In Belgium, there is a lot of buzz surrounding DJ Mbenga , the first 'Belgian' player to play in the NBA. He's not a factor yet with his team, the Dallas Mavericks, but give him some time.
My personal favorite 7-footer is the superstar of the Mavs, German Dirk Nowitzki. Read the entertaining linked article about him.

This is my favourite excerpt : 'On Being ambidextrous: "I can knock down six of 10 16-footers left-handed, but I don't have the confidence yet to shoot those in a game."
Creepy stuff. 16-foot is only one step inside the European three-point arc.
