Elson becomes the sixth Dutchman to wear an NBA uniform, after Henk Beenders, former ABA and NBA rebounding champ Sven Nater, Geert Hammink, Rik Smits, and current Milwaukee Bucks center Dan Gadzuric. Elson was an original Nuggets draftee in 1999, and joins a young and improved Nuggets team, with power forward Nene Hilario, signees PG's Andre Miller and Earl Boykins, and #3 overall draft pick Carmelo Anthony, who led the Syracuse Orangemen to this year's national championship. </div> Was a good find by me hey? :mrgreen:
Wow! this is cool, I know he's been waiting for this for some time! Let's hope he will get some minutes in Denver! I didn?t know Hank Beenders by the way, so I did some research. He played from 1946 till 1949 for the Providence Steam Rollers, Philadelphia Warriors and the Boston Celtics. He was the first international player in NBA history who reached the NBA Finals in 1947-1948. http://www.nba.com/finals2002/international_news_020531.html Did u know? Me neither
