He was born in Nigeria and he's black, so I don't think he quite qualifies for the Hispanic American team. But I realize I left alot of players off yesterday. You have Jose Barea, Manu, Francisco Garcia. Damn, the all time hispanic team might be able to win about 12 games!

No, sorry man. His family moved to Niagra Falls from Mexico City NOT Nigeria! And there are black Mexcans!
 
Getting a good role player in the 20's is considered a steal?
In today's NBA, I say yes. there aren't too many players picked in the high 20's in the past 10 years that have accomplished what he has. And he's only 22. Best acquisition we've made in years. The lottery picks are easy compared to landing talent that late first round.
 
Huh? Wiki states Hakeem was born in Nigeria.

Olajuwon was born to Salim and Abike Olajuwon, middle-class Yoruba owners of a cement business in Lagos, Nigeria.[5][6] "Olajuwon" translates to "always being on top" in Yoruba.[5] He was the third of six children. He credits his parents with instilling virtues of hard work and discipline into him and his siblings; "They taught us to be honest, work hard, respect our elders, believe in ourselves".[5] Olajuwon has expressed displeasure at his childhood in Nigeria being characterized as backwards. "Lagos is a very cosmopolitan city...There are many ethnic groups. I grew up in an environment at schools where there were all different types of people."[7]

During his youth, Olajuwon was a soccer goalkeeper, which helped give him the footwork and agility to balance his size and strength in basketball, and also contributed to his shot-blocking ability.[8] Olajuwon did not play basketball until the age of 15, when he entered a local tournament.[5] However, he quickly became taken with the game: "Basketball is something that is so unique. That immediately I pick up the game and, you know, realize that this is the sport for me. All the other sports just become secondary."[9]
