Answer 2

deffinatly Andrie Kirilenko

Answer 3

The same as u

Answer 4

international team: Greece

international player: Yao or Kirilenko

Best NBA defender: Marcus Camby

Answer 5

duncan isn't' international, yao doesn't play d, outside of having to shoot over him, Kirilenko plays defense. thats about it for current international players.  

Answer 6

Duncan. Sure, Kirilenko is a beast blocker and has had a couple 5 by 5's, and heck Yao is 7'6 so that's a plus for him. But overall I think Duncan is the best defender out of them all. The spurs defense is the reason behind the championship recently, and by letting Duncan defend down low it let's his guards spread the floor to defend.

Answer 7

Duncan isn't an international player!

The Virgin Islands is a US territory.  They get to vote in the US election!  And their people are born US citizens!

Just because it's not in the 50 states, doesn't mean it's not American.  Heck, why is the Virgin Islands's full name "United States Virgin Islands" ????

To answer your question, it's Dikembe Mutombo in his prime.  The best international defender of all time is Hakeem Olajuwon, maybe the best international player of all time.

Answer 8

yao, and duncan
