The strongest lineup of NBA international players: Yao Ming is difficult to be on the list, Doncic can only play the sixth man

As we all know, the NBA has always been the most popular basketball league in the world, and it also represents the highest competitive level of basketball. Therefore, not only American players regard the NBA as their dream place, but also many players from other countries also yearn for the NBA very much. Because of this, since the founding of the NBA, many outstanding international players have emerged in the league. In addition to our own Yao Ming, there are also people like Peja who have very outstanding strength. So having said that, we will take a look at the strongest international lineup in NBA history. This lineup includes a complete set of starters and a sixth man. Let’s take a look at which players are included in it!

Point Guard: Nash (Canada)

Average of 14.3 points, 3 rebounds, 8.5 assists in his career

In Nash's era, American players were obviously much stronger in the NBA, so there were not many international players in the league who could really enter the top ranks at that time. But Nash is different. At his peak, he was not only one of the best defenders in the league, but also won the regular season MVP for two consecutive years. You should know that at that time, he defeated superstars like Kobe and James, so the awards he won were very valuable.

Under the leadership of Nash, the Suns played a unique offensive rhythm. Their game pace was very fast, and this concept was also very advanced. Most of the current NBA teams focus on pursuing fast pace. Under such circumstances, the Suns became the top team in the league, and Nash was able to win so many personal honors. Unfortunately, due to various factors, Nash has never won the championship in the NBA, and he has not even reached the Finals, which is the most regrettable thing in his NBA career.

Scoreback: Alexander (Canada)

Average of 24.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.4 steals in his career

There are many good choices in shooting guards. For example, Ginobili, who once helped the Spurs win 4 championships, must have the ability to start in a strong NBA team at his peak, and he once led Argentina to win the Olympic gold medal is enough to prove his ability to lead the team. But in the end we chose Alexander, a new star in the NBA, who has experienced obvious evolution in recent years. This season, he averaged 30+ per game for the third consecutive year, and eventually won the MVP and scoring leader. At present, he is undoubtedly the top three star in the league.

Among the scoring players in the league, Alexander is one of the most stable players. It is easy for him to score 30+ in any game, which has a lot to do with his comprehensive scoring methods. In addition to the top mid-range and breakthrough, his three-pointers and fouls cannot be ignored by the opponent. In addition, if he partnered with Nash in the backcourt, Alexander could not only make up for the former's lack of offense ability, but also give Nash some help on the defensive end.

Small Forward: Antetokounmpo (Greece)

Average of 23.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.2 blocks, when Antetokounmpo debuted in the NBA, he averaged only 6.8 points per game in his rookie season. At that time, no one could have thought that he could become one of the strongest players in the NBA in the future. Antetokounmpo at his peak had two MVPs, leading the Bucks to win the championship and were elected as FMVP. On the defensive end, he not only was selected for the best defensive team for 4 times, but he also won DPOY, so he was undoubtedly comprehensive enough on both ends of the offense and defense.

Antesco has undoubtedly been good at attacking the frame in the game. His ability in this area is at the historical level. With this advantage, he has been able to average 30+ per game for three consecutive seasons. At the same time, using his own breakthrough, Antesco can also lead his teammates, so he also scored a super large triple-double with 35 points, 17 rebounds and 20 assists in the regular season. When playing in the small forward position, Antetokounmpo can also give full play to his advantages on the defensive end. He is enough to provide reliable and stable help to his teammates.

Power Forward: Nowitzki averaged 20.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists in his career. As one of the best shooting power forwards in NBA history, Nowitzki is the most suitable starting lineup in this list. At his peak, he was also very good at three-pointers, and his shooting percentage was above 38% in many seasons in his career. In addition, Nowitzki's best advantage is his independent attack. His mid-range is his best weapon. With this move, he was able to beat all his opponents in the 2011 playoffs. At the critical moment, he was almost unsolvable.

Although Nowitzki is slow on the defensive end, on the one hand, Antetokounmpo can assist him in defense, and after all, his size is there. As long as he stands on the court, he will not be frequently pulled to the top of the arc, he can fill the penalty area and reduce the opponent's attack frequency. Therefore, in general, his forward combination with Antetokounmpo can even have the effect of 1+1 greater than 2.

Center: Jokic averaged 21.8 points, 10.9 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.3 steals in his career. Although Alexander won the MVP this year, in the minds of most fans, Jokic is still the real number one player in the league. In the past five years, he has won three MVPs and one FMVP. This season, he has also scored a triple-double average of 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game. If the Nuggets had not been too poor in lineup and had a record lag too much behind the Thunder, then it would not have been possible for anyone to be the MVP in the end.

Jokic's offensive performance on the court is obviously unnecessary. As the most comprehensive center in NBA history, he can play his role in any system.. On the defensive end, Jokic is obviously not an excellent player, but he is not as unbearable as many people say. Jokic is not slow to defend with all his strength. His delays, accurate cutting and defensive awareness can all provide a positive effect. The only thing is that his ability to switch defense is not good, but there is not only such a defensive strategy on the basketball court. Considering his other abilities, it is acceptable even if he has shortcomings.

The sixth man: Doncic averaged 28.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.2 steals in his career. In theory, his strength is worthy of starting. He has proved himself many times in the NBA and international arena. However, from the perspective of honor or compatibility, Doncic is difficult to replace Nash or Alexander. Even if he only looks at personal attacks, he may be the strongest among these three.
