Does Kidd count, given his dad was African American? Anyway, no need to add him as Bird was far and away a better player than Kidd. Would have to look back further for any contenders to Bird I'd think...maybe Pete Maravich, Bob Cousy, Jerry West?
So what happens if the guy on the left goes to Africa for a few months and gets well tanned :-k. Or what if Jordan decides to do a Michael Jackson pigment situation, does he become a contender LMAO(sorry i couldnt resist
).
PM would have been better
hahahahaha
:v:Nah come on...so who has been the best??

haha!!!! awesome thread!
I don't think Bird was that good, so I wouldn't class him as the greatest white player ever!
He was a great shooter and leader, but nothing really impresses me of what he did!
But he'd be up there with the greatest white fellas!
John Stockton is up there.
Up there also would be Jason Kidd for sure, but he's half black, so not sure if he counts!
But he's the real only major great white player since Bird/Stockton besides Nash, Dirk and Ginoboli!
Pistol Pete, Rick Barry, Jerry West, Havlicek. There's more, but mostly from the early days!!

Ok, here's how i ranked it in terms of players between 1980 to 2008.
1.Larry Bird - 3 championships and 3 MVP Awards along with a whole lot of silverware.
2.Stockton - All-time assist and steals leader. Also a offensive presence with a 51% career fg average.
3.Nash - 2 time MVP. Hardly play's any defense so Stock get's the nod.
4.Kidd - A level way below Stock and Nash. Can distribute but can't score.
5.Dirk

George Mikan sounds like he was a great player from all the stats and the stuff i read about him.
Pistol Pete was 30 years ahead of his time, 40+ points per game in 3 years at college and no 3 point line? that is just crazy.
But u cant go past Jerry West, Mr Clutch and he is the NBA Logo. I also think he is the real life Professor X, after convincing the Hornets to trade Kobe for Divac.
