    i'm watching the clips-dallas game and one of the fools put up the statement:

    dirk is the best foreign player ever in the NBA.

    the other guy disagreed and said hakeem. then the first guy said, "did he win an MVP? did he?"

    omg, i was going to punch the damn tv screen with that. how do you do NBA games and don't know the basic history?

    20s later, he had to recant his vote. smh

    EDIT: even without an MVP, i guess 2 rings and 2 finals MVP and a top 1-2 center of all time aren't enough.

    sorry for the random rant

    I think he was kidding.. Actually he rescinded his comment once Hakeem was mentioned.

    It probably just slipped his mind. No reason to overreact.

    Lol. That's pretty pathetic that an NBA announcer doesn't know that Hakeem won the MVP in 93-94. Isn't he also the only person to win the MVP and DPOY awards in the same year?

    Better than Barkley saying Manu's the best foreign player ever a couple weeks back. :rolleyes: E.J. then said, "What about Dream?" when Kenny and Chuck responded that he's not really a "foreign" player since he played college ball here. So maybe others follow that thinking process as well.

    Dream is the only player ever to win MVP, DPOY, and Finals MVP in the same year.

    both the commentators considered duncan a foreign player. it's fine that dream slipped his mind.

    but when the guy retorted with, "did he win an MVP? did he?" that's just completely inexcusable.

    Oh yeah. I knew Jordan won a DPOY, but I forgot that he had won an MVP in the 80s as well.

    Such idiocy. Cassell was the best foreign player (from a foreign planet)

    Speaking of Hakeem, Kobe is 33 away from tying him :mad:
    CRAP!
    Whatever, Hakeem's still the better player in my heart

    Kobe came out of high school. You knew he was going to pass up Dream in scoring eventually.

    I started a thread on this before.

    If they mean "Pure" foreign player then Dirk is the best ever.
    Dream as we know didn't move from Nigeria to the NBA but rather moved to school in the States. Dirk moved from pro-ball in Germany straight to the NBA.

    If they just wanted to toss in every foreign player, regardless of if they moved from the foreign country to college in America then yeah Hakeem's the greatest.

    Him and MJ is correct, but he is the only player to ever win MVP, DPOY, & Finals MVP in the same year.

    I guess that makes sense, no wonder Steve Nash never gets mentioned in these foreign player conversations

    I think Heath Ledger was better than Cassanova. Just my opinion.
