It’s a question not often posed when discussing today’s NBA: are certain teams too white? The inverse — are teams, or the NBA for that matter, too black — has been raised several times in recent years. In a league where black players have made up at least 75 percent of team rosters since the 1991-92 season — the idea of a team being too white seems somewhat  out of place.

But this week, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported on the overwhelming number of white players on the Minnesota Timberwolves roster.  Reporters Jerry Zgoda and Dennis Brackin call the team’s roster the “whitest since the Boston Celtics teams of the 1980s.”
