I think that of all of these players, none has played as well as Brad Miller did at his peak, but I can imagine Love or Lee eventually becoming better than him. They have work to do, though. If we're talking right now, probably Lee but maybe Love.

a serious answer: mebbe post stockton and bird era, basketball has been ghettoized in the minds of white kids that b-ball is a "black sport" and choose to focus their sports energy on ones that are more 'roid intenstive?

ok i hav some theories 4 u

1. young players come up through two largely racially segregated development systems of which the black one is superior - so by the time they integrate black players have an insurmountable advantage

2. the idea that white guys cant play basketball is so pervasive white guys lose confidence and cant believe in themselves

3. white people are afraid of black people so they cower near the 3pt line

4. white men cant lol jump

― ice cr?m, Wednesday, 16 December 2009 23:48 (fifteen years ago)

#2 seems directly influenced by the documentary 'teen wolf' in which the only way a white hoops player can excel is if he has superpowers from being a wolf

― standing on the verge of getting it rong (m bison), Wednesday, 16 December 2009 23:56 (fifteen years ago)

teen wolfs seem to be the race most adept at basketball, tho the sample size it admittedly small

i've pretty much given up on hinrich as an nba player, but i do wonder if his career would have been better had he ever been paired with a normal-sized shooting guard instead of trying to guard 2s and share point duties alongside gordon and duhon.
