In the National Basketball Association, players born outside of the United States are often known as international players. Players who were born in U.S. overseas territories, such as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, are considered international players even if they are U.S. citizens. In some borderline cases, the NBA takes into consideration whether a player desires to be identified as international. Additionally, there are players who are U.S. citizens on account of being born there but who also have additional citizenships or have represented other countries in international basketball competition. This list contains all players who fulfill at least one of these conditions.

  • Cet article présente la liste du nombre de joueurs étrangers ayant évolué en NBA. La NBA définit un « joueur international » comme quelqu'un né à l'extérieur des États-Unis. Les joueurs nés dans les territoires américains tels que Porto Rico, les Îles Vierges et Guam sont considérés comme internationaux, en dépit d'être considérés comme des citoyens américains. Dans certains cas, la NBA prend en considération si un joueur veut être identifié comme international. (fr)
  • Il primo giocatore straniero a militare in NBA fu Hank Biasatti, nato in Italia ma cresciuto in Canada. Biasatti debuttò nel 1946 (quando l'NBA si chiamava BAA). Negli anni '80 tanti giocatori internazionali in NBA arrivarono dal Canada, ma l'episodio spartiacque fu la sconfitta della Nazionale statunitense alle Olimpiadi di Seoul del 1988; a seguito della vittoria dell'URSS al torneo olimpico, un po' di giocatori stranieri dall'Europa arrivarono a giocare in NBA alla fine degli anni '80 (Vlade Divac e Dražen Petrović i più importanti), fino all'aumento che ci fu negli anni '90 (in quel periodo arrivarono tante stelle dall'ex Jugoslavia tra cui Toni Kukoč).
