Less recognition? Moses was a 3 time MVP. Dantley was traded by the pistons 😅

Wonderful, let's bring racism into basketball... tedious...

When MJ was asked name your all time starting line up- "Me and Magic, Bird, Worthy, McHale or Malone, David Robinson or Abdul-Jabbar." So when the goat says Bird top 5 starting line up, I don't gaf what zeke or Rodman or the "black community" think.

Good try but you have no center....Mikan is the obvious choice as he is a top 20 player but Walton would work too...Got to bump Barry which is difficult but he is not beating out Bird. the lowest guy on the all-time list from your group is Stockton...not a top 50 player... Cousy is way ahead of him on the all-time pantheon...why did you not go with him?

Pistol Pete Bro!

Kareem said the best player he ever played against was Larry Bird - not Jordan, not Wilt - because of his mind; James Worthy said he'd rather guard Jordan then Bird for the same reason. Both Rodman and Thomas are on KZbin talking about how Bird torched them. They only made their statements in the moment out of anger and frustration because the Celtics had just sent them home again. Bird could have made a big deal about the whining but just blew it off, saving both of them from a world of backlash. This whole video is fundamentally racist. No one ever said Bird played dirty, just hard; Lambeer played dirty. Dirk, Steve Nash, Mikan, Cousy, Havelicek, Walton, Pettit, Luka, ...

In their totality, without hypotheticals, George Milan’s career challenges Bill Walton. Availability counts towards greatness.

This was a stupid premise from the beginning, and not worth 20 minutes of your time. First, trying to disguise the overt racism by calling them "Whyte" players is an offense to all basketball players, be they black, white or brown. Remember there was a time (not so long ago) when the best black college players couldn't get scholarships to most NCAA teams. It wasn't for lack of ability, clearly. It was based solely on skin color. What if all left-handers were banned? Or all players over 6'8" or under 5'6"? How about anyone named Johnson? Or Jones? or Smith? Doesn't that sound ridiculous? No more so than this "Whyte" thing.

Whyte? Is that because you cant spell? Keep making it worse, guy. Reported and thumbs down

NBA all time whyte international team 1. Steve Nash 2. Šarūnas Marčiulionis 3. Manu Ginóbili 4. Dirk Nowitzki 5. Nikola Jokić

Bill Walton Pete Maravich Nikola Jokic Luka Doncic John Havlicek

Bird. You guys just can't stand that an unathletic white boy is better than anything you have. Suck it up, Bird is the goat!

DAN ISSEL DAN ISSEL DAN ISSEL

The greatest team ever that represents all america is the Dream team One!! This is Consisted of 8 Black American's and 4 White American's.they are all American's by birth,by Citizenship, nationality loyalty and Patriotism.in shorts,they are all Americans.👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

What about Bob Pettit?

You're stupid why would you even make a video if you want to act so stupid

Jerry Lucas

Bobby Jones, and Jack Sikma deserve some credit too.

Jerry West,Pete Maravich,Larry Bird,Rick Barry,Bill Walton. Starting 5.

I like the video documentary but you forgot the center. You have a point guard, shooting guard, two small forwards, and a power forward. You need a center., I was thinking about either Bill Walton or George Mikan.

Black pride is equal to white pride and both are legitimate.

This is dumb. Larry is the best regardless of race. Why even do this?

Bird is a hands down - I put him at floating PF/SF. Havliceck and McHale alternating at the other forward slot. Perhaps Griffen as the last backup - I want someone that played when defense existed which makes it tougher. Walton WHEN he is healthy, backed up by Cowens for center. Dirk was a good outside shot (much less for a center) but otherwise not as overall impactful. West at SG - playoffs mastery matters! Backed up by Louis Dampier (though he didn't play in the NBA during his prime, he DID play in the league his last 2-3 years). Stockton backed by Cousy at PG.

Yeah, I was wrong but I went with pg, sg, sf, PF, c format. 🤷🏾‍♂️😂🤣

Before the video!!! It’s at 0:09! Stockton is already up but that’s a no brainer! Sg- J. West Sf- L. Doncic Pf- L. Bird C- N. Jokic

If you can find any interview, anywhere, that shows Jordan claiming that Bird played dirty, I'd love to see it because i don't believe it. Jordan has said that Larry was the only player with no holes in his game. One big incorrect statement you made that i shall correct... Rodman was the guy who said if bird was black he"d be considered more average as a player. Thomas was a good captain who decided he should just back up his teammate, even if he didn't believe it, so he said he agreed with Rodman. There is no other time that I've ever found that Thomas said anything negative about Larry. He tells stories about how he was in awe of things Larry did. Also, years later Rodman said that he 'couldn't believe that as a younger man he disparaged Larry like that' now that he was older and smarter and really understood how good Larry was. Larry never led the league in FG%.... no kidding. High volume mid range shooters don't lead the league in Fg%. Guys who live in the paint do. Never ked the league in points average. Yeah.... that's because he liked to spread the wealth and let his teammates eat, too. Are you aware, though, that Larry shot 50.0/39.8/90.6 over his last 8 seasons, putting up 25.6/9.5/6.9? Those are not the numbers of an overrated player

Last time I checked, Rick Barry led the NBA in 50-point games.

Jerry West- point guard (forget Stockton), John Havlicek- shooting guard (scorer, lock down defender, does dirty work), Rick Barry- small forward (big gun and great passer), Larry Bird- power forward (he's big and he can get you 20 rebounds), Bill Walton- center (all-time great when healthy). Honorable mention: Bob Petit, Nicola Jocik, Luka Doncic (and that's pretty much it). These are the only guys who would stand a chance against an all-time black team.

“The Black community “… stop right there. Please. Don’t generalize. Media driven narratives. There’s not a consensus vote… especially in regards to athletes, sports. Fans hated the Celtics as a franchise… the media already set the narrative, Bird versus Magic.. I love the game of basketball… not a fanboy. Many of my generation felt the same. Bird was “nice” and legendary before he came to the NBA. Basketball fans knew how good Bird was. Just like we knew how good other white players were good in that era… All of us understand the media bias, that is real, and always has been. Social media has exaggerated the narrative… another frustration of the OG fans… most of us didn’t hold any prejudice or bias against white basketball players. I will light heartedly agree that many black OG fans have stereotypes, and will express them out loud, … “that white boy athletic AF”…. and we already believe all white guys can shoot. lol.

Chris Mullen

I like the list but there was no center. Remove Rick Barry and put in Bill Walton.

Never been a fan a racial breakdowns like this. How about just the best teams or players?

Bird and Pistol pete from LSU are my 2 best white players Im a black American

Not sure what the criteria was. I'm an older black man. And, luckily I had the pleasure of seeing them all play. Bird was the real deal as a player. But. You should take a look at the numbers for another Celtic. John Havlicek.

Best white team would be. Ray Emerick, Jose Da silva, Mark Eaton, Larry Bird, Roca Billwood.

Denigrating Larry Bird is is some ways similar to Caitlin Clark's success as a rookie. There is both jealousy and some racism by some of the black WNBA players who can't stand the fact that a white girl plays better than them (as a rookie!0. I think Isiah was jealous when the Celtics /Larry beat them over and over again before the Pistons rose to the top. There was a good comment below that some of the VERY GREATEST players of all time like Kareem, Michael and Magic praised Bird; even Barkley who hated Bird early in his career (because Bird beat the 76ers) eventually acknowledged his respect and greatness of Bird.

He did not have a long career, but Bill Walton who swept Kareems Lakers and then beat him again as a Celtic. Not too bad. When Healthy he was one of the best.

Greatest white American team ever is easy: PF Bob Pettit, SF Larry Bird, C Dave Cowens, PG John Stockton, SG Jerry West. So yes you got a few right . Black American is tougher, since there are so many greats.

If the starting five isn’t Bird, McHale, Walton, pistol Pete and Stockton then you should probably be rethinking your picks but I do have Dirk, Smits, Luca, Joker and Nash a close second 😉

Larry,Bird,Jerry West, Bill Walton, John Stockton and Chris Mullin. Done

I would say Stockton, Luka, Bird, Dirk, Jokic if all whites, including Europeans.

That's what's so great about living in America. Everyone has a right to their opinion no matter how racially biased or prejudice it sounds. You know what they say.... "Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one. I have to correct you on a fact check about you claiming Bird was drafted in 1979. As a matter of fact, he was drafted after the completion of his junior year at ISU, because the rules then were that a player only had to be 4 years passed his original time of collegiate enrollment. After signing with Bob Knight's Indiana Hoosiers, Larry dropped out after 28 days due to the size and lack of necessities a poor kid stricken with poverty could handle, so he went back home and collected a paycheck working as a trash collector for the city's street department. He didn't go to Boston to play in 1979 opting to return for his senior year at the smaller ISU with it being so close to home and he promised momma he would graduate. Magic will tell you himself that Larry deserved the rookie of the year over himself due to the NBA's biggest win/lose record turnaround for a franchise in league history. My personal opinion is that Bird wass a very good defensive player with his rebounding and superior basketball IQ having performed what I believe to be the single greatest defensive play of all-time with the legendary steal in game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals of 1987 against Detroit. Also I'd like to add that though Bernard King was a very good solid offensive threat, he couldn't tie Larry Birds shoes. Bird's easily a top 10 all-time NBA player at #7 on my list of greatest players in the history of the league.

"Whyte" is racist, learn to properly spell. Also why are you segregating them by race?

You are a terrible racist. I am done with your channel.

George Mikan: Bob Pettit: Larry Bird(greatest player period) Jerry West: Bob Cousy.

Jerry west rip😢😢

i'm still NOT 100% certain about the future at 16:49 and 16:38 in my OPINION these legends individual stats go in this order the #1 scoring from kareem abdul-jabbar #2 scoring from michael jordan #3 passing from magic johnson #4 scoring from larry bird #5 shotblocking from hakeem olajuwon #6 shotblocking from kareem abdul-jabbar THEREFORE in my OPINION the 1980 rookie of the year SHOULD'VE been magic johnson and MOST IMPORTANTLY the 1980 1982 and 1987 finals mvp without any doubt AT ALL SHOULD'VE been kareem abdul-jabbar

i'm still NOT 100% certain about the future if you look at minorities vs foreign players in my OPINION these legends rank #6 larry bird #7 jerry west #8 hakeem olajuwon #11 bob pettit #12 pete maravich #13 george mikan #14 bob cousy and #15 john havlickek

Stockton west bird mccale Walton easy

You need a center. Bill Walton is the obvious choice with Dave Cowens backing him up. John Havlicek, Pete Maravich, and Bob Cousy are on the team too.
