HoopsHype has released an updated list ranking the 50 greatest European basketball players in history. German legend Dirk Nowitzki holds the number one spot, followed by Giannis Antetokounmpo in second place.

Antetokounmpo, often referred to as the ‘Greek Freak’, is noted for his potential to be considered the greatest international talent in NBA history upon retirement. The top five is completed by Nikola Jokic, Pau Gasol, and Tony Parker. Other notable names in the top ten include Luka Doncic, Rudy Gobert, Marc Gasol, Drazen Petrovic, and Peja Stojakovic.

Greek basketball figures are well-represented in the rankings. Beyond Antetokounmpo, Nikos Galis is placed at 45th, and Vassilis Spanoulis rounds out the list at 50th. The list also highlights Dejan Bodiroga at 33rd as the highest-ranked player who did not play in the NBA.
