Recently, NBA commentator Perkins publicly posted his selection of the league's top 5 international players, and the players on the list are Olajuwon (1st), Nowitzki (2nd), Alphabet Brother (3rd), Nash (4th), parker (5th). However, there is also a controversy over whether Olajuwon is an international player. It should be known that although Olajuwon was born in Nigeria, he has later become a U.S. citizen and also played in the Olympic Games with the U.S. men's basketball dream team, so Olajuwon is now even in this list, and there will inevitably be considerable doubts about this.
And nowitzki, the lone ranger who has just officially retired from the jersey, has won the no. 2 best ranking on the list, if not Olajuwon, then Nowitzki is obviously the greatest international player in the NBA league. Of course, according to Nowitzki's NBA career achievements and stats, he is indeed enough to obtain such an honorary status. After all, Nowitzki has two heavyweight honorary awards, MVP and championship, and his entire NBA career playing for the Lone Ranger is also legendary.
As for the only NBA active player to enter the list, he is expected to surpass Nowitzki's list ranking in the future. After all, in terms of personal honors, at this stage, Alphabet Brother has already won two MVPs and 1 championship, and his heavyweight honors are already completely comparable to Nowitzki, but the NBA career years are still slightly shorter than Nowitzki. If The Alphabet Brother can also compete in the NBA League for 21 years like Nowitzki, I believe that the historical status of the Alphabet Brother can definitely surpass Nowitzki.
Nash and Parker are both legendary point guard stars in the NBA League, with Nash holding two honorary trophies of regular-season MVPs and Parker holding 4 championships and 1 FMVP, both of whom are also exemplary benchmarks for international players in the NBA league. In fact, in addition to the above international players, Ginobili, Yao Ming, Gasol and other people are also not to be ignored, but unfortunately, for various reasons, they ultimately failed to appear on Perkins' top 5 list of international players!
