NBA = No Black Guys Association?

Right now I am watching Game 5 of the Lakers/Jazz series and these are the players that are on the court to start the fourth quarter:

Jazz
F Matt Harpring
F Andrei Kirilenko
C Mehmet Okur
G Deron Williams
G Kyle Korver

Lakers
F Luke Walton
F Vladimir Radmanovic
C Pau Gasol
G Jordan Farmar
G Sasha Vujacic

That's 8 white guys and 2 black guys that look like white guys. I haven't really paid a lot of attention to the NBA this season, except for some random playoff games, but this seems weird. Maybe Jack Morris was right when he predicted during his cameo on the Twins' broadcast that all of the "hip hop thugs" (Morris' words not mine), would go away and the NBA would cycle back to the days white dudes, short shorts and underhand free throws.
