Yay ! Let's play, my own subjective list with a couple of youngsters for the future and trying to mix eras and nationalities !

C - Divac
PF - Pau Gasol
SF - Stojakovic
SG - Petrovic
PG - Parker

Bench :
C - Sabonis
PF - Nowitzki
SF - Kirilenko
SG - Marciulionis
PG - José Calderon

Ricky Rubio - point guard
Nicolas Batum - swingman
Boris Diaw - everywhere :)

No but seriously, Wilkins can't be treated as European just because he happens to be born in Europe, he is purebred American.

Ibaka is naturalized Spanish and it's just a "sports nationality", his inclusion here is questionable.

Same for a few others...

I agree with you on both Jose and Ricky.
I went for Jose myself because I could not find any other true point guard and I didn't want to select a scorer. Jose is class but he is not at the level of the other ones.
Ricky is way too young to be included higher in this kind of list, actually he shouldn't even be named, he is a kid. I don't want to curse him :)

Ricky has a LONG way to go in the NBA. But even now, you see flashes of what this kid has that just amaze you. Hes still adjusting o the NBA, but kids his age arent supposed to have the creativity and vision.

Right now, Jose. In three years, it wont even be a question lol.

Absolutely! Ridiculous to include them, just as ridiculous as including non-NBA players in a thread about best NBA Euros!

Now... on Pau Gasol. Regardless of opinions about what position you *think* he should play, he has played his best NBA basketball as a center, and has in fact struggled when put into the 4.
I used to think he was a natural PF, but have since had the fallacies in my thoughts pointed out to me. I have recanted my position... Pau's better at the anchor.

Except... the answer to that question is "Tony Parker"!!!

Oh. And clearly the best European center EVER is Sabonis.

Dont get me wrong I think Parker's better than both. Or at least he was in his prime. I was just comparing Calderon and Rubio :)
