to be European is being from the continent of Europe, that would be like saying when the British owned India the Indians were Europeans, or when England owned America, then Americans were called Europeans/British, just because the home country is European doesn't mean the country outside the territory is European as well.

It's not like Puerto Rico or India. Guadaloupe sends voting representatives to the French parliament. They are as much a part of France as Marseille is. He is French.

but the catagory is about being french or not being french, its about being European, and to be European you have to be from the continent of Europe.

from wiki:

As part of France, Guadeloupe is part of the European Union; hence, as for most EU countries, its currency is the euro.

but whatever... michael pietrus isnt worth arguing over... lets move on rather than slowing this down. pietrus can stay as "international" but he gets an * next to his name and when he comes on the court he must pass the ball 10 times before shooting in honor of fellow frenchman boris diaw.

Oversized: Shaun Livingston to play both PG/SG positions.

Russell Westbrook/Roy/Ariza/Randolph/Gasol
Blake/Brewer/Prince/Jerebko/Varejao
Livingston-Howard-Cole Aldrich

Championship :)

Just to tell you that you can't play Livingston at SG since you have to suck the mismatched size of the player and Livi is NOT oversized at SG.

Also thanks again Fats.

Was going to take Livingston but I waited too long, over/undersized is the hardest cat to fill imo, so I'll take Hasheem Thabeet, but I'm not happy about it.
