Top European players ever - according to players at Eurobasket

[Grinder]

A popular basketball website which can't be mentioned here took a poll of 38 players at Eurobasket and asked them to name their top 5 European players of all time. These were the results:



Some of the guys that got votes are hilarious.

I can't say I agree with the order. What's your guys' top 5?

[Eric Cartman]

If you count Petrovic 1st and 2nd place votes (19) that's a ****ing landslide win. Parker shouldn't be in no goddamn top 5

[dr.hee]

1. Dirk Nowitzki
2. Nikos Galis
3. Drazen Petrovic
4. Dejan Bodiroga
5. Pau Gasol

V-Span at 28

[G-train]

Not really dealing with bright guys when you look at those results.

[SyRyanYang]

Divac at #22 is a bit low isn't it?

[Maga_1]

What a joke

[Trollsmasher]

V-Span

[alexd]

1)Petrovic
2)Sabonis
3)Nowitzki
4)Diamantidis
5)Parker/Bodiroga

Its a debate who was better Diamantidis or Galis.Galis in Greece is a mythic figure.Something like Wilt for the NBA.He brought basketball in my country and he was perhaps the best offensive player we ever had.But Diamantidis was much better at everything else.Taller,longer,better leader,better defender so my vote goes to him

[andremiller07]

Klezia above Divac oh lord........

[USABall]

This is a good idea, it's a shame the sample size is quite abysmal.

lol at Galis not being on it

[Euroleague]

Why would they only ask 38 players, out of the hundreds at the tournament?

if you think that every player can do that yeah sure laugh
Galis was a much much better scorer than any other Greek player we had.That doesn t mean he was the best player ever.Mj is considered the best because he can score better than everyone else?NO
Diamantidis had a rare combination for a guard.He could score when needed,he was a superb defender,he was tall,long and above all a leader.A guy you can trust the ball.He put the team above his stats and success
