Your take: "I think the white team would keep it competitve".

His take: "he said the 5 best white NBA players of all-time couldn't compete with even the fourth best all-time team of black only players."

Bill Walton is missing from your team. Same with Jerry West.

Walton's peak was cut short so I went with Jokic. J. West was great but I worry

if you pick peak player I'd go with Walton...

Maybe recency bias but I might still go Jokic.

I would still take the 4th team of black players. Much more athleticism.

If zone defense is legal that white team wins. No three point shooters

Because making 3’s is the only way to beat a zone? I think the “white” would

LakeshowCougs

The zone takes away the drive. Defending that is the white team’s biggest

I agree. I think you overestimate the effectiveness of the Zone. Just put Pip

Good catch. In a 7 game series I'd pick the black team to win 4-1 or 4-2.

What's your ranking for the best black players?

This is what I have. It's debatable if this is how the rankings SHOULD be, but

I meant to include Devin's younger brother on the list. Simple typo. 🙂

Curry is easily top 3 PG of all time.

Well, Larry Bird actually DID compete with 3 on that 4th team, and did quite well, so there's that.

Dwayne Wade is third best SG of all time which improves the fourth team because

His SG list: 1. Jordan, 2. Bryant, 3. Leonard, 4. Wade. I agree with his order.

Basketball is somewhat positionless now but Kawhi isn’t listed as a SG

califcougar

It's a little sad that your #1 pale team includes only one U.S. born player

RC Vikings

6/16/21 2:50pm

I think having Bill Russell on the 4th team means your BIL is wrong.

neboutefan

6/16/21 2:53pm

I'd put Olajuwon, Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal, Chamberlain, (Duncan if u count him a C)

Undefeated

6/16/21 3:10pm

It's subjective, but I would only put Jabbar and Chamberlain ahead of Russell.

neboutefan

Shaq is most dominant big man IMO. Russell 4th is good I would say
