Are the current TOP30 best international players a better group of the players than NBA's TOP30 all-time best retired foreign players?
Because NBA foreign players are traditionally much more often frontcourt players than guards I didn't present TOP30 as TOP6 teams but as TOP5 teams (where one guard spot is guard-forward) and instead 6th team 5 backup centers. As you see Canadians are counted as foreign players, and notable veterans Horford, Gallinari, Rubio, and Dragic who are far away from their peak years are moved to the all-time group, while for some young players which coming this season after a long pause (B.Simmons, J.Murray) be free to grade them based on pre-2022 games. The reason why I have not just listed TOP30 for both groups is that it matters who is 1st team, 2nd... (of course, 1st team counts the most, then 2nd... etc...).
Please, don't discuss too much about the presented choice or ranking unless you think some mistakes are really big.
So, which group of international players is stronger, retired or active (based on the quality of their play, not on career achievements, which of course favors retired players)?
