OK you can say what ever you want to say, but for sure, nobody has produce better basketball players more than Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) did.
I mean look statistics 8 times European Champions, 5 times World Champions, 2 gold Olympic medals.
Who has the most NON AMERICAN players in NBA well again (Serbia and Montenegro)
Maybe some people doesn't mentioned Aleksandar Djordjevic who had the short spell at Portland Trailblazers, and OK I know that some would say, I couldn't remember him from NBA, but this guy is for sure one of the best European player makers of all times, and maybe better than Steve Nash...that even said coach of Phonics Suns Mike D'Antoni also former Djordjevic coach at Italy.
Some players doesn't deserve to be at this table, but that's my opinion.
You got also best shooter in the world Peja Stojakovic, and nobody even say anything about it. I can say after Dirk Nowitcki he is the best European man in NBA.
