Larry Bird is one of the best basketball players ever. He's also a white guy. Looking back at Birds career, I noticed there is a lack of melanin-challenged stars in basketball today.

So who are some of the best white guys in today's game? There are plenty of them out there; you just have to look toward the end of the bench. With that in mind, here is an ALL-WHITE ALL-STAR TEAM.

PG: Steve Nash

PHOENIX - FEBRUARY 06:  Steve Nash #13 of the Phoenix Suns brings the ball upcourt during the game against the New Orleans Hornets on February 6, 2008 at US Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona.  The Hornets won in double overtime 132-130.   NOTE TO USER: U

Sure, he doesn't play defense, and the chest hair that sticks out of the top of his jersey is something that hasn't been seen since the days of Vinny DelNegro, but he's awesome on offense.

He dribbles and passes better than anyone, and may have the best jumper of any point guard in the game. And he's white.

SG: Adam Morrison

LOS ANGELES, CA - FEBRUARY 26:  Adam Morrison #6 of the Los Angeles Lakers walks on the court during the NBA game against the Phoenix Suns at Staples Center on February 26, 2009 in Los Angeles, California.  The Lakers defeated the Suns 132-106.  NOTE TO U

You got to love a guy who was a wimpy spot up shooter, and who couldn't even get his own shot in college, still be drafted second overall.

Morrison sucks, but he can shoot, which is the signature of the white basketball player. Plus his mustache and weird crew cut just scream "sexual predator."

SF: Kyle Korver

LOS ANGELES, CA - MAY 04:  Kyle Korver #26 of the Utah Jazz reacts in the fourth quarter against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game One of the Western Conference Semifinals during the 2008 NBA Playoffs at Staples Center on May 4, 2008 in Los Angeles, Californ

Another soft jump shooter, Korver's mop alone is impressive. Any one who can play in the NBA, and still look like he should be in the Broadway adaptation of "Dude Where's My Car?" definitely makes this team.

PF: David Lee

NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 17: David Lee #42 of the New York Knicks drives to the basket on Tim Duncan #21 of the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden February 17, 2009 in New York City. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloa

While Nate Robinson is dressing like a Keebler Elf and jumping over grown men in Halloween costumes, all David Lee is doing is the little things, like rebounding and hustling in order to get the Knicks to that ever impressive 40 win plateau, so the can get swept in the first round by Marbury and the Celtics.

C: Chris Kaman

LOS ANGELES, CA - DECEMBER 18:  Chris Kaman #35 of the Los Angeles Clippers watches a loose ball roll out of bounds in the game with the Toronto Raptors on December 18, 2007 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.  The Raptors won 80-77. NOTE TO USE

Not only is this guy the ugliest, most awkward looking guy in the sport, but he his hair cut is one yellow "Hulkamania" doo-rag away from being the worst hairstyle in the history of sports. He's no Shawn Bradley, but he'll have to do.
