That explains why he's always in foul trouble. He's just calling the fouls he's supposed to call.

Scola's career in Europe is like Marion's career in NBA : great regular season player but no trophy and not that great during playoffs.
Ginobili's career in Europe is like Wade's career in NBA : short career but he leads his team to a trophy.

Who has been, so far, the most influential player ? Shawn Marion or Dwayne Wade ?

Congrats to Manu
By the way does this include all the World Championships and the Gold Medal that Manu's led his team to?

Wally is doesn't belong to the list:
1. he is not European
2. he is not that great at all

He won't ever be as great as this player: http://www.halloffame.fiba.com/pages...19987/bio.html

Go Manu

Neither is Bob McAdoo. Or Manu Ginobili. Or Anthony Parker. Or Mike D'Antoni.

At least 14% of the list is made up of players who were great while playing for European teams but weren't born in European nations.

Any Euro list without Charles Spider Smith is absolute crap imho.

Well, it's already suspect because of no Billy.

But your astute observation, EHJ, should just cement the fact that this list is completely worthless. And it includes Americans!

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

I think that's for Wally's old man, Walt.

And I'll ask the question on the mind of every Spurs fan: No Billy?

He only have play 1 year of Euroleague he join Rocket when he rookie of year from there.

Congrats to Manu

He have just one world champions 2004 Olympics. NBA le is Amerika and Canada champions not world.

I always thought Anthony Parker IS TP.

[lefty]

I always thought Anthony Parker IS TP.

Anthony Parker is AP.

[bdictjames]

Anthony Parker is AP.

Oh .

I guess no Tony on the list huh.

[bigfundamental21]

Yeah, no Tony Parker and no Dirk Nowitzki either.

[nsrammstein]

so the best European basketball player ever does not make the top 35 list? lmfaoooooooooooooo

[sendman]

so the best European basketball player ever does not make the top 35 list? lmfaoooooooooooooo

This is the list of players with biggest influence on EUROPEAN BASKETBALL.
Tony and Dirk didn't do nothing in Europe, because they came to NBA young, and they never played any EUROLEAGUE bball.

If you don't participate, you can't have a lot of influence. Duuuuuuuhhhhhhh!

[genomefreak13]

Where's Tony parker? Is he qualified to go in this list?

[ploto]

I always thought Anthony Parker IS TP.

Anthony Parker
2 time Euroleague MVP

[genomefreak13]

How could they past up on Tony? is france still part of Europe?

[Pero]

Because he hasn't done in Europe. Don't you guys read all the post? I mean dude, the post right above your first is saying this...
