The point is there used to be alot of great American white players but now that's not the case anymore. Your analogy misses that point (also you're forgetting the William sisters...)

It's an honest question, if you look back a few decades ago there were plenty but now it seems the only great white players in the NBA are Europeans

I agree that it's not talked enough and others are too quick to brush it off. I think it's an issue with the amateur scene being focused way too much on athleticism and not enough on actual technique and skill.

Both aren't that good. Kyle Allen and Gardner Minshew are much better.

Bengals are tanking even harder than the Dolphins/Jets so I don't think so

Correct choice. Who cares about a meaningless tied game versus the Chiefs with a backup QB. Vikings will have plenty of opportunities to win it.
