Best Foreign NBA Players Ever

With Dirk Nowitzki leading the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA title it got me to wondering who the greatest foreign NBA player ever is.  I think the top 3 are pretty clear, you could almost put them in any order, I went with Hakeem because I think he was the most dominant of any of them.  Nash with his two MVP awards makes a strong case too.  Now that Dirk has a title, you could also make a case for him.  Anyways, here's my Top 20 Foreign NBA Players Ever
  1. Hakeem Olajuwon - Nigeria 
  2. Steve Nash - Canada 
  3. Dirk Nowitzki - Germany
  4. Patrick Ewing - Jamaca
  5. Dikembe Mutombo - Congo
  6. Vlade Divac - Serbia
  7. Yao Ming - China 
  8. Pau Gasol - Spain
  9. Detlef Schrempf - Germany  
  10. Manu Ginobili - Argentina
  11. Arvydas Sabonis - Russia
  12. Drazen Petrovic - Croatia
  13. Tony Parker - France
  14. Toni Kukoc - Croatia 
  15. Rik Smits - Netherlands 
  16. Zydrunas Ilgauskas - Lithuania
  17. Sarunas Marciulionis - Russia
  18. Andrei Kirilenko - Russia
  19. Peja Stojakovic - Croatia
