World-class performances by Ewing, Dirk, Duncan, and more…
When the Finals ended, it was time to pay homage to Dirk Nowitzki. Crowned as the best European to ever grace the NBA hardwood, Nowitzki put on for his current city and his roots, as bottles were popped in Dallas and Germany. With the inevitable “where does he rank in history” talks that followed, we figured it was time to go into the international vault and dig up some highlights from the 10 best international players ever. The videos aren’t in any sort of official ‘ranking,’ but feel free to chime away in the comments after watching all the tapes. Instead of whole highlight reels, we relive special performance from each player’s career. There’s one mix, but it’s justified. Salute to all the ballers from overseas.—Eldon Khorshidi.
