Are the '13 Spurs the Most International Team to Play in the Finals?

[NOVoodoo]

I know they've always had an international core, but it really started to hit home to me how international the rest of their team is this season when we played them in the WCF.

Tim Duncan - Virgin Islands
Tony Parker - France
Manu Ginobili - Argentina
Tiago Splitter - Brazil
Boris Diaw - France
Cory Joseph - Canada
Patty Mills - Australia
Nando de Colo - France
Aron Baynes - Australia

That's 9 of their 15 players. Impressive... it's almost like they're the best Euroleague team, competing over in the NBA.

Patty opened a floodgate. The Barrier Reef falls.

I think a better thread title probably would have been, "Spurs: Best Euroleague Team of All-Time?"

Kawhi Leonard is getting the same experience that Dante Cunningham is getting in Minnesota, except he's actually probably enjoying it and benefiting from it.
