    I know they've always had an international core, but it really started to hit home to me how international the rest of their team is this season when we played them in the WCF.

    Tim Duncan - Virgin Islands
    Tony Parker - France
    Manu Ginobili - Argentina
    Tiago Splitter - Brazil
    Boris Diaw - France
    Cory Joseph - Canada
    Patty Mills - Australia
    Nando de Colo - France
    Aron Baynes - Australia

    That's 9 of their 15 players. Impressive... it's almost like they're the best Euroleague team, competing over in the NBA.

    I think a better thread title probably would have been, "Spurs: Best Euroleague Team of All-Time?"

    Kawhi Leonard is getting the same experience that Dante Cunningham is getting in Minnesota, except he's actually probably enjoying it and benefiting from it.
