There's the big three who are from France, Argentina, and where the f*** Duncan's from.
Diaw is also from France, and Splitter is from Brazil.
I don't think any of this is coincidence. Generally, foreign players play better team ball, pass better, don't play sloppy, and don't hog the ball, jack up shots as much, try to play one on five etc. The American players on the team also buy in to Popovich's system and display many of the same qualities.
Main pt: It'snot a coincidence they have so many foreign players. Pop and whoever the GM is passed on Caramello Anthony types.

Hope this helps.
They also play team ball too.
I had one of those free previews of the NBA League Pass a few months ago, and they were showing Nuggets/Kings (yes, I have no life...that's why I'm here...). There was so much fucking dribbling, one on one, and bad shots etc. That's is why I barely watch any NBA basketball until the last 5-10 games of the regular season. Even when the Sonics were around, I'd only watch like 30 games or so, save for '04-'05.

Do they poast here?
They really are going for the 2004 Pistons model only with far more firepower than that team could ever dream of.
Safe to say the Spurs don't have those types. Every player Pop puts out there knows how to play defense, knows how to make the right basketball play, knows how to shoot, knows how to work as a team. Why Miami will have their hands full with them as they typically prey on a team being stupid then go on a run to put the game away(sums up the Pacers series).
Outside of Chalmers, Miami is built the same way with a bunch of guys who know how to make the right basketball play. Lebron, Wade and Bosh all get their numbers but they sacrifice a lot. If anything you could argue Lebron's downfall at times is not being selfish enough.
Should be a fun series for those who like watching team basketball and for those who hate watching one on one nonsense. You'll see some of that one on one with Miami because Wade and Lebron are so talented(same with Parker). However, you won't ever feel like when they are doing that they are hurting their team.
