    Steve Nash might be ahead of Gasol at this point. Otherwise I agree.

    During the Rockets/Mavs game, Bill and Calvin said that Moochie Norris was from another planet...does that count? :)

    Even though he has slowed...I would certainly add Vlade Divac to the list. Chances are he will be an allstar this year along with Nowitzki and Stojakovic.

    Other notables(NBA Players only):

    Best Carribean Player: Tim Duncan
    Best African Player: Hakeem(I'm a homer)
    Best Canadian Player: Steve Nash
    Best South American Player: Oscar Torres!
    Best Asian Player: ZhiZhi Wang(in a landslide :rolleyes: )
    Best Mexican Player: Eduardo Najera

    Note that the Mavs could possibly have the best player from Europe, Canada, Mexico and China. Doubt that has ever happened before in the NBA...

    nbaAddict - Are you addicted to the NBA or something else , I thought you should know this stuff.

    Anyways

    Dirk is #1
    Peja is a close 2nd
    Gasol is 3rd I suppose

    All Time Greatest Euro player - Dominique Wilkins!

    I think Peja is better than Dirk, it's just that Peja has C-Webb while Dirk is basically the man in Dallas, other then M Fin.

    Do y'all know Oscar Schmidt? He might be the greatestOlympic Basketball player ever. I think he is from Brazil.


    And remember Petrovic? He was a Yugoslovian, but his career and life was cut tragically in a car acciden in Germany, I think.

    That punk Pejo aint no where close to Dirk. Yeah Peja can shoot and drive. Dirk can do all that and reb and get some block shots. Anyways Dirk can be someone you can build around. I dont think anyone is dumb enough to build around Peja.

    both players are great but Dirk can play at the 3, 4, or 5 and he is a killer matchup problem who can do it all while Peja is a three that can play the 2 sometimes. Thing is they are both real good real smooth players with great shots its just that Dirk is bigger and can do more sorry bout the runon

    Depends on what they're trying to build.
