For its 75th anniversary, the National Basketball Association wanted to celebrate the commitment of European NBA fans by launching the “NBA 75 Euro Vote” last March. The goal? Allow fans to elect the best performances of European players, the best jerseys and unforgettable moments in the history of the famous American basketball league.
Starting today, European fans can elect the European All time NBA 1st and 2nd Teams, i.e. the 10 best European players in NBA history. From Tony Parker to Giannis Antetokounmpo via Boris Diaw or Luka Doncic, the list of preselected players (including 6 French present) was chosen by a panel of experts made up of European media, celebrities and influencers.
In previous voting categories, Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls were named as All-Time NBA Dynasty. The Toronto Raptors 1998-1999 jersey won the votes of the All-Time NBA Jersey and the German Dirk Nowitzki who won the NBA title in the 2011 NBA Finals, was elected All-Time European Moment.
Voting will be open until Thursday, April 7 at 12:59 a.m. and the results will be revealed on Friday, April 8. Be aware that the fan vote counts for 50% of the final result, while the panel constitutes the remaining 50%.
Here are the 20 great European players preselected, which one will you choose?
