even be a game.

Heh. It wouldn’t be. That squad you just listed would be scary good.

Dave Debusschere and Jeff Hornacek were a couple others who popped in my head.
