Doesn't matter whether they're playing in the NBA or not.

So far I have:

PG - Dragic
SG - ?
SF - ?
PF - ?
C - ?


I have Dirk, Ibaka, and the Gasol brothers but I'm not sure if they're the best PF/C or there's somebody else. :confusedshrug:

PG - Dragic
SG - Ginobili
SF - Deng
PF - Dirk
C - Pekovic

That's off the top of my head, I'm almost positive I'm forgetting guys.

Varsporlius is up there, but once again, we gotta adjust for quality of competition. Euroleague amateurs =/= NBA pros :confusedshrug:

Healthy, in-form TP is obviously the better player, so far this season Dragic has been better.

Ginobili/Bellineli
Batum/Gallinari
Dirk/Ibaka
Roy Hibbert/ Pekovic

Hibbert was born in the US. He became a dual citizen of Jamaica, but he is American.

:wtf: Wait shit is this an all-time list? I thought this was current players, and by not playing in the NBA I thought you meant players outside the US..

Oh my bad. Arvydas Sabonis? I would replace Dragic with Tony Parker also unless we're talking about the this season

Hakeem as a center, he was born in Nigeria.
Nash was born in South Africa.

If we're doing all time:

Nash/Parker
Manu/Petrovic/Blackman
Kukoc/Schrempf/Stojakovic
Dirk/Gasol
Hakeem/Ewing/Mutombo/Ming/Divac

No Giannis?

My boy's gotta prove himself. Deng's been an all-star, been to the conference finals, all that shit. Giannis talent-wise is on a GOAT tier, but he's gotta collect some hardware. A scoring title, ROTY, DPOY, MVP, or FMVP this season would earn him a spot.

What are you smoking which makes you think Pau is in the same stratosphere as Dirk?

He's the back-up. In other words, the 2nd best foreign PF of all time.

I'm sure OP is talking currently, otherwise Sabonis & Peja would be there.

Vartipous Spaghettilouosoius is the best player in the world, so naturally he belongs on everybodys lists

With the DOPY win for Marc I would say he deserves to be ahead of Pau as reserve. TBH Pau won't make the HoF at this rate, 17-0 with out Kobe, leading them to bottom in the west this year.

Except when doing an all-time roster, Marc Gasol is a center unless you put him at PF. Who at center on my list would you replace for Marc Gasol? Either way Pau Gasol still sits in that PF spot.

OP listed Dragic, Ibaka, Gasol brothers so I'm guessing current players.

I'd put Bogut as the C but I'm biased towards Aussies.
