But, Magic Johnson never dogs out the Mavs. I don't know how "Key" our white guys are, other than Nash and Dirk of course. Eddie is key, but he's more brown than white, Raef... oh Raef... I wish Raef played up to his potential. I've watched him since he was drafted by Denver. I even have a Raef La Frentz jersey (as well as Nick, Dirk, and Finley), I know he can do things, he could be like a baby Dirk Nowitzki, if he was in the right environment. Its just that Dallas needs him as a "Defensive Center", not an offensive threat. It would be the same result if we asked Dirk to be our "Defensive Center", both are good for Offense, but not much Defense (other than a block here and there). Shawn Bradley... A 7 foot, 6 inch paper weight. With him, and Evan Eschemayer out (Both with huge contracts), its making me realize just how worthless the two of them are.
Anyway, I say we have 2 key white players, and two key black players. (Nash, Nowitzki - Finley, Van Exel). I also think Raja Bell should get much more PT, I'm not a big fan of Adrian Griffen. What do you think?
: I believe Kenny Smith has gotten in on the act too, but what can I say... the black guys don't like it when a team wins with 4 or 5 key white guys.
