Stunning stat shows Australia’s growing NBA takeover
Australia’s place as an NBA breeding ground has been confirmed with a record nine Australians suiting up for teams this season.
Canada is the only nation topping Australia on the NBA’s annual list of non-US players in the world’s elite basketball league.
Canada has 11 players on NBA opening-night rosters ahead of Australia and France in equal second place with nine.
Spain is next with seven players followed by Germany’s six and Croatia, Serbia and Turkey with five each.
The NBA has 108 non-US players from a record-tying 42 countries and territories on opening-night rosters for the 2018-19 season.
The NBA regular season opens on Tuesday (Wednesday 11am AEDT) with the Philadelphia 76ers, featuring Australians Ben Simmons and Jonah Bolden, taking on Queenslander Aron Baynes’ Boston Celtics.
The NBA list counts Celtics star Kyrie Irving as Australian, but does not include Sudan-born, Australian-raised Milwaukee Bucks centre Thon Maker as an Aussie.
