Great White NBA players

[SneakyQuick]

I’ll try to limit this to highlight reel clips. I think the forum on forgotten white track stars was cool enough to try to duplicate for what I remember of watching in the NBA.

I’ll start with a guy I remember being impressed with in his time at NC state. Tom Gugliotta. The guy was a beast.

How about AK 47. The fact that he is Russian makes it even more fun

This fits also under forgotten white athletes. Ernie Digregorio is mostly forgotten, but he could handle a basketball every bit as good as Pete Maravich. Had he been on better teams during his prime, it would be a different story:

That pass at about 1:20 was unreal!!

I had forgotten about him. He was quite the wizard with the ball.

Like Larry Bird, John Havlicek was another Celtic legend with a great all-around game.

George Mikan was the NBA's first dominant big man. He was a prolific scorer and tremendous rebounder. He later became commissioner of the ABA. You can tell from these grainy highlights how nimble and athletic he was even at 6'10" tall!

Has there ever been a better scorer, passer and all-around offensive force than Rick Barry?

Barry is the only man to lead the NCAA, ABA and NBA in scoring. (Couldn't find much in the way of good highlights, this one is best watched with the sound off.)

There early European Players from the 80's, 90's & 2000's paved the way forward for the current guys.
Here is one that some here may not know of. He could score at will. Sarunas Marciulionis!

Forgotten Player Profiles ​

Swen Nater was the only player who led the ABA and the NBA in rebounding. I would not call him great but, he was good.

 

[SneakyQuick]

I always felt Toni Kukoc was a better player than he got credit for being. Granted he was on some great teams but still.

Also I figured this would be more of like forgotten white athletes just the nba version. Don’t want to mix up with the track thread!
