    Really, is this question a Joke?

    Dirk is by far the best. he going to wind up with 10K rebounds and 30K points, hes ranks 14th all time in FT%, he been all-nba for 10 consecutive years, 9 straight allstar appearances, top 10 in MVP 9 times, top 3 3 times.

    I think many posters believe that since a player is retired, that it somehow elevates them up to a higher level. It doesn't. Those players were good, but not the best.. We are seeing some of the best European players of all time now, not 10-20 years ago....

    Kukoc had some impressive numbers if you go by per minute stats. He also played some of his prime in Europe

    I wont argue which player was more skilled; however Petrovic only had two seasons in the NBA. and if he had played a full career who knows.

    But the fact is his career was cut short and Dirk has been one of the top players in the NBA for the past decade is more deserving of discussing where he ranks all time as opposed to just euro players (or apparently south American too)

    Sabonis. and he was past his prime when he made it to NBA. i think if you look at his international play he wins this hands down.

    People that are saying Petrovic and Kukoc or Detlis

    are you guys retarded? Petrovic didn't have an nba career buddy, Kukoc rode the greatest player of all time to his success, and Det is not even top 20 europeans to play the game.

    Even if Manu was from Europe he wouldn't even be close to in teh discussion. The guy has come off the bench for his entire career you fools. You think Ginobli won those rings? He's played with the greatest PF of all time.

    Imbeciles

    Dirk is clearly the best European player to ever play the game and its not even close. Gasol does not even come close.

    well said. this is one of my biggest pet peeves-- people continuing to live in the past. Look, Karl Malone was great but there is no way that he's better than a guy like Tim Duncan. Larry Bird was phenomenal but he's not on the same level as Bryant when you just look at their overall games and what they've accomplished.

    Carmello is good but he is not the player Pippen was. He has much greater talent but does not have the same drive to win and be a champion.

    The topic is the greatest Euro player ever to play in the nba. Petrovic was a fantastic shooter, but he did not have the overall package.

    89-90 POR 7.6
    90-91 POR 4.4
    90-91 NJN 12.6
    90-91 -- 10.2
    91-92 NJN 20.6
    92-93 NJN 22.3

    Here are Petrovic's ppg when he was in the league before the accident occured. He was not a very good passer or rebounder or that good on teh dfensive end either. He was strictly a knock down shooter off screens.

    For all intensive purposes Manu is a Euro player. He should be included in this conversation.
