    San Antonio; Gino and Bonner/Oberto. TP is half as well.
    Cavs have 1.5...Varejao and Delonte West is half.
    Nets have Yi and Brook Lopez.
    Portland have Blake and Joel Przybilla.

    Lopez is half. But isn't people with any black blood considered black in America?

    Depends on who you're talking to. Does it really need to be a rule?

    I always find it interesting. Here in Australia you can be like 10% black and you are considered that and most people will claim it. Yet when a black person is a little bit white they are never white? Anyone know why that is?

    I would say its because black genes and traits tend to be more dominate in a person's looks and features. IMO they shouldn't label themselves either black or white.

    In america if your half black, you ARE black. back in the day there were alot of half black slaves which is why african americans come in defferent colors.

    Guys, if we happened to land Nash and Harpring next year, do you think we could win it all with this roster:

    Nash
    Battier
    Harpring
    Scola
    Yao

    I hate Harpring just as much as you guys but if he were on our team, I'll bet you guys will have a change of hearts!

    BTW, this thread is silly, that's why I came up with this crap! :)

    Exactly, so he wasn't counting Battier as being white.

    Shane Battier is the whitest player in the NBA.
