11 white guys, but these guys can ball and a lot of them are two players and these white guys are diversed as hell.
Rubio - Spain
Love - USA
Pekovic - Serbia
Kirilenko - Russia
Barea - Puerto Rico
Budinger - USA
Stiemsma - USA
Ridnour - USA
Shved - Russia
Amundson - USA
I think we are over extending ourselves here, what exactly is white ?
IF you told a person from russia he was white, he would probably say ummm no im russian, or serbian, or spanish, or puerto rican.
White is alot different in america with a history of slavery and oppression and martin luther kings and jim crow laws. In spain racism is of a different color, japanese are ridiculed, and in puerto rico, there is a pride set by itself apart from what makes america so segregated in its nature.
I wouldnt exactly call the timberwolves an :all white team:
Instead I would call them what is slowly becoming the future of the NBA
( an all national team )
Look at the mavs a few years ago
Dirk
Berea
Kidd
Stojacovic
chandler
Beabois
Mahinmi
Thats 7 guys spanning from america to serbia to germany and then to france
I think as americans we get caught up in this white thing,
when every where else they are what they are
mahnmi is black---- but he refers to himself as french
tony parker is black---but he refers to himself as black
Peja is white---- but he is serbian
I think my point is clear
be excited for this all national team
because there is no such thing as an all white or all black team.
