    Would've liked to see more Drazen, or a pre-crippled Sabas. Body of work goes to Sabas.

    I know, earth-shattering, right?

    It's a toss up Drazen and Sabonis.

    The best foreign player in NBA history is Dennis Rodman.

    In a few years, Nic Batum may take the title

    Is foreign the same as extra-terrestrial?

    Extra-terrestrial or North Korean. Same difference.

    I always thought he crawled up out of the ocean's murky depths and grew arms and legs

    CLYDE THE GLYDE DREXLER. HE IS NOT A NATIVE AMERICAN, THEREFORE HE IS A FOREIGN BORN PLAYER.

    Based on body of work, it almost has to be Nic at this point - but will certainly be shortly. Clearly Sabonis would have won had he come over and joined with the Drexler teams.

    I don't think Petrovic was as good as Sabas.

    I would say he was arguably better as a player he just didn't get to show it. So for us it is Sabas cus this asks in Blazer history. In NBA history I might say Petrovic. In Basketball in general (international, NBA, everywhere) it is Sabas no doubt.
