I'm wondering if the Washington Wizards, now that David Lee is playing more for New York, qualify for the NBA's most caste oriented team. I'm wondering when, and who their last white player of any significance played with them.

The well-traveled Christian Laettner played forWashington for almost three years until playing for Miami last season. I think Toronto has gone the longest period of time without a good white player.

Washington, New York,Toronto... notice how all those teams are horrible? (Well the wizards did make it to the playoffs for like the first time in ages... heck was it their first time in the playoffs as the Wizards and not the Bullets?!?!?!) The conclusion I draw is that at least some European and European-American players are needed to be successful even with all the ways the NBA has been changed to favor the negro 'me first' playing style (as opposed to the International Playing style where team work is important.)
