British immigrant player

NBA is an all-inclusive basketball stage, representing the highest level of the world basketball league. Not only American players compete here, but also outstanding players from other countries come here to prove themselves. In today's NBA, excellent international players can compete with American players, such as Dansis, Brother Alphabet and Simmons. What are the excellent international players in NBA history? Let's take a look at the pyramid of NBA international players discharged by American sports media.

Pyramid level 4

This level mainly includes the following players: Rolden, Nene, Vucevic, Simmons, Scola, Divac, Bo Gu and other top players. This level of players is between the NBA starting lineup and the All-Star lineup. Their strength can stand in the NBA and become the starting lineup of a team. Some players have been selected for the All-Star Team through their own efforts, but they are not frequent visitors to the All-Star Team. For example, Raul Deng, a British basketball player born in South Sudan, was selected for the All-Star Team twice and the Best Defensive Team twice.

The third layer of the pyramid

This level mainly includes the following players: Embidde the Great, Siakam, Horford, Rudy Gobert, Stojakovic, Jokic, Porzingis, Dansis and Lithuanian center Sarao Borgnis. These players are at least all-star players.

For example, Embiid is a Cameroonian player. He was selected to the All-Star Team three times, the NBA All-Team twice and the All-Defensive Team twice. Al horford, a Dominican basketball player, was selected to the All-Star Team five times. Stojakovic once became the new leader of the Kings after Webber's injury and was selected to the All-Star Team three times. Dancis, who was selected to the All-Star team for the first time this season, averaged 28.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game, no less than James' second season. He is only on the third floor, mainly because he has been in the league for a short time. This year is his second season.

Pyramid layer 2

On this floor are Tony Parker, Ewing, Gasol Brothers, Mutombo, Nash, Ginobili, Alberta and Yao Ming. Players at this level are not only all-star players, but also have a certain position in the league. Future hall of fame players will have great influence in the league at their peak. Among them, Nash and Brother Alphabet won the MVP in the regular season, while Ginobili and Parker are members of the Spurs Troika and won many championships. Pau Gasol helped Kobe win two NBA championships. Pau Gasol was selected into the 1 team and was elected as the best defensive player. He won the championship with Leonard at the end of his career. Mutombo is an eight-time All-Star, two-time rebounding champion, three-time blocked shot champion and four-time best defensive player. Ewing, a Jamaican, immigrated to the United States with his parents when he was a child. He was one of the four centers in the 1990s and led the team to the finals twice. Yao Ming is the first No.1 in NBA without American basketball background, and he was the No.1 center in NBA at his peak.

Pyramid 1 floor

There are only two people on the first floor of the pyramid, one is Nowitzki and the other is Olajuwon. One of the characteristics of these two people is that they are both representatives of single-core champions. 20 1 1, Nowitzki led the Dallas Mavericks to win the championship. He was the only top star in the team at that time. Others, such as Terry, are quasi-All-Stars, but they have never made the All-Star Team. Marion and Kidd are old, and Butler was injured in the playoffs and didn't play.

Olajuwon is a Nigerian and later became an American citizen. He was the No.1 NBA champion in 1984 and won the NBA championship twice. 1994, he led the team to beat the Knicks led by Ewing, and he was the representative of the single champion. At that time, he was the only superstar on the team, and the others were either blue-collar or pitchers. Blue-collar power forward Thorpe scored second in the team. His single-core championship is more valuable than Nowitzki's. At the same time, he is also the most blocked person in NBA history.

In the pyramid of international players in NBA, Yao Ming ranks second, and Nowitzki stands at the top.
