Continent's best

The 2001 Euroscar presented by La Gazzetta dello Sport Europe's oldest sports magazine, was presented to the Sacramento Kings' Predrag Stojakovic.

The award honors the continent's top basketball player. For the year 2001 Peja was the torch bearer.

Memphis' Pau Gasol and Dirk Nowitzki were 3rd and 2nd respectively.

Predicting from the current standpoint however, Dik Nowitzki will get a string of those before his career is over. Keeping that note, Captain Dirk will also be the best European player yet in the NBA when he's done.

Notice I said "from the current standpoint". That's because you never know. Despite so, you can still bet that he'll get better and before long Michael Finley will be playing second fiddle to him.
