Macklemore sporting a Jazz/ Hayward jersey in Rolling Stone.

BTW, this is obviously Macklemore making a statement about Hayward. Macklemore is probably the top selling white rapper right now, and Hayward is the top white NBA player. He is comparing himself to Hayward. Hayward is about to be a star yall.

Is he even top 5?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Is he even top 5?

Yeah, especially if you discount some Europeans.

American Born White Players would be:

Kevin Love
David Lee
Gordon Hayward
Chandler Parsons

Then I really struggle to think of other players.

Is he even top 5?

Dirk, Nash, Love, Gasol(s)......

Who else? Maybe David Lee? Rubio?

Not AK, Redick, Kaman, Ridinour, Ryan Anderson, Jimmer, Dunsleavy, Korver, Collison or Parsons

Yeah, especially if you discount some Europeans.

Why would you discount Europeans?

 

[Beantown]

Yeah, especially if you discount some Europeans.

Just off the top of my head:

Kevin Love

David Lee

JJ Reddick

Chandler Parsons

Ryan Anderson


So yea Hayward is probably Top 5. But its pretty close...

[NUMBERICA]

Why would you discount Europeans?

Because the only good white players for about 10 years were European.

12-13 ORL 50 11 31.5 0.450 0.390 0.891 0.2 2.2 2.4 4.4 0.6 0.1 2.1 1.4 15.1

Those are better numbers than Hayward has ever had....but of course Hayward will be better.

Just came to my mind. His father was half African descent. His mother was Swedish I think. So he's a quarter African, quarter French and half Swedish. I would count that as white.
