Let's be honest, it's because he's white. If Brandon Bass or Jae Crowder did it, people would be vilifying them.
It works both ways here. There are two stereo-types at play, one negative for white athletes and one positive. If he were black, he wouldn't be seen as uncoordinated, awkward, and nonathletic. That's only reserved for white players.
And then on the other hand, him being white ALSO plays into the idea that he can't be a dirty player, because dirty players are only black.
