Most of the NBA's all-time greats are black, but there have also been many great white players who have taken their place on the all-time list and added glory to the league with their efforts and glory.
From NBA legends like Larry Bird, George Meehan, and John Stockton to some of today's greatest NBA stars like Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, and Kevin Love, this list has it all. The likes of Kurt Rambis, Kevin McHale, Paul Westfale, Bob Cousy and John Havlicek are close behind, and don't forget that Jerry West, the NBA's logo man, is also white.
Let's take a look at who the greatest white people are.
First: Larry Bird
Place of Birth: Indiana
Team: Boston Celtics Location: Small Forward
Larry Bird is the undisputed NBA legend in the top 10 of all time, and he has made a huge impact on the league with his extraordinary vision of the court and natural basketball skills. Before Jordan came out, the Boston Celtics and Magic led the Lakers to compete for supremacy, injecting incomparable vitality into the NBA. The black-and-white hegemony was bright for a while, and it became a proper headline of the year.
During his time with the Boston Celtics, Bird was a 12-time All-Star, winning three MVPs and three NBA championships.
And with its arrogant outfit 13 level, it is the best in the world. "I'm here to win the championship, which of you will take the second?", these are the words he said to the other competitors during the three-point contest, and sure enough, the final winner is his.
"I don't need to run, I'm just going to wait here, and when my teammates are going to pass the ball to me, I'm going to shoot right here," is what he said to the defender, and then he really shot in that position and went in. Therefore, Chinese fans respectfully call him the king of force.
Therefore, there is no doubt that he is in first place.
Second: Dek Nowitzki
Place of birth: Würzburg, Germany
Team: Dallas Mavericks Position: Big Forward
Dirk Nowitzki is an outstanding representative of international players, and as a white player, his all-time scoring total can reach the top 6 position, which shows his ability. He is tall and long, but he has a flexible pace at his feet, delicate skills, and a few stable mid-range shots, which is the offensive core of the team, and the defense is not collapsed.
As the primary contributor to the Mavericks' championship in 2011, he is loved by all Mavericks fans. It also cemented his status in the top 20 of the greatest players in NBA history.
As a result, he ranked second most successful white after Big Bird Bird.
Third: John Stockton
Place of Birth: Spokane, Washington
Team: Utah Jazz Position: Point guard
Stockton, as a leader in white guards, will naturally come up with a discussion of rankings. He is the NBA's all-time assist leader, with 15,806 career assists, the second place Jason Kidd is less than 3,000 less, and Paul, who is still playing, is more than 4,000 less, almost impossible to challenge. As a result, this record is also one of the hardest NBA records to break.
Stockton has barely missed a game and belongs to the top of the Iron Man among the whites. He and Carl Malone formed the Utah Twins, and they were a well-known duo in the 90s. The two finals fell at the feet of the flying Jordan, which is also the regret of the life of the double evil.
Although he has no crown in his life, he can be called the king of no crown, so he deserves to be in the third place on this list.
Fourth: Nikolai Jokic
Place of birth: Serbia
Team: Denver Nuggets Position: Center
European players are characterized by comprehensive skills and solid basic skills. Like Nuo Tianwang, Mr. Yoo has all the offensive weapons that an interior player should have, and he also has one more point, which is the ability to shoot three-point shots with a very high shooting percentage. Perfectly suited to the requirements of today's most consummate centre-forward, and his passing is dazzling and fake, and he is better at passing than the average defender.
As a result, he will go down in history as the center with the most triple-doubles. A big man who can't jump can shoot and score in the paint zone, finish with hooks, and finish three-pointers, and when you're in the middle, a brilliant pass can make you worse than dead. So, he's a defender's nightmare.
The '22-23 season was near-perfect for Joshua as he led the Denver Nuggets to a championship. As a result, he finished in the top four. However, no one knows what will be easier for him to get later, so his position will continue to improve.
Fifth: Jerry West
Place of Birth: Cellian, West Virginia
Team: Los Angeles Lakers Position: Point Guard, Quarterback
Jerry West is known as the LOGO man because his silhouette appears in the NBA logo. Jerry West has left an indelible mark on the sport. An explosive scorer and tenacious defender, West was a 14-time All-Star and won one NBA championship and Finals MVP with the Los Angeles Lakers. These achievements are enough to make him fondly remembered in NBA history.
That's all for the top five whites of all-time, with Nash coming in sixth and talented teenager Doncic in seventh. This talented player has exploded in form this season, breaking the scoring record, and the future is limitless, and it is estimated that the sky is his limit.
With the current situation of Mr. Yoo and Doncic, and both of them are still very young, this list is subject to change.
