... so many aussies currently playing well in the NBA and one really good one on the horizon!

Begs the question - which foreign nation has the most players currently playing in the NBA?

I would've though canada get this award based on proximity alone but outside that it's a close call for the aussies surely?

do the french or the argies have a shout? i think teh spaniards might have a case too ... does anyone know?

[JohnFreeman]

Aussies have a lot, French maybe?

[Im Still Ballin]

Dat quality batch of aussies

France has 13 active NBA players according to Wikipedia. link


However this link says France has 9.

Once again, France is the most represented country with nine players, and Canada follows with eight. Australia and Spain each have five players on team rosters, with Argentina, Brazil, Italy, Russia, and Turkey each having four. Four countries have their strongest representation ever – Australia (five), Israel (two), Italy (four), and Russia (four), with Macedonia making a first appearance on the list. link

Boges would love it ... jsut pull down boards and peg it long to any of those blokes, they'd beat everyone up the court all day long
