For Your Reading and Viewing Pleasure, I Present: Sam Dekker is Every White Guy Who Has Ever Played in the NBA...

[Proudiddy]

Considering the extremes that fans of professional basketball have reached when it comes to white guys (I have even fell victim to it), here is pretty funny (and sad) article from Awful Announcing.  It really illustrates the absurdity of it all, and it's funny to pull back the scope a little bit and see how dumb it really looks:

Sam Dekker is every white guy who has ever played in the NBA

Sam Dekker is a white guy.

If you watched the NBA Draft on Wednesday night, or any Wisconsin basketball game over the past few years, you already know this.

But you’d also know it by the player comparisons to Dekker.  As friend of AA Paul Pabst likes to always note, there’s a funny quirk when it comes to scouting reports and player comparisons where white guys always get compared to other white guys, no matter how similar or dissimilar their games might actually be.  This hypothesis manifested itself when ESPN’s Jalen Rose dusted off the Wally Szczerbiak tape from out of nowhere as Dekker’s NBA doppelganger.  Even Kyle Lowry of the Raptors joked that Rose was just comparing players who looked alike.

Naturally, it wasn’t just Sczerbiak who was compared to Dekker on draft day.  No, no, no, no.  In fact, you can make the case that Sam Dekker is basically every white guy who has ever laced it up in the association….

I refuse to call it the "Association," that sounds incredibly stupid. It's a fuging league, whether "league" is in the name or not. God this era of NBA blows ass compared to the 80s and 90s

Jalen's comparisons were just laughable last night. Kyle Lowry had it right...Jalen was just picking guys who looked like the player selected.

Dark skinned guys are compared to other dark skinned guys.

Light skinned compared to light skinned 

White to white, etc.

My favorite comparisons are, "...he is like a more/less athletic version of..."...

...so what you're saying is that he is, in fact, not comparable...
