    And no, Manu doesn't qualify since he's from Argentina.

    Kukoc has to be in there.

    Put him instead of either Drazen at SG or Gasol.

    Lol just goes to show you playing for the bulls and being hyped up by jerry Krause will overrate you. No disrespect to kukoc BTW...

    Drazen is uber underrated. He was tough, a dead shooter, and a court rat. He was all NBA 3rd team in 1993 without making the all star team.

    Talent wise, Kukoc, Drazen and Kreso Cosic are on the same level, but Drazen was the first real professional basketball player in Croatia, or former Yugoslavia, and had tremendous work ethics and habits - which made him number one European player from 1985 to his death - ahead of Sabonis, Galis, Kukoc, Marculionis, Martin, Radja, Divac...

    As much as I like Kukoc, he does not have case over Nowitzki - and that is the position he was playing, and no other PG from Europe comes close to Drazen in this consideration.

    Kukoc was winning everything in Europe like Anthony Parker before he went to play against real pros.

    If Drazen was American, just another good player.

    Only Nowitki can hold the great players jockstrap
