Kobe: Dirk is the best foreign player ever, period.

Drazen > Dirk just didn't get his time to shine

Sie verrückt?

I can agree with him here but I'm glad he mentioned dudes like Sabonis and Kukoc. Brought entire new skillsets to their position/size.

i agree with kobe but the way dudes talk about Sabonis i think he may be GOAT foreigner

Nobody really counts Hakeem (or Ewing, Duncan, etc.) because they went to school in America.

I don't see how you can have Manu ahead of Parker though. And honestly I'd have Stojakovic ahead of Petrovic as well.

And I'm assuming Kobe doesn't consider Canadians "international" or he just blatantly forgot about his boy Nash.

Nope at the bolded and I'm a Kings fan. Drazen's career was cut short with his death.

1. Dirk
2. Petrovic
3. Sabonis (#1 easily if wasn't for the injuries)
4. Peja
5. Manu

I understand that, but you don't get extra credit for shyt that you didn't ACTUALLY do. No disrespect, but Petrovic gets the dead man treatment.

Stojakovic's 2004 season was better than any season Petrovic had, he had a longer career obviously, was part of more successful playoff squads, and ended up winning a championship as a contributor.

Reason #1 why Hakeem isn't considered a foreign player
