USA Olympic Team
I think it is interesting to look at Team USA's roster and see the racial breakdown. Over the past 40 years, it is clear that the white basketball player has been virtually phased out of the NBA. That being said, this roster clearly represents that notion with only one white player, Kevin Love. When I was watching their first game on Sunday vs. France, the racial aspect was very clear to me. Just twenty years ago in 1992, the Dream Team had four white players - Christian Laettner, Larry Bird, Chris Mullin and John Stockton.
