9.89 would've won gold in the 1992 Olympic final.

OKC, Spurs and Knicks are the faves, and Chet is the only non-black key player for any of them (Hartenstein is part black).

Arsenal are now nine points clear at the top of the table, so he'll likely surpass Phil Foden as the youngest ever recipient of a Premier League winner's medal! He's left-footed and his main position is attacking midfield, but he also plays on the right wing.

I'd say Chet is already the best white American since Kevin Love, but he's still only 23, so more likely than not he overtakes Love, which would make him the best white American since Stockton. Will he ever overtake Stockton? Probably not, but you never know!

Only two white guys have won the award before: Mark Eaton and Marc Gasol. At this point, I think it's fair to call Chet the third best white player in the league; after Joker and Luka. Source

When Dirk was 15, he was in Bavaria in 1993. When Jokic was 15, he was in Serbia in 2010. When Stockton was 15, he was in Spokane, Washington in 1977. When Luka was 15, he was in Madrid in 2014. When Nash was 15, he was in British Columbia in 1989. When Ginobili was 15, he was in Argentina...

The last time two white guys were top 2 in Rookie of the Year voting for either the NBA or the ABA was 1971, when the top two were Dave Cowens and Geoff Petrie (Pete Maravich was third.) Source

They're both slower than Lemaitre, who is definitely white.

Adam Gemili is half-Moroccan, so he's technically of African descent, just not black.

Like Boling, there's something "off" about him; he looks like a quadroon. Here he is with his family, aged 14: ...his mom and the two older sisters also look a little "off".

Voter fatigue is a thing; it gets boring if you just give it the same guy every year. It's probably better to look at top 2 finishes. Looking at Jokic vs some of the more famous NBA players, and how many times they finished top 2 in MVP voting: LeBron - 8 (06, 09, 10, 12, 13, 14, 18, 20)...
