In the 240 minutes of basketball that has already been played in the five games of this Eastern Conference Finals, not one white athlete has played a single second. Even with probably two more games left, I think it's safe to assume that Celtics ginger kid Brian Scalabrine won't be leaving his courtside seat anytime soon. And I don't think the Pistons are rushing to activate their Fabio lookalike Walter Hermann by Friday either.

Unfortunately, I dont have John Hollinger's enthusiasm for researching to actually research if this is the first time such an occurrence has happened in NBA Playoff history, but I would definitely put my money on it. And I guess it shouldn't be so surprising either considering that eight of the thirty NBA teams have entirely African-American starting lineups (that's if you consider Mike Bibby black).
So a black senator from Hawaii is probably going to be our next president, Michael Jackson is now officially white, and the once Bird/McHaled Celtics have not played one Caucasian man in the playoffs. Well, at least Darko's doing his part.
