Watching the pacers play has got me thinking. Obviously basketball is dominated by African americans…..with that being said, Id like to know peoples opinion on who the best white(non-european) nba player is. This also includes Canada(NO steve nash)….In my opinion I guess its between Hinrich and Dunlevy

Right, so when you say "white non-european" you mean just white Americans. I’ll go with David Lee right now, Chase Budinger possibly in the future.

"Some" Americans act like the USA is not a part of the world lol. You definitely had to spell it out, because Europe is a continent. Australia is another, as is North America.

I like David Lee better than Kevin Love. People forget Lee can rebound too and also can shoot pretty decent from the perimeter maybe not 3 pointers yet but who knows in GSW, he could add that.

I know he’s from Argentina, but it’s possible he comes from entirely European heritage. Can’t say if he’s technically "white" or not.
