Once you Go White...

White Guy NBA All Star Game:

   This would be a living museum of how the sport would have looked if it weren't for the ground-breaking done by men like Fritz Pollard and Jackie Robinson. I'd work it into the Dunk Contest/3 Point Shootout part of the festivities.

   The big problem for me would be whether to count Hispanic guys as white or not. Charlie Sheen would say "yes," but Mariah Carey may have a different view.

   I'll leave it to my audience, and I'll just go by looks (i.e., Nene isn't white, while Manu Ginobili is).      

   This was more difficult than it sounds. Some solid white big man talent is sitting on the waiver wire for Bob Sura's inclusion, but we needed guards. Likewise, only some creativity on my part prevented the East from being an entire team of huge European centers.     

   In case you ever wondered about this, only the injury-prone status of Andrei Kirilenko prevents one from fielding a White Bread NBA fantasy team. There also seems to be a Petrovic-sized hole at White Boy shooting guard.
