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

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 :)

Nowitzki is a fantastic player but I can't help to like Pau Gasol more and they can't be compared in style.
Divas is my choice for best European to ever play in the NBA and I am not moving him, this is how Gasol ended up on the 4 :)

Sabonis was not allowed to move to the NBA in his prime, he was already a bit old when he made the jump and, more importantly, plagued by injuries. He couldn't run or jump anymore.
I'd make him the all-time best European center. But not in the NBA.

I would take Dirk over Pau all day every day. He's been the only consistent piece on a Mavericks squad thats made the playoffs like 11 straight times. I respect Pau as a player, but Dirk is a franchise cornerstone, and has a few MVP-quality seasons under his belt. Pau has never been much more than a great second banana and a matchup nightmare.

C- Sabonis
PF- Nowitzki
SF- Kirilenko
SG- Petrovic
PG- Parker

This is the best balanced lineup, able to score, defend and rebound. It's banking on a pre-injury (USSR) Sabonis as well as Kirilenko before his form left him. Putting Pau at C and Peja (as much as I adore him) at SF would be great if they played with three balls on offense and defended chairs.

Ricky Rubio's starting five is :

Parker
Navarro
Petrovic
Pau Gasol
Sabonis

Just heard it from him on Parker's radio show in France.
