Birthplace, not citizenship. These lists group players by the country they were born in, which is what the public roster data records. A player born in one country may hold another nationality, may have grown up elsewhere, and may represent a different country internationally.
Three NBA players on 2026-27 rosters were born in Bosnia and Herzegovina, each from a different city: Mostar, Tuzla, and Zenica. They spread across 3 teams and no two share a franchise.
All three went straight to the NBA without playing college basketball in the United States. The group skews big — 2 of the 3 are centers, and the tallest, Ivica Zubac, stands 7'0".
Think you'd know these players from their team, height, age and jersey number alone?
