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 the Netherlands, each from a different Dutch city. They are spread one to a team across the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, and Memphis Grizzlies.
All three are big men — 2 forwards and 1 center — and each attended a different American college before reaching the NBA. The Netherlands is one of 46 countries represented among the league's international-born players this season.
Think you'd know these players from their team, height, age and jersey number alone?
