I like his line about Nocioni where he's expressing faux surprise about another Bull having dropped further down the list from where they were a year ago.

Actually it isn't. The person entering in Luol's demographics was just so suprised that Deng was from Sudan that he wrote "Wow, Sudan".

Weird, when I click on it Gordon isn't on the list. Samuel Dalembert is #17 for me.

The international game is getting better and better but it's still funny to see that that they don't even have 30 legit good players. They have to make stretches that this player or that player is really from another country when in reality a lot of them would consider themselves American first. Anyway, the international game is evolving and we are starting to get more good players from overseas but they still have a long way to go to catch up to US talent.

The other side of the token though is that the international game isn't necessarily played in the same way as the US game. Take a look at the olympics, we may have the best players every year, but if we're not equipped to play the style of ball that dominates in the international game, we get our tails handed to us. You see the same sort of thing in baseball, football, etc. Where Japan is more of an off-speed league than MLB where MLB the guy with the big fastball can dominate more. Or NFL versus the Arena Football league. Or MLB players and the WBC.
