Obviously, we know of Tony Parker (France) and Manu Ginobili (Argentina)... arguably the best players of their respective countries.

But along the way, we've had Oberto (Argentina), Patty Mills (Australia), Aaron Baynes (Australia), Marco (Italy), Boris Diaw (France), and Tiago Splitter (Brazil).

In recent memory we've had Poetl (Austria) and Bertas (Latvia)

And just when you thought it was over... we hit on Jeremy Sochan (Poland) and tomorrow, they are posed to take Victor Wembanyama (France) with the first pick. Of all the years that the Spurs could have lucked into the #1 pick, it's this year for one of the most hyped prospect since Lebron and he happens to be an international player. You couldn't have written this any better.

I'll end with one simple word: Believe.

Nikola Milutinov (Serbia) - Multiple sauces confirm that he's only a year or two away from joining the Spurs and contributing right away.

There was another Canadian you should have listed first in Cory Joseph. Shame on you.

I remember when we drafted Goran Dragic only to trade him for Malik Hairston.

Bruce Bowen played in France. He was Tony Parker's favorite player.
