Pretty much all of the Argentines that are in the NBA are of Italian ancestry, and played professionally in the Italian league as well as for the Argentine National Team. Manu Ginobili, Fabricio Oberto, Luis Scola, Andres Nocioni, Carlos Delfino and Pablo Prigioni all have Italian surnames. Pepe Sanchez, who played college ball at Temple and played a couple of years in the league is the only Argentine player of note that had a Latin surname.
