Random NBA trivia

I heard this on the radio this morn.

The question was how many American born white players drafted since 1990 have made the all star team?

The follow up question was name the player(s).

While I was trying to figure out the first one I figured out the second one and rather quickly too.

Here's a hint. He's not Scala.

I could only think of Sczrebiak.

Excellent guess. I just checked that. Turns out he was born in Spain. I don't know what his deal is exactly. He wasn't the answer on the radio.

Here are my guesses.

Mark Price
Dan Marjle
Chris Mullin
John Stockton
Mike Miller

Wow, my mind draws a blank after the mid 90's. Has there been that much of a drought in terms of white american born players making the All-Star team? I mean, I know guys like Brent Barry and Mike Dunleavy participated in the All-Star festivities, like the 3 pt contest and skills challenge, but aside from that, I can't remember any other in the All-Star game.

I also wondered about Mullin, but I think those first 4 guys were drafted before 1990 and Miller hasn't made it.

I kinda wonder if maybe Marlje or Mullin were born in Holland or something

[DERRENMATTS]

Oh, my bad. I forgot it was players drafted after 1990.

Wow, I'm drawing a blank. Is Jason Kidd considered a white American?

[cfoo]

Mike Bibby.

[cfoo]

Chris Kaman? Has he made the allstar team?

[cfoo]

Tom Gugliotta? It has to be googs.

[cfoo]

Christian Laetner also made the allstar team once i believe. Laettner and Googs. Bibby and Kidd are both half white aren't they?

I believe he's German-born

we need to trade for googs back. Seriously i cant even believe he played the c's. I know he did but i can't believe it so much i can't even remember it. I remember he was here for some reason but i just cant picture it for some reason. googs was the man though just because his name is googs. i remember that much. TAlk about a should be legend just for his uniqueness though. Plus he could flat out play for a while there. Googs is the type of guy you'd take in nba jam and just completely own with him. The answer here has to be Tom Gugliotta. I just know it. PLayed for the c's. WAs the 3rd wheel with Marbury and KG. He made an allstar team. He's legend in his own way. He's probably the greatest white american basketball player in the past 20 years. Go white boy.

According to the radio it was Laetner. I guess Bibby and Kidd aren't white. Also it has been pointed out that the radio apparently got it wrong cause Googs also counts. The only thing I can think of is if maybe Googs was an injury replacement or someting, but then they should have said that.

I'd like to think if it weren't for the accident Hurley would have made it.

I am looking in the direction of Brook Lopez and maybe Mike Dunleavey in the future, but I figure they'll say Lopez is actually hispanic

[eja117]

I guess Kirk Heinrich hasn't made it. I'm not sure

[cfoo]

Give me googs or give me death. I actually think Laetner was an injury replacement. Googs was the real deal. I could be compltely wrong here though.
