Charles Barkley Names The Greatest Foreign NBA Player Ever
Former NBA star Charles Barkley sat down with Shannon Sharpe on the most recent episode of his podcast “Club Shay Shay” and discussed who the best foreign player of all-time in the NBA was.
Barkley didn’t hesitate to say that Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was the best foreign player ever over Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki.
Jokic is definitely backing this up, as he is a two-time NBA MVP (possibly three-time after this season) and an NBA Champion. He also is one of the best playmaking centers the league has ever seen.
“Dirk, up until the Joker, was the greatest foreign player ever,” Barkley said.

The official Club Shay Shay social media account posted a video of Barkley’s answer online.
“Charles Barkley Says Nikola Jokić Is Better Than (Dirk Nowitzki) – Do You Agree?”
Jokic and Dirk are two incredible NBA stars. But Joker’s ability as a playmaker separates him from Nowitzki.
