  I’m impressed that th NBA has so many players form so many different countries.
  However, a large number of them are w*nk.

• J-RO Posted: Oct.27 at 5:50 pm
  what about Sun Yue?
  and isnt Peja Serbian too?

• niQ Posted: Oct.27 at 5:55 pm
  Peja is from Croatia?

• LaurMandu Posted: Oct.27 at 6:42 pm
  Peja is from Serbia. He was born in Croatia from Serbian parents. He has Serbian and Greek nationality.

• Will Posted: Oct.27 at 6:48 pm
  Peja is with Serbia, AFAIK.

• Michael NZ Posted: Oct.27 at 7:19 pm
  Pejas not from Croatia… some kinda typo. BUT, more importantly: SEAN MARKS!

• Tukei Posted: Oct.27 at 7:33 pm
  Peja is from Serbia.
  And what about Utah’s Kostas Koufos from Greece.

• Josh Posted: Oct.27 at 10:14 pm
  Yeah Sean Marks! Seasoned veteren extraordinaire!

• Holy Baller Posted: Oct.27 at 10:29 pm
  HEY PEJA IS NOT FROM…….hahahaha jk. It’s amazing how some of these guys get here from countries in which basketball is pretty obscure….it’s pretty inspiring.

• Tong Po Posted: Oct.28 at 1:52 am
  Sean Marks NZ represent!
  I reckon Randall Tolo could have represented NZ in the league – he was a faster version of patty mills with waaaaayyyy more hops. Dunno what happned to him though.

• titsd Posted: Oct.28 at 2:19 am
  carmelo anthony is half filipino why didnt they mention him!?!

• Cahyo Posted: Oct.28 at 3:18 am
  Isn’t Kobe half Japanese or sumthing?

• alex chuck Posted: Oct.28 at 3:42 am
  LOL carmelo is half puerto rican not filo
  and regardless even if he was he was born in america which makes him an american citizen. the only way you are some other nationality is by having that countries citizenship. and kobe name is from a steak named kobe.

• alex chuck Posted: Oct.28 at 3:44 am
  im australian with chinese heritage.

• micki Posted: Oct.28 at 4:51 am
  Peja is from Serbia!!

• Alan Posted: Oct.28 at 6:08 am
  there’s not a single white player in France or what?? Reminds me of the Eurobasket, where there was not even one player born in continental france… closest one was Parker born in Bruges, Belgium. Nice to see so many countries though.

• Taisen Posted: Oct.28 at 6:24 am
  Alan, apart from Parker who was born in Belgium and grew up in France, every single french player was born in continental France, or French West Indies( it is France also).
  Nando de Colo is white and was drafted this year by the Spurs.
  If you check France’s history, you will understand why France has so many black people and by the way, try to visit this country, you would be surprised…

• Pariuri Sportive Posted: Oct.28 at 6:43 am
  I had no ideea that Steve Nash is from South Africa Republic. I was thinking he is 100% US born player!

• mumadone Posted: Oct.28 at 8:13 am
  villanueva played for the dominican republic this summer

• Clark Posted: Oct.28 at 12:07 pm
  @ J-Ro Sun Yue got cut by the Lakers and Knicks, so he’s not in the NBA anymore. Sorry Chinese Magic Johnson…

• JT Posted: Oct.28 at 2:26 pm
  And what about Chris Kaman, he played for Germany in summer ’08 right?

• Gerard Himself Posted: Oct.28 at 5:18 pm
  The Netherlands represent! Okay, that sounded lame, but there was a time Elson was getting minutes on a Spurs championship team.

• tavoris Posted: Oct.29 at 11:23 am
  is Azubuike still considered an international player, even tho he isn’t allowed to play for Great Britan?

• al Posted: Oct.29 at 12:19 pm
  ben gordon is british, or at least can play for their national team

• Reece Posted: Nov.3 at 2:46 am
  @TongPo, could be a bit of Aussie pride making me biased but I think after seeing Patty blaze CP3 at Beijing he is waaay underrated. Seriously, he could be the next Gilbert Arenas-esque draft steal if Nate McMillan plays him some minutes on the hardwood. Sadly, unless Andre Miller, Jerryd Bayless, Rudy Fernandez, Brandon Roy and Steve Blake all succomb to injury I doubt they’ll play him a minute

  also @titsd, not sure on the actual rules but they wouldn’t put Melo in Philippino, Andrew Bogut was born and raised in Australia but he’s half Croatian however us Aussies pretend that’s not a country xD

• Jacob A. Posted: Nov.25 at 11:19 am
  Koufos has greek heritige, but was born in America. And Kobe lived in Italy while his dad played there.
