Stojko Vrankovic!
This is a difficult question for me, as my criteria of an international player may be different. I view an international player as someone who was born outside the US and also played overseas professionally. I mentioned Kyrie earlier simply because he was born outside the US and seemed to fit you criteria, but in no way would I consider him an international player.Based on my criteria, I would vote for Dino Radja.However, if having no professional international experience is necessary, then I would vote for Al Horford. Although, that would definitely change to Kyrie after this season.
The answer to this question should have easily been Tony Parker. The ghost of Joe Forte strikes again.http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18273391/lamenting-another-super-spur-boston-never-got
Horford and it is not even close.
I voted Dino. IMO, I don't think Horford qualifies as an international player. He's lived here since a little kid and went to HS and college here. Not sure he himself would admit to being an international player. That said, it's Dino and it is not even close. (not trying to be a smart a$$....I apologize if it came of that way)
Horford was born in 1986 in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. His father, Tito Horford, played three years in the NBA and several more overseas. In the summer of 2000, Horford and his family moved to Lansing, Michigan, where he attended Grand Ledge High School in Grand Ledge, Michigan, and was a star on its basketball team.
