oh..you meant best international basketball player?
how bout we just refer to basketball.
No, because remember that one time when he fouled Dirk.
But seriously, I'd say Sabas.
Does Sabas have the same resume? I know to NBA fans that Manu has the goods, although Dirk even moreso in terms of MVP, stats, being the franchise player...etc...
Sabonis
Manu
Dirk
Kukoc
KillBillPana
Dirk obviously has to be in this discussion as better than Manu in terms of basketball skills and talent, as much as it sucks to say.
But Manu brings all the intangibles and leadership that Dirk doesn't possess.
Overall as a player, I'd choose Manu between the two.
Sabonis has my vote, Manu is definitely one of the most accomplished international players in the NBA.
Do you mean the best to play in the NBA or just international basketball in general?
Does anybody think that Oscar Schmidt could have had a stellar career in the NBA?
if we just look at NBA careers...
hakeem then dirk then nash.
manu is in a five-way tie with gasol, yao, tony, and peja.
+1
He was great
He could have if he played for the Nuggets under Westhead or Moe. They just tried to put points up in volume. Schmidt played matador defense.
F@ck yeah this guy was a stud!!!
Beno Udrih
i agree. a healthy manu is a thing of beauty. make him the top dog on a good team and i think he is top 10 player in this league. of course he would have to be healthy and about 5 years younger. lol heres another cool vid. i hate the summer. cant wait for oct.
1. Sabas
2. Manu and Dirk
I don't think you can include Olajuwon. Hakeem was born in Nigeria but became an US citizen. If you do so you have to inlude Duncan as well.
Well, Duncan and Hakeem
Actually if we're talking about NBA careers Manu really hasn't accomplished very much individually like some of the other international players and Tony would be much higher than him with everything that he has done in the NBA. But if you consider their whole career both overseas and in the NBA, Manu's near the top.if we just look at NBA careers...
hakeem then dirk then nash.
manu is in a five-way tie with gasol, yao, tony, and peja.
he is the greatest player to be compared to kobe bryant when he has no business being mentioned in the same breath as kobe by spur fans
Nice choice. He was in his 30's when he got to Portland, remember? Close to Manu's age right now...
If Hakeem and Timmy count then they are 1 and 2 no doubt.
I dunno about Dirk bein ahead of Manu. Dirks good but 1 mvp, means nothing esp since he was the best player on an overrated team. Manu has consistently been a winner no matter the league. Could that be becuz of the GMs he's played for settin up good teams? maybe, but for the most part I don't see too many players let alone international players with the resume like Manu. As far as skillset, make Dirk about 6 inches shorter and he's Kyle Korver. He has a very incomplete game, scores well but does everything else quite mediocre. Manu on the other hand has a polised all-around game. Isn't he one of the top SGs in the league? That's sayin a lot seein how there's soooo many more SGs (than bigmen) in the world that r talented.
I would put 1.Hakeem 2. Manu 3. Dirk. U gotta be #1 when u have a move named after u ("Dream Shake" anyone), D Rob would agree.
I almost forgot, what about Vlade Divac (i might have mispelled it)?
