    American white guys can't dunk.
    European white guys CAN dunk.

    You have to be more specific.

    There are only a handful of white guys in the NBA who are NOT European even worth discussing.

    Have you ever seen a short white guy dunk in the NBA ? No you haven't because it's never happened. Tell me what I said that is off base. A white guy the similar height of Spud Webb has never dunked in the nba and probably can't because it hasn't been done before. Thats not a racist comment like you think its a plain fact. Rex Chapman, Brent Barry those guys were 6'4, 6'6.

    There has never been any other guy the size of Spud Webb dunk in the NBA.

    I'm a white guy, similar height to Spud Webb, that has dunked.

    I am not going to go through the record books looking for 'dunks by white guys'.....but, I will tell you this....the sport, based on height doesn't really lend itself to the shorter players dunking..period.....How many 'short white guys' are in the league?? christ, how many 'short black guys' are in the league......

    But, if you would like to say that all white people can't jump but, they are gracious winners...sounds good......lets think up a few more too...this could be fun!!!

    Sure some white guys can jump but they tend to be on the taller side. That was my whole point. Could Mark Price jump out of the building ? Of course not.

    Dunking isn't really that difficult...dunking IN a game is the trick......

    So Mark Price couldn't jump out of the building because of his skin color????

    Really.....

    There are very few short athletic white basketball players out there. Jason Williams probably played with tons of blacks from the hood on the playgrounds growing up which helped him hone his skills a lot. Mark Price probably played on a mostly surburban white team against other white players.

    I still cannot figure out how some of these NBA players stop in the air and suspend the laws of gravity. I am six foot tall and I think I am very athletic, but I cannot even touch the rim of the hoop.

    Well, I cannot jump, but at least I can score a goal almost every time from the corner flag. (Assuming there is no goalie and no defenders, of course).

    Hey, maybe we cannot jump but we managed to beat the guys who can.

    That's the funniest thing I've read all day. And I thought natural athleticism combined with training helped you jump. But no, it's playing with blacks in that urban concrete jungle that is West Virginia!
