  • macdrid, they said during 2007-08. Gallinari wasn't in yet.

    Got 30 but that's because I do the countries of the world quiz over at Sporcle all the time. Just guessed a bunch of European countries for the majority of it. I knew Foyle - St. Vincent, Mutumbo - Congo, Okur/Turkoglu - Turkey, Gordon - UK, Duncan - Virgin Islands, Yao/Yi - China, Biedrins - Latvia, Vujacic - Slovenia, Parker/Pietrus - France, Gasol/Navarro/Calderon/Rodriguez - Spain, Nash - Canada, Bogut - Australia, Nene/Varejao - Brazil, Ginobili/Nocioni - Argentina.

    Anybody else can help fill in the missing ones?
