*born in da USA

1) Alex Rodriguez
2) Ted Williams (was passing, but he count)
3) Tony Gonzalez
4) Oscar De La Hoya
5) Carmelo Anthony
6) Anthony Munoz
7) Nancy Lopez

No reason to be sad, it's true.

And I'm being biased AGAINST 'Melo, if anything. Carmelo has
a claim on #4, honestly, as Oscar's financial legacy/social
impact was a lot better than his boxing career (which
was outstanding). And Ted Williams is white.

Reggie Jack was that dude, but bigger than those guys? Also, bigger than Tony Gonzalez, who is arguably the best TE of all time?

Reggie Jack was a clutch hitter and a HOF, but nobody would argue that he would be one of the tops at his position

>Reggie Jack was that dude, but bigger than those guys? Also,
>bigger than Tony Gonzalez, who is arguably the best TE of all
>time?

kinda hard to compare across different sports but yeah you probably right, although I'd probablly put Munoz above Tony G as far as football players. but i was mostly shitting on A-rod being in the #1 spot (even though it's probably correct)


>Reggie Jack was a clutch hitter and a HOF, but nobody would
>argue that he would be one of the tops at his position

Reggie was 6th on the all-time HR list before the roid ragers started passing him, but yeah.

In terms of latinos,

Blacktinos > Regala latinos > White-tinos

And that's giving the Regalas BOTH A-Rod and Gonzalez,
which is kind of me

Anthony: 1 NCAA Championship, Final Four Most Outstanding Player, 2nd Team All-American, and USBWA National Freshman of the Year.

Taurasi: 3 NCAA Championships, NCAA Tournament MVP 2x, Big East Player of the Year 2x, Wade Trophy, Nancy Lieberman Award 2x, Naismith Award 2x

I didnt even list Taurasi's chips and mvps in international play.Carmelo is a hall of famer because of his international and college career. Not his good but not great NBA career.

Even if she is HALF the whitest brand of "Latino"
there is

By your standards, she's higher than Tony Gonzalez

You could have just came in here praising her

Instead, you made an ass of yourself by saying Carmelo
"only made the NBA"

Taurasi, in her sport, is much more accomplished. We are talking about one of the ten greatest female players ever. Three-time champion at the pro, NCAA and Olympic levels. Gold medalist in all sorts of other international competition (Under-18, World Cup). I mean, come on.

She is an Argentinian, her mother is and while her father is of Italian descent but raised in Argentina. Is Manu not Latin American now? FOH. She also grew up in Chino, which is a majority Latino city.

Uh, I'm simply saying that I forgot her, because she doesn't
embrace that side of her culture at all...that's how she didn't
make my list

Other than Ted Williams, everyone on my list reps their latin-ness
pretty hard

That's what I'm saying

She's an easy oversight, because she don't rep it


>She is an Argentinian, her mother is and while her father is

He sure is. He actually rep it, unlike Taurasi, neither here
nor there

She also grew up in Chino, which is a
>majority Latino city.

Mexican city. There's no Argentinians there, and she doesn't
identify with that side of her culture

Not mad, though

She still count

She doesn't "rep" it? She grew up speaking Spanish, both parents from Argentina, lived in a Mexican area and actually *has* been outspoken about her heritage. But she looks white and doesn't wear a gaucho's uniform, so I guess she's just a milquetoast white lady.

probably the biggest gap i have seen between an athlete and his/her competition, ever. the really cold dudes in the HS scene at that time (tayshaun prince, tyson chandler, et al) were not nearly as exciting.

One of the best if not the best I've seen.

Never seen Cheryl Miller play.

Only thing I can compare her to was watching Cheryl Swoopes in college.

Taurasi is 2nd

I'm telling y'all that Della Donne might be a contender

And not even that close

He repped it at times for extra paper ala Victor Cruz, but he's

He's about as "Latino" as Ted Williams

I said Cruz reps his extra hard for PAPER, because
Latino NFL player is a huge, mostly unexplored market

He clearly did that to get more $$$ as a latino
athlete in New York City, which is a very high
profile thing to be

Not mad AT ALL

I'm all for BLACK people getting their hustle on

He's a good slot receiver, definitely (though he
might be done as a relevant player)

But he's notable because he salsa dances

LOL @ him being on "Power 100 Latino" lists

Carmelo was a national sensation before anyone knew he was
Latino, is headed to the Hall of Fame, is the most decorated
US FIBA player ever, and is a scoring champion.

Victor Cruz salsa dances after touchdowns.

Big difference.

Btw, I'm officially the most pro-Latino poster on OKS,
your non-support of Carmelo is borderline uncle ruckus status,
no disrespect

high anymore cuz he's Latino.

The point remains Melo has used being Latino for marketing and branding purposes. Just like Cruz.

Nothing wrong with that.

And I fucks with both heavily because they're both good and Latino.

>high anymore cuz he's Latino.

I SAID Carmelo doesn't have great GENES, which is
TRUE.

Compared to Lebron, Wade and Bosh he has the WORST NATURAL
ATHLETICISM out of all of them...BY FAR His game is PURE
technique, intellect, and precision. YOU SHOULD have repped
that as a good thing. YOU did not.

Now I'm gonna party on being more pro-Latino than you are,
because I am

>The point remains Melo has used being Latino for marketing and
>branding purposes. Just like Cruz.

Cruz does Salsa Dances. Carmelo goes to the Hall of Fame. That
you're equating the two is mad disrespectful to your culture.
One is an iconic Latino athlete. The other is not.

>Nothing wrong with that.
>
>And I fucks with both heavily because they're both good and

Yeah, RIIIIGHT. First time you said ANYTHING good about Carmelo
was AFTER I shamed you.

I also said his game has not improved much over the years.

Both true.

>>high anymore cuz he's Latino.
>
>I SAID Carmelo doesn't have great GENES, which is

Lmao that is offensive Mr. Friend of Latinos.

Nigga you said Melo is a worst athlete than John Stockton & Chrs Mullin. GTFOH.

You should be ashamed of yourself you dumbass muthafucka. Lmao!

If Carmelo could never jump, you might have had a point. But he could, and got fat.

Get it?

Carmelo can't run and jump high anymore. Not because he eats platanos. But because he ate TOO MANY platanos.

Get it?

Nah you said Cruz wasn't Latino and doing it to get money. Lmao.

Don't backtrack. And I said the same could be said for Melo.

It has nothing to do with one being better in their respective sport than the other.

Like seriously?

>Lmao that is offensive Mr. Friend of Latinos.

No, I'm saying that he's CEREBRAL and HARD WORKING, which is
TRUE.

YOU are saying that he's a lazy nigger who eats spanish
food all day.

YOU are the one saying offensive shit. Not me.

>Nigga you said Melo is a worst athlete than John Stockton &
>Chrs Mullin. GTFOH.

Uh, Stockton was a better athlete among point guards than
Carmelo has ever been among small forwards.

Same with Mullin, whose hands and feet were at least as
quick as Carmelo's.

Carmelo is all mental, timing, precision, and form. That's
his entire game. Always has been.


>If Carmelo could never jump, you might have had a point. But
>he could, and got fat.

Bwahahah. Like that McDonald's All American game that someone
posted where this nigga was STRUGGLING to do basic windmills
at 6'8??!?!?

He's *never* had tons of great hops. He's a QUICK leaper,
and STILL is, which is how he gets his jumper off. But he's
never, ever ever ever had a great hops. Ever.

Nigga go sit all the way the fuck down with this fake ass pandering post.

Through intellect, footwork and study of the game,
Carmelo Anthony, the #1 or #2 Latino basketball player of all
time (depending on where you place Oscar Schmidt, who was a
FIBA great but probably a middling borderline All-Star in in
the NBA) came out of the slums of Brooklyn and Baltimore to
captain Team USA (and become it's most decorated player ever),
win a national championship, a scoring title and get to the Hall
of Fame.

If you're NOT OPENLY rooting for Carmelo this season, I'm
gonna embarrass you. That simple. You better be OPENLY on
board with the agenda. OPENLY.

A-Rod definitely had the edge on HR's 669 to 521 but Williams missed 3 years in his prime to kill nazis. Williams career BA is 45 points higher than A-rod's, his OBP, OPS, and SLG are higher than A-Rod. Not to mention he won one. triple crown awards. Then left to fight in the war. Came back and won another one. Plus he wasnt a lying piece of shit. But I would also put Munoz and Gonzalez over both of them. Maybe even De la Hoya.

How about Ted Williams lying about his Mexican momma?

Black and Blactino players getting death threats treated
like second class citizens, Teddy just playing ball like any

nah, Ted used the platform of his HOF speech to advocate for Negro League players to be inducted into Cooperstown - in *1966*

plus he hated the Boston sportswriters and had a contentious relationship with Boston fans and media throughout his career - that was his inner latino expressing itself.

According to this article, more than half of U.S. Latinos identify as racially White:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Hispanic_and_Latino_Americans

Also, there were pockets of America, even in the South, where darker-hued Latinos were thought of as white, but they faced race-based discrimination. (this is on a message board, but it seemed credible.)

http://www.city-data.com/forum/history/754696-how-were-hispanics-treated-during-civil.html
