Matt Bonner was denied Canadian citizenship over the summer but apparently the process is ongoing.

Re: NBA players who naturalize
I became a citizen in 2008. That test is easy! You don't even need to know American history, you need to be able to read and memorize the 100 question booklet (which isn't really 100 questions only about 25 questions asked 4 different ways).
If I'm not mistaken Adonal Foyle was naturalized.

From what I remember, the "express" way to getting citizenship for him was denied so he couldn't play at the World Championships or whatever it was though he's going to be getting it at a "regular" pace so to say. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.
And wow, didn't realize Kirilenko was "only" 30. It just hit me now.
