The Best Bi-Racial Athletes of All Time

During a recent boring evening watching a Knicks game at a near empty bar, a few of us got to discussing Landry Fields (his possible over-ratedness will no doubt be an eventual post) which of course led to a discussion of bi-racial athletes. As a mutt myself, this is an important issue for me. The question is: Who are the best half-breeds in the history of the 3 major sports? (I supposed there might have been a hockey player who was Russian and Lithuanian or something but who knows or cares?).

Basketball
Jason Kidd


The best bi-racial basketball player of all time, his toughest potential competition would be Blake Griffin but it's too soon to tell if he'll ever reach the heights of his mulatto brother. Carmelo Anthony is also bi-racial (half Puerto Rican) but that barely counts. Honorable mention goes to Rick Fox, Shane Battier and Henry Bibby. Most pussy whipped bi-racial athlete is, of course, Doug Christie and gayest bi-racial athlete (by a landslide) is John Amaechi.

Football
Hines Ward



The half black, half Korean, 2 time super bowl champ Ward gets the nod but he is followed closely by Johnnie Morton and the Viking's Robert Smith. Almost every other decent player in the NFL is either fully black, white or Samoan. Go figure.

Baseball
Derek Jeter


This selection should come as no surprise. Not only the best bi-racial baseball player but maybe the greatest half-black athlete of any kind, Jeter dominates this field. Special honors must be given for the way that he has been able to get some of the hottest trim of any race. Honorable half-breed mentions to David Justice and Johnny Damon. If I missed any others (and I know I did) feel free to let it be known.
