Previously, the NBA Uk officially announced the best team of European players, and the 5-man roster was: Nowitzki, Gasol Grande, Parker, Alphabet Brother and Doncic.

The NBA Uk officially announced the NBA's all-time Best European Players Lineup, and its selection vote began in November 2021, with half of the votes cast by European fans, and a panel of more than 40 European media, commentators, and celebrities from basketball, which also accounted for half of the votes.
Compared to the best team, which has two active players, Alphabet Brother and Doncic, the best second team has only one active star, Jokic. In fact, Jokic's honor is better than Doncic's, but Jokic's popularity is different from Doncic's, which is the reason why he did not qualify for a team.
In addition, the remaining four players selected for the best second team are all retired celebrities, namely Kukoc, Peja, Sabonis Sr. and Petrović. However, there are still a number of European stars in the active cast, who are actually eligible for selection, such as Gobert, Sabonis Jr., etc., but in the end they are not favored by the vote.
