RE: The Spurs also have a very high percentage of foreign players who actually learned the fundamentals and how to play as a team.
Hmmmm... that escaped my mind.
Manu Ginobilli — Argentina
Tony Parker — France
Boris Diaw - France
Tiago Splitter — Brazil
Marco Belinelli — Italy
Patrick Mills — Australian Aborigine
Good gosh, they’re practically a foreign team !!
Tim Duncan essentially is foreign born (as in, not from an American “Hood”), too. Impossible to prove, but this year’s team may be the greatest of all time. Top flight players who execute a non-playground style of basketball that wears out more athletic yet less-disciplined teams.
Tim Duncan - US Virgin Islands.
