You're thinking of it in terms of 5 vs 5 too much. Their main strength is their bench is insane which would be worth 15-20 wins in the regular season.

If it is just starting lineup vs starting lineup then yeah they're just pretty good and most of the good teams would beat them.

Okay well if we're talking all one race teams you can have the all whites.

I'll take LeBron, Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, Tim Duncan and Chris Paul with James Harden as my 6th man and beat em by 80 points.

I think it's stupid to call Blake Griffin black.

If Blake Griffin is black because he's got some black blood in him, then 99% of the NBA is white, because most of those black men
have some white somewhere in their ancestry.

Blake Griffin with his red hair and freckles, and people are going to call him black? Bzzzzt.

Can we at least all agree that the all-white team would play garbage defense at just about every position that isn't C? Rubio's become a good defender but he's not CP3. No D at SG. No D at PF. Average at best D at SF depending on your opinion of Dunleavy (if he even starts). Yikes.

If an NBA team could pick pick the 15 best white players in the NBA and put them all on one team does anyone think that team could win a playoff series?

Would the 3-4 or 5 steps be the walking rule?

Why even considering playing/starting Dunleavy? Gordon Hayward is better on offense and a very solid, underrated wing defender.

So? What's your point? The guy is white as can be.

Calling this guy black is just stupid.

Blake Griffin would never call himself white. Is that hard to understand that there are people who are multiracial? There are over 10 million multiracial people in the US. Tiger Woods. Barack Obama. Halle Berry. Mariah Carey. Derek Jeter.

Maybe we could do a multi-racial team headlined by Blake Griffin, Klay Thompson, Jason Kidd and Mike Bibby.

Then also an alien team featuring Sam Cassell

Of course he's multiracial, no one is denying that. I'll bet there are a lot more than 10 million multiracial people in the US. All I'm saying is that my personal opinion is that it's stupid to look at a guy that looks 100% white, and call him black - when chances are he's more than 50% white. People are discussing black vs. white pro basketball players, and Griffin gets put on the "black" team. Why? He's more than likely more white than black.

I wouldn't put Blake on the black team. But I 100% wouldn't put him on the white team. And I think my estimate of about 10 million people in the US is correct. It's less than you might think because interracial marriage was only legalized in a lot of states about 50 years ago.

OK. So anyone who doesn't have 4 grandparents of the same race has to go on the multiracial team. :103631605

(i.e. they have to be > 75% of one race)

No you took it to the extreme. But yeh, anyone who doesn't have 2 parents who identify as the same race would go on the multiracial team.
