John Hollinger, one of the bloggers of Espn.com, a leading television channel devoted to sports, has created a list of the 30 best international players in the NBA.

Displaying the list we can find some interesting data. The first post is held by Tim Duncan, Virgin Islands-born player (and despite being one of the best players in the world did not begin to give the boot to boot too old) but playing with the U.S. team. However, to treat him like Yanque internationally.

The second list is the German Dirk Nowitzki, who has dropped since last year due to the not-so-good season of Dallas and Tim won the ring last year.

Steve Nash is third. This is another with curious biography. Born in South Africa in Johannesburg, but moved with his parents to Canada as a baby. Is a great friend of McManaman.

Manu Ginobili. At number 4 we have the first Castilian-speaking. In four places we have already found two Spurs, giving an idea of how bright this franchise is considered the best sports franchise in this century (in what we have on him). The fifth place goes to the Chinese center Yao Ming, who is injured and may miss the Olympic Games in its capital (which just to see how everything that is upside down).

In sixth place we found Pau Gasol. They mention their problems with injuries (Pau has missed many games in 3 of the 4 seasons. "If Pau Gasol was better defender, would be ahead of Yao and Manu Ginobili.

The seventh position is for Tony Parker, we all think is French but is actually Belgian, another case type that Steve Nash is not the only one we see in the standings. In the eighth, another Spanish, Jose Calderon, who put on a pedestal in spite of poor efficiency of the Raptors. On the 9th is occupied by Zydrunas Ilgauskas and 10 Luol Deng, the Bulls (Sudan).

All other names are:

11. Hedo Turkoglu (Turkey) (I think it should be higher for the high season you are doing)
12. Andrei Kirilenko (Russia)
13. Andris Biedrins (Latvia)
14. Leandro Barbosa (Brazil)
15. Mehmet Okur (Turkey)
16. Andrew Bogut (Australia)
17. Ben Gordon (England) ( "You have seen an Englishman playing basketball? Is growing up in New York.)
18. Samuel Dalembert (Haiti)
19. Peja Stojakovic (Serbia).
20. Luis Scola (Argentina)
21. Andres Nocioni (Argentina)
22. Al Horford (Dominican Republic)
23. Vareajo Anderson (Brazil)
24. Nene (Brazil) (Move not played much because of injuries and cancer that has managed to overcome)
25. Ronny Turiaf (France)
26. Raja Bell (Virgin Islands) (Other Yankee for what they want)
27. Francisco Garcia (Dominican Republic)
28. Wally Szczerbiak (Spain) (Born in Madrid while his father played with Real Madrid. Report no Spanish when asked about a possible incorporation into the Spanish selection).
29. Rasho Nesterovic (Slovenia)
30. Carlos Delfino (Argentina)

You see, Argentina is the country with more players on the list.
