    Sabonis, Porzingis, Kirilenko, Stojakovič, Divac.... Boban of course. I think Russia has/had far more better players.

    Nikos Galis, if this includes non-NBA players.

    Also for Estonia I will add Tiit Sokk!

    I think Peja Stojakovic probably had a greater career than Vlade, especially in the NBA. Vlade was more iconic FIBA player, he played in so many and was so important. Peja didn't play in FIBA games as much, but when he did, he probably was more dominant.

    Also Dino Meneghin for Italy, if non-NBA players count.

    The greatest Italian player is clearly Gregor "Mutha" F ucka (without the space)

    Taiwan: Lin (1/2 I think) ?

    As far as China: Yao > Yi > Sun Yue >> Lin

    The others countries are straight forward.

    Tracy McGrady is arguably better, although Marbury did win a championship. Michael Beasley should be an honorary mention.

    BTW, Russia's greatest player is Patrick Beverley.

    Australia: Luc Longley / Andrew Bogut

    Clearly the key to building the greatest regular season teams ever is having an Australian centre :grin:
