Does anyone recall which NBA players made comments about white players only making their respective teams because they were white? |

I don't think it was a player but Stephen A. Smith who works for ESPN has made remarks similar to that in the past. |

Reminded me of this old topic:
said by nytimes.com :Isiah Thomas, who has been caught up in a furor over comments he made about Larry Bird last week, made a public plea for understanding today in the company of the Celtic forward. Shortly after Thomas arrived in Los Angeles, where the Celtics were preparing to meet the Lakers in tonight's second game of the National Basketball Association Finals, the two players appeared at a crowded news conference at the Celtics' hotel. It was an effort to end the controversy that has grown since the Detroit Piston guard told reporters last Saturday that if Bird were black he ''would be just another good guy'' instead of being portrayed as the league's best player. The remarks came after an emotional seventh-game loss to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals. |

I don't know about white players but 25 years ago the joke used to be the ugliest players did form their own team and called themselves the Celtics |
