LOL other than Gasol and Hedo. No other foreign player had an impact in the conference finals and NBA Finals.
Mikael Pietrus had a pretty significant impact in the Magic's postseason games & so did Nene for Denver... & both Gasol & Hedo were probably 1 of the top 2 most important players for their teams, u can't just discount those guys... that's like saying other than Kobe & Dwight there were no other US born superstar players on the court in the Finals.

The report was skewed. The guy brought up Sun Yue when he refered to the Asian player on the Lakers. If you think Sun Yue had an impact on the series then we watched a different series. I added Pietrus to the mix. Yeah Nene should be on that list too. But I can't include Sasha and Yue two guys he included. The same for Gortat. For me, it is only Gasol and Hedo as far as serious impact. To me it is silly point. I'm wouldn't do a story about guys having an impact on the finals who didn't go to college even though they had the biggest impact. What purpose does that serve?
not following u... what report are u talking about? i was only commenting on your earlier statement that only Pau & Hedo made an impact in the Conference Finals & Finals this year
To me I think of Gasol and Hedo has having an impact on the finals this year. If the Spurs were in the mix then it would be Parker and Manu. Dirk for the Mavericks. It was ridiculous IMO to point out that the Celtics didn't have any foreign players and yet won it all. What would it have matter if KG, Pierce and Allen were the impact players.
