This is my text:
"There are two types of people in this world:
Those who are honest and those who
steal library books for living"

Gee. I am not honest all the time. Does that mean I will sometimes steal library books? LOL

I am a geek.

Sorry, but that's not true. Apart from Cosic, there's another Croat in NBA Hall of Fame - Dražen Petrovic. That I know for certain, and I'm pretty sure there's a number of other non-Americans in Hall of Fame.

[eolsunder]

ah yep your right, there are 2.

Cosic I think in 1996
Petrovic in 2002

There are a few other non-american basketball players in there, but they weren't NBA players (hall of fame can include international players of renoun)

this is the link to which players were inducted in which years.

So I stand corrected, didn't know about Petrovic. So there are 2 non-american NBA players in the hall of fame now <grin>
