Name your Internation All Time Dream Team

We all know the team assembled in 1992 a.k.a Dream Team was the best team ever assembled. Now I need your help assembling the best International All Time Dream Team, meaning the best foreign players (in their prime) and put them on a team.

Starting 5:

C
PF
SF
SG
PG

Bench:



Thank you.

All I know Dirk Nowitzi is one of the best international player if he keeps up this pace, Yao Ming might be up there too if he keeps improving. I don't know of any C who was/is better than him other than Sabonis.

Rik Smits?

C - Arvydas Sabonis
PF - Dirk Nowitzki
SF - Peja Stojakovic
SG - Manu Ginobili
PG - Steve Nash

Yao Ming
Pau Gasol
Toni Kukoc
Andrei Kirilenko
Tony Parker
Vlade Divac
Dikembe Mutombo

Drazen Petrovic - respect!
Rik Smits

That's all i could think of for now, based on who played in the NBA.

Olajuwon beats Sabonis any day
What about Ewing from Jamaica?

Olajuwon and Ewing got naturalized and played for the US. Same with Duncan. I'm not sure with Mutombo though that's why he's on my list.

I heard Petrovic was supposed to be really good...or maybe it was just Tony who said that...

and you forgot Ilgauskus as well

Petrovic? The one who past away during a car crash in 92 or before?

Andrew Gaze

I heard Petrovic was supposed to be really good

Yep, the closest player I could compare him to is Manu Ginobili but Petrovic is more of a shooter than Manu but Manu could jump higher!
When Petrovic is hot, he can scorch it!

Yah, the one who played for the Nets.

Ilgauskus

pffft..bah!

Andrew Gaze

Oh yeah! Aussies are going to be angry if he's forgotten!

Just saw Gaze's career stats in the paper.. quite impressive due to his time in the NBL...

30 ppg, 5 rpg, 6 apg and 1.something spg... its ok if u asked me...

so isn't he worthy of a starting spot? or at least somewhere higher than the IR???

He is worthy! Spent some time in the IR then moved to the bench. Played quality minutes off the bench but by the time his game was peaking in the NBA, he died.

lol, I was talking about the lineup you posted not his NBA career...after all I heard he was going to be the Euro MJ or something like that

it's all about Petrovic

Nay, it's all about Sean Marks and Pero Cameron ... underrated...

don't forget about Phil Jones, the real star of the Tall Blacks

Do you mean all competitions or just Olympics? I'll do Olympics...

C: Arvydas Sabonis (Lithuania)
PF: Dejan Bodiroga (Serbia & Montenegro)
SF: Oscar Schmidt (Brazil)
SG: Andrew Gaze (Australia)
PG: Sarunas Jasikevicius (Lithuania)

That's just my list anyways.

Bodiroga is strictly a SF/SG.

I consider Ewing American since he played for the Dream Team.
Also Petrovic only was a bench player in the beginning of his career, he definately was a starter in the last couple seasons.

So he is, awell, replace him with someone better.

can't believe ya'll forgot DETLEF SCHREMPF!!!!!!!!!!!

what about Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf....he was pretty good, pretty sure he aint American

add Darko to that list in 5 yrs

He was American, changed his name for religious reasons from what I can remember.

Chris Jackson --> Mahmoud Adbul-Rauf
he became an islam, that's when he changed names.
Same with Olivier St. Jean --> Tariq Adbul Wahad

Casious Clay ( probably not spelled this way ) ---> Mohammed Ali

I find something troubling about putting a dead guy on IR...

How'd we go from basketball players to boxers?

Lew Alcindor to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
