And really, that's all we have here: our own unintentional amusement.

	^^^ D--- it, I switched to contacts years ago! All-white [mixed race] team vs. all-black [mixed race] team? To me, that's mildly amusing. Do you think the original topic really requires discussion? Oh well...

	Will Bynum is good, why is he on this list? Replace him with Rafer Alston __________________ Jeff Van Gundy: "The NBA, where SOFT happens" <><><><><><><

	Better yet, All-IRAN scrub team vs. All ST. VINCENT AND GRENADINES, who wins? Iran: Hamed Haddadi St. Vincent: Adonal Foyle __________________ The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

All-black or all-white team? Neither.

Self-loathing Nazi B Team FTL:

Hitler really wanted to beat Jesse Owens in the Olympics that year.

This looks to be in 1909. Way before Hitler started using the swastika. Its interesting that what looks to be native Americans are using an Indian (Hindu) symbol.

	Black team. They have better genes due to slavery and the passing down of the more dominant traits. What is up with people being so sensitive about racism? The year is 2009, get over it. __________________ Landry is a BEAST! Don't trade him! The Ideal Lineup Brooks/Lowry Martin/Taylor Ariza/Budinger Scola/Hill/Hayes Yao/Miller Back up center!
