[QUOTE=Big Rook]Russia is in Europe....ALL OF IT. You are either in or you are out. [B][I]Find me another state/country that is part of two continents[/I][/B].:confusedshrug: Russia has been part of Europe for hundreds of years.....maybe you have been frozen for thousands of years?:sleeping However, they are not an actual member of the EU.
How about Turkey?? :D

8. andres nocioni
9. boris diaw

Well i drew up that list a while ago and I can see al faults in it now... but aside from that, as far as I know Ben Gordon has a British passport..
the other thing i find from this threadis that players seem to have to play in the nba to be considered for this list.
Which shows a total lack of awareness of the euroleague.Bodiroga now retired never played in the NBA,yet he was one of the best european players ever .Currently I would say Smodis,Vujcic,Lakovic,Papaloukas and a few others are better than a lot of europeans in the NBA.
Anyone mentioned Peja Stojakovic, Sasha Pavlovic, Nenad Krstic, Marko Jaric, Vladimir Radmanovic (all from Serbia)...?
Tim Duncan isn't American (Virgin Islands).
Yao Ming (China)...
Luol Deng isn't American (English).
Andrew Bogut (Australia/Croatia).
Andrea Bargnani (Italy).
I forgot many good players who play in Europe like Papaloukas, Diamantidis, Pekovic, Vujcic, Rakocevic, Jasikevicius, Macijauskas...
maybe not the best european player but certainly one of the most exciting (and not mentioned in this thread til now), boki nachbar: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B29TMNP37OY[/url]
also jose calderon is on fire this season. he has the best assist to turnover ratio in the NBA

nachbar is superb but why didn't he play for slovenia in the eurobasket?I still think becirovic,lakovic and smodis are ahead of him as far as slovenian plaers are concerned.
Top 10 of EUROPEANS IMO
1. Nowitzki
2. Gasol
3. Siskauskas
4. Diamantidis
5. Kirienko
6. Turkoglu
7. Parker
8. Fernandez
9. Biedrins
10. Pekovic
8.Vladmir Radmanovic ,Serbia
9.Mickael Peitrious ,France
10.Ronnie Turiaf , France (Boy he can dance :rockon: )
I hope you post to this with your opinion[/QUOTE]
I dont consider Nash European. I consider him Canadien so he wont make my list.
So...
1. Dirk Nowitski
2. Pau Gausol
3. Tony Parker
4. Hedo Turkoglu
5. Mehmet Okur
6. Boris Diaw
7. Andrei Kirilenko
8. Vladamir Radmonavic
9. Marc Gausol
10. Rudy Fernandez

Diaw should be 7th on that list. Gasol should be 2nd behind Nowitzki. Steve Nash is Canadian, not English.
