2018 Annual JazzFanz All-Time NBA Draft

All international / non American would be. I’d lose tho. Wouldn’t expect many votes for that.

Not because we're racist, but because the team wouldn't be very good. The best international player of all time, Dirk Nowitzki, is like the 20th best overall player of all time.

Never thought about racism while posting that. I agree they’d never contend but would make it to next round since Jazz fanz are more educated about basketball players outside of USA than other fanbases in the NBA. But I wouldn’t also enjoy it. My childhood heroes played on ABA and such.
 
Tony Parker.

Tony Parker is another guy that doesnt get enough credit.

I think people have given Tim Duncan more than his share of the credit for the Spurs being so good. Obviously he is great and they dont win those championships without him, but he needed Parker and Ginobili almost as much as they needed him.

For a long stretch there the Spurs just dominated everyone practically, and Parker was a huge part of it. Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Steve Nash, and some other point guards were getting all the attention, but was Parker shredding his opponents too. He had a few years there too where he looked unstoppable. I always thought there was a legit argument he was better than all of them.

You take Tony Parker off the Spurs, and Im not sure how many championships they win. Probably a couple less than they did.
 
Is Olajuwon American? I thought he's African.

Touche. I forgot about that. He was born in Nigeria, and has an American citizenship through naturalization. So I guess we can count him as an international. Still, my point stands. Addi wouldn't be able to draft a competitive team if he restricted himself to non-American players.

For this contest yes but for real life they kick a lot of asses out there.
