[Renkz]

"Someone that you want your daughter to date"
"Class Act"
"Family Man"
"Hustle with the best of the them"
"A man's man"
"No excuses"
"Big heart"
"Walks old ladies across the street"
"Boy Scout"

 

[luckyse7enz]

"Cerebral."

 

[jmspro]

"He is a gunslinger", after a few ints are thrown.

 

[dennis roadman]

really reminds me of bird/havlicek/reddikk at duke/adam morrison at gonzaga/last white player to break out in march

i don't think a commentator has ever compared a white player to a black player or vice versa

 

[mrken12]

"Someone that you want your daughter to date"

Someone to introduce to your daughter

I've never heard that one.

 

[Earnings]

"comes ready to play"

"always has his head high"

"EVERY move is calculated"

"He's just SOOO valuable in terms of the things that go unmeasured"

 

[Oroko Saki]

at most of these applying to Grant Hill and Shane Battier

 

[NYC Rebel]

Basically "No athleticism, but a tough player who happens to make plays" or "Hard worker"

But this dude:

This made me feel old. I saw that hit on Monday Night football

 

[Renkz]

I've never heard that one.

I can't say it apply to just white players, but it is something a broadcaster would say about a player's character. Can't remember when it was used.

Mike Mayock JUST NOW about Notre Dame White RB Cam McDaniel:

"I think McDaniel is making the case to Brian Kelly that look....i know these other guys May have more impressive speed than I do, but I understand how to run."

 

[K-Deini]

such an honor to see this guy play

 

[unit321]

"His eyes are so beautiful".
























Okay. I made that up but you get the jist.

....that white boy could catch a porcupine dropped from a 5th story building, bare handed, and not get a cut. Good call. Duke was NICE.

 

[TheNig]

Why aren't the black superstar athletes any of these things? He's either "extremely talented", "has all the gifts", and "a diva".

And they usually say this with such disgust.

I saw that shyt live on Monday Night football. I knew he was nice, but Largent showed he was a football player on that play
