2011 draft.....

There are more American players(and superstars), so the amount of American champions is always going to outweigh their European counterparts.

Wow. Calling you a trolling xenophobe would be letting you off the hook.

P.S. Bynum didn't play in the 08 playoffs where the Lakers went to the finals playing an oversized PF at C that they integrated mid-season. Bynum was also practically useless in the 09 playoffs because he didn't have toughness or strength under duress like you claim is only a trait of an American.

Manu Ginobili is waving with his rings and gold medal.

Hakeem Olajuwan - who did more with less than anyone I can think of in NBA history - was really American, though. So American, in fact, that I believe he was born in Kansastucky.

Have fun at Stadium of Fire.

Swing and a miss.

Dream played 3 years at an American University. This helped prepare him for the NBA.

Tomic is playing in a league of unathletic soft euro butt paper. Which is exactly what I'm talking about. Please, try and stay on subject. If you can't, then please just leave.

Care to try again?

Numberica doesn't have to. Thriller only cited Hakeem, which Numberica pointed out was "really American." Probably shouldn't have mentioned him to bolster his argument, since he already had Manu.
And Numb coulda citeed the more obvious bigs Dirk and/or Pau.

The draft's a gamble. You can lose big or hit the jackpot, regardless of homeland. You don't want to be too dismissive. Look under every rock.
 
Hakeem is American because he moved here at some point? Makes sense.

Now let's get back to the subject of Turkey being communist and white.

Labeling all Euro/Turkish players as soft and unathletic is pretty ridiculous. Tomic is quite swift for a guy 7'2".Wish we could have drafted Asik in the 2nd round. he would be a defensive upgrade over all our players.

You do know they are white though right?

How do you define "white"? Are Italians, Greeks, or Spaniards white? When I see Kanter, I think he looks Turkish, which is a generally lighter-skinned Arab. Why does it matter anway? If it matters at all, it's a positive since American-born white players are basically irrelevant in the NBA.

And Turkey is communist??? If you were to ask the resident guy that talks out of his ***, every country that's not Amurrca is either a terrorist breeding ground or a bastion of Stalinism. Turkey presents a unique problem in that it's somehow both.

Birth certificate gold standard socialism fascism communism, am I right? Also, death tax.

Um, you mentioned it in your post. Fortunately, most Turks are quite moderate. Feel kind of bad though i had a Turkish employee at Florida State who was first quite observant of the Koran, by the time the college year was out he was in seedy bars drinking crappy beer. But, yes some seem quite ignorant of the world and most importantly their basketball players. :)
