Who are the best foreign-born players in Blazer history?

Well, so wait, is the question "who is the best foreign born player in Blazer history," or is the question "who is the best foreign born player to don a Blazers jersey? Because if the requirement is a player who did the best as a blazer, you might be right.

 

Ya, no idea. Could be taken either way.

 

I think Batum will end up being the best foreign player for us.

Sabonis for now though.

It's really only between Sabonis, Drazen and Batum... Look at point totals as Blazers

Sabonis: 5629

Batum: 4726

Petrovic: 663

 

Nobody was as good as Sabas!

 

Prime pre-injury, pre-Blazers Sabonis was one of the greatest basketball players in history. Better than that dis-respecting douche Shaq-a-fool even hoped to be. Pity we couldn't get him over in time to beat the Bulls.

Batum will pass Sabonis as far as his Blazers contributions go, due to longevity and that this team will surpass the Sabas Blazers in post season accomplishments.

For now: Sabas, no question.

 

I really hope so, we have to surpass make a Finals birth in order to beat those old teams accomplishments.

 

Sabonis, and it isn't even a little close.

 

Magloire is on the list, and Mychal Thompson isn't?

 

I didn't see the list but that's nuts.

 

Sabonis, from his time with Portland, is overrated. Completely choked in Game 7 of 2000 WCF. Batum is best ever.

 

I think Sabonis had the best career of the guys mentioned but he was hobbled in Portland and still a force. Notice Detleff Schrempf and Hashim Thabeet are also missing

 

I think some of the arguments revolve around Petrovic becoming an all-star (I think he did, anyway).

 

I would probably go with Sabas but I think Mychal Thompson has to get some consideration.

 

Geez man!, Did you contract a brain rot? Ebola of the medulla?

 

I reckon it would be Nate "Outback Shaq" Jawai.

 

Had Drazen Petrovic played his career longer he would have won this in a landslide. A lot of people forget about just how good Petro was and he wasn't even in his prime. He could have been good like Larry Bird good. The Blazers where first class idiots to let him ever go.

 

Sabas
Petro
Batum
Schrempf
Mills
Pendy (Ayers now?)
Rudy
Sergio
Victor K
His buddy there sergei or whatever
Koponen
Kiki
And
Ha

But best ever has to be mehmet okur

 

The reason drazen was let go was because he asked to go. So you would rather have drazen than drexler?! I think blaming the organization for allowing Drazen to leave shows lack of BBall IQ.

Who really is the fucking idiot?!

 

Exactly. There were no minutes for Drazen. We were winning without him. Letting him go was the right decision,

 

He asked to go because they weren't giving him any time. I never heard that he asked for a starting job.
