[ESPN] The 30 best international players in the NBA (Yao #4)

Stupid ranking! TD has 3 rings, while Dirk has nothing yet!

 

I would definitely rank Duncan and Nash ahead of Dirk.

And I don't know about you guys, but I had no idea Ben Gordon was British.

 

i once made the mistake of saying "chinks are opening in the defense" and promptly got booted from the game chat. of course, i meant chinks as in openings, but i could appreciate the misunderstanding.

its pretty clear from the context of the quoted post that the reference isn't racial.

 

Nice try, Hollinger. Stick to stats.

Tim Duncan IS an American, and a U.S. Citizen:

wat the hell.


Duncan 3 championships, Dirk 0.

Career Numbers:

Duncan 21 pts, 11.9 reb, 3.2 ass, .509 FG%
Dirk 22 pts, 8.6 reb, 2.6 ass, .470 FG%


Dirks CAREER HIGH Assists for a season is 3.4. WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!

 

I know! Although we would have figured it out if we hear one of his interviews, I am sure he carries the british accent.

 

Duncan went to Wake Forest for 4 years, not sure I would call him international.

Gordon, Nash, Duncan, Deng type players should be considered .5 international.

Dirk, AK, Ilgauskas, Okur, Yao, Parker are truly international players.

Basically if you played for your country's olympic/national team BEFORE you were in the NBA. Thats what I think of when I think of Internationals....

 

Uhhh... sorry stat dude, but T-Mac is the best player on the Rockets.

 

The United States Virgin Islands are part of the United States. Tim Duncan is not an international player.

 

I guess the United States Virgin Islands are not part of the US.What a dumbass, does he even know Duncan plays for the US Olympics Team. So, Yao should be 3.

 

Nash is No. 1 for sure
No. 2, Duncan
No. 3, Yao

 

10. BEN GORDON, ENGLAND

They play basketball in England?

 

yao best player in team.....hollinger giving mad props to yao

 

Ben was born in england and was there for three weeks. He is american.
