White Men Can Jump According To The All White Starting Roster for the Minnesota Timberwolves

According to a story in the Minnesota Star Tribune, the starting lineup for the Minnesota Timberwolves, is rather pale. Critics are describing it as an "all white starting line-up."  

SBW thinks those critics should ask the team's Puerto Rican players if they identify as white.

To be frank, the majority of NBA players are black. The Star Tribune reports that only a quarter of all players are non-black. Which means, three-quarters of all NBA players are black, so for the Minnesota Timberwolves to have a starting line-up with nary a black player, makes critics wonder about the motives behind its roster. 

 

The team has fifteen players and five of them are black. Critics of the current starting line up believe it was planned to appease the majority white fan base located in Minnesota.  However, team officials adamantly deny the basis for such an action. To be accurate, only five members of the starting line-up are white Americans. The five remaining team members are Puerto Rican and European.
