如果说2001年NBA选秀是高中生扬眉吐气的一年的话,那么2002年NBA选秀无疑是国际球员大放异彩的一年。这不仅是因为中国球员姚明成为第一位不在美国念大学的外籍新秀状元,而且还有创纪录的14名国际球员被选中,其中7人在第一轮被选中。而在2001年,有11名国际球员参加,其中5名第一轮被选中。今年的选秀显示出1984年上台的总裁戴维·斯特恩的国际化路线取得了阶段性的成功。当然,从另一个角度讲,NBA国际化潮流使得美国本土球员的地位受到了挑战。上赛季,在NBA联盟中效力的国际球员来自30个不同的国家和地区,人数达51名。

This is not only because Chinese Yao Ming became the first foreign rookie not out of college in the United States, but a record 14 international players were selected, seven of whom were selected in the first round. In 2001, 11 international players participated, of which five were selected in the first round. This year’s draft shows that the internationalization of David Stern, president since taking office in 1984, has achieved some success. Of course, from another perspective, the trend of NBA internationalization makes the position of the native American player challenged. Last season, the number of international players in the NBA’s league came from 30 different countries and reached 51.
