A Look at the NBA for the '09-'10 Season:
I have created a grading scale (as related to fairness to white ballers). This is how the grading criteria is derived:
We are approximately a 75% white country. Teams carry 13-15 roster players. Despite the fact that basketball is HUGE in the black community and in inner city school yards in America, a team won't meet the satisfactory grade unless right around half the listed roster and half the playing time goes to white players. Basketball is also huge in parts of Europe- and there should be more of an influx of white players with the talent pool over there as well. This is especially so, with how well Spain and Argentina have done against the U.S in international play. Many American whites still practice hardcore for their dream of making it in the NBA. Basketball is by no means a "black thing"Â- despite attempts to make white ballers feel inferior by the media. If fair- the majority of the teams in the NBA would grade out to 14 points or more, with of course some variation in points from team to team.
Grading will be derived as follows:
3 points for each white starter.
2 points for each white 2nd team player.
1 point for each white 3rd team player.
Satisfactory Grade (C and up): 14 points or more.
C-: 12-13 points
D+: 10-11 points
D: 7-9 points
D-: 5-6 points
F=Fully frekin racist: 0-4 points
Atlanta Hawks:
White Starters: 0
White 2nd Team: 1- C Zaza Pachulia
White 3rd team: 0
2 pts.:Grade: F (for fully frekin racist)
Boston "Celtics"Â:
White Starters: 0
White 2nd Team: 0
White 3rd Team: 1- PF Brian Scalabrine
1 pt.: Grade: F (fully frekin racist; the "Celtics"Â have a lot of black star power, but refuse to acknowledge there is a lot of white star power out there as well)
Charlotte Bobcats:
White Starters: 0
White 2nd Team: 1- SF Vladimir Radmanovic
White 3rd Team: 0
2 pts.: Grade: F (fully frekin racist)
Chicago Bulls:
White Starters: 0
White 2nd Team: 2- PG Kirk Hinrich, C Brad Miller
White 3rd Team: 1- C Aaron Gray
5 pts.: Grade: D-

White 2nd Team: 1- C Zydrunas Ilgauskas
White 3rd Team: 1- SG Coby Karl
6 pts.: Grade: D-
Dallas Mavericks:
White Starters: 1- PF Dirk Nowitzki
White 2nd Team: 1- PG Jose Juan Barea
White 3rd Team: 2- SG Matt Carroll, PF Kris Humphries (Might be 1/4 black, but looks white enough to be labeled white by the caste system)
7 pts.: Grade: D
Denver Nuggets:
White Starters: 0
White 2nd Team: 1- PF/C Chris "Birdman"Â Anderson
White 3rd Team: 0
2 pts.: Grade: F (fully frekin racist)

3 pts.: Grade: F (fully frekin racist)
Houston Rockets:
White Starters: 1- PF Luis Scola
White 2nd Team: 2- SG/SF Chase Budinger, C David Anderson
White 3rd Team: 0
7 pts.: Grade: D (they also score points with me for having all star Chinese center Yao Ming. Asians are victims of the caste system as well. Unfortunately, Yao is out with a chronic foot injury indefinitely this year)
Indiana Pacers:
White Starters: 3- SG/SF Mike Dunleavy (will back up Granger at SF, but will get a lot of time at SG while they groom Brandon Rush- whose still a bit raw going into his 2nd NBA season. I'm not worried about Dahntay Jones at SG, he's never been more than an average journeyman at best. Dunleavy should see close to 30 minutes a game, so he's basically a starter) PF Troy Murphy, C Jeff Foster
White 2nd Team: 1- PF Josh McRoberts
White 3rd Team: 2- PG Travis Diener, PF Tyler Hansbrough (should earn more time- as he should improve quickly as a rookie with the skills he brings to the table)
13 pts.: C- (And the DWFs and media are laughing about the Pacers being a "white haven"Â for a team that earns a C- for fairness to whites.
Los Angeles Clippers:
White Starters: 1- C Chris Kaman
White 2nd Team: 0
White 3rd Team: 1- SF Steve Novak
4 pts.: Grade: F (fully frekin racist)
Los Angeles Lakers:
White Starters: 1- PF Pau Gasol
White 2nd Team: 2- SG Sasha Vujacic, SF Luke Walton (Jordan Farmer looks as much as 1/2 black and is considered black by the caste system.)
White 3rd Team: 2- SG/SF Tony Gaffney, SF Adam Morrison
9 pts.: Grade: D
Memphis Grizzlies:
White Starters: 1- C Marc Gasol
White 2nd Team: 1- SG Marco Jaric
White 3rd Team: 0 (although Iranian center Hamed Haddadi looks to have a mix of Aryan (Azeri), Persian and Mongoloid features and doesn't benefit from the caste system)
5 pts.: Grade: D-
Miami Heat:
White Starters: 0
White 2nd Team: 1- PG Chris Quinn
White 3rd Team: 2- PG Carlos Arroyo, PF Shavlik Randolph
4 pts.: Grade: F (fully frekin racist)
Milwaukee Bucks:

White 2nd Team: 3- PG Luke Ridnour, SG/SF Carlos Delfino, PF Joe Alexander (Alexander is nursing a hamstring injury. His minutes will slowly be increased when he returns)
White 3rd Team: 2- PG Roko Ukic, SF Ersan Ilyasova
11 pts.: Grade: D+
Minnesota Timberwolves:
White Starters: 1- PF Kevin Love (recovering from a broken left hand)
White 2nd Team: 2- SG Sasha Pavlovic, SF/PF Oleksiy Pecherov
White 3rd Team: 1- PF Brian Cardinal
8 pts.: Grade: D
New Jersey Nets:
White Starters: 1- C Brook Lopez (researched to find his father is a half black Cuban so he's 1/4 black. However, this Stanford grad looks white, is basically white culturally (loves surfing)- and probably would be considered such by the caste system)
White 2nd Team: 1- SF Eduardo Najera (A mostly white Mexican with maybe 1/4-3/8 Indigenous admixture)
White 3rd Team: 0
5 pts.: Grade: D- (the Nets also score points with me for having a rare Asian player on the roster, Chinese PF Yi Jianlian. He's raw, but has potential and is exciting)
New Orleans Hornets:
White Starters: 1- SF Peja Stojakovic (somehow listed as a backup behind Julian Wright by ESPN, but I just can't fathom that being true, they need Peja's shooting ability and Paul can get him easy looks- Peja still has all star type potential if he can stay healthy)
White 2nd Team: 1- PF Darius Songalia
White 3rd Team: 1- PF Sean Marks
6 pts.: Grade: D-
New York Knicks:
White Starters: 1- C David Lee
White 2nd Team: 2- SF Danilo Gallinari, C Darko Milicic
White 3rd Team: 0
7 pts.: Grade: D
Oklahoma City Thunder:
White Starters: 1- C Nenad Krstic
White 2nd Team: 3- SF Ryan Bowen, PF Nick Collison, C BJ Mullens (I expect him to pass scrub Etan Thomas before long)
White 3rd Team: 0
9 pts.: Grade: D
Orlando Magic:
White Starters: 1- PF Ryan Anderson (the Magic love Anderson's shooting ability on a team of lightning quick penetrators)
White 2nd Team: 3- PG Jason Williams, SG J.J Redick (Redick's sort of between 2nd and 3rd team right now b/c the Magic have both backup SFs Pietrus or Barnes, who they can plug in at backup shooting guard also. Redick is now an above average defender, but will have to get his field goal percentage up over 40% again to earn more time on this team of offensive and defensive stars. He'll have to get his 3 ball close to 40% as well. It's ironic that average mid range and 3 point shooting is what's hindering Redick's minutes right now), C Marcin Gortat
White 3rd Team: 0
9 pts.: Grade: D
Philadelphia 76ers:
White Starters: 0
White 2nd Team: 2- SG/SF Jason Kapono, PF Jason Smith

Portland Trailblazers:
White Starters: 1- PG Steve Blake (Listed as the starter, but will evenly split time with Andre Miller)
White 2nd Team: 2- SG Rudy Fernandez, C Joel Przybilla
White 3rd Team: 0
7 pts.: Grade: D
Sacramento Kings:
White Starters: 1- C Spencer Hawes (will get starter's minutes, but will come off the bench to make sure both him and Jason Thompson-the team's two big men- don't both get in foul trouble at once early in the game)
White 2nd Team: 2- PG Beno Udrih, SF Andrew Nocioni
White 3rd Team: 3- PG Sergio Rodriguez, SF Omri Casspi, PF/C Jon Brockman
10 pts.: Grade: D+
San Antonio Spurs:
White Starters: 1- SG Manu Ginobili (although not technically a starter, he'll play 30 minutes. Popovich said a few years ago- that he brings Manu off the bench because Manu gets the jitters if he starts on the floor at tip off and makes turnovers or gets in foul trouble.)
White 2nd Team: 1- PF Matt Bonner
White 3rd Team: 0
5 pts.: Grade: D-
Toronto Raptors:
White Starters: 3- PG Jose Calderon, SF Hedo Turkoglu, C Andrea Bargnani
White 2nd Team: 2- SG Marco Belinelli, C Rasho Nesterovic
White 3rd Team: 0

White 3rd Team: 1- C Paul Davis
6 pts.: Grade: D-
League Numbers:
White players: 95 of 434 in the NBA: 95/434= 21.9% white
White Starters: 27 of 150 in the NBA: 27/150= 18% white
White 2nd Team: 45 of 150 in the NBA: 45/150= 30% white
Rotation Players: 72 of 300 in the NBA: 69/300= 24% white
White 3rd Team: 23 of 134 in the NBA: 23/ 134= 17.2% white
Numbers may indicate a caste system: Numbers can show signs of discrimination. There are many white rotation players that are extremely important to the team's success, but starting them is rather rare. There are only 23 white 3rd team players on the cusp of NBA rosters. A white fringe player is likely to get cut to appease the CaucasianRivals media, DWFs and any racist blacks (if any are on the roster) for black fringe players based on supposed black "raw"Â upside. American white players often go from being "scrubs"Â and having to play in Europe to eventual key 2nd team guys in the NBA because they are much better than given credit for. Something doesn't add up here!
Points: 194 out of 884 points earned: 194/884: 21.9% of points are from white players.
Positional breakdown: For our purposes I will list SG/SFs as SGs and PF/Cs as PFs because whites are rarer at SG and PF than at SF and C.
There are 14 white PGs in the NBA
There are 17 white SGs in the NBA
There are 15 white SFs in the NBA
There are 22 white PFs in the NBA
There are 27 white Cs in the NBA
There were 90 white players on NBA rosters when last season kicked off. We have made a net gain of 5 white players!
