. . . of my favorite team, the Rochester Royals. No relation to Eric Spoelstra, current NBA coach,
Stan Musial did not play basketball, so disqualified.

Although his ethnic background is disputed. Many sources say Musselwhite’s white. He himself says he’s Native American.

Try…just a little bit harder?. These guys deserve some recognition.

Not going to disqualify #5 since John Belushi was born in Chicago, and personally I would consider him a legitimate blues musician. (Let’s not get desperate yet and add Elwood)

And he was white! I did not add Elwood, as Dan Ackroyd is from Canada.

Going to have to replace #7 and #8…Danny Kalb isn’t from Chicago, and pretty sure that Billy Branch isn’t white.
