Basically, the all-"I need six more fouls off the bench" team.

First row, from left to right: Shawn Bradley, Robert Swift, Joel Przybilla

Second row, from left to right: Chris Kaman, “The White Center Bunch” in red text, Greg Ostertag

Third row, from left to right: Bryant Reeves, Chris Mihm, Eric Montross

A critical analysis of white centers? Basically what I’m trying to say is that white centers are the most amusing players to watch in the NBA. They get posterized and they give you six more fouls off the bench. But seriously, this shows how African-Americans (and to a point, Eastern Europeans) have hegemony over the NBA. Everyone notices how great LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Kobe Bryant, and Chris Paul are, but what makes them so famous is the fact that they dunk over white centers.

Honorable Mention: Rik Smits. Except he was good and these guys aren’t. He’s also immune to getting posterized.

Honorable Mentions Not Named Rik Smits: Andrew DeClercq, Rasho Nesterovic, Sean Marks 

Honorable Mention That Isn’t A White Center: Andrei Kirilenko. Baron Davis (the traitor who bolted the Warriors for more money) posterized him so bad he ended up playing more like Andrew DeClercq.
