NBA, NHL, MLB players from Poland?

Are there any polish players in the nba. any major sports.

wojtek wolski

plays NHL for the Avalanche... there are a few more hockey players in the NHL but I can't think of any NBA players :)

actually i dont care for hockey.

Oh dbart, I was starting to like you, but now you give me reason to have second thoughts....;) I love Hockey!

Wolski lived in Canada since he was 4 or so.
There are many Polish-Americans playing baseball but I don't think any poles born in Poland. The most famous and best being Stan "the man" Musial, but he was born in the states his parents in poland.
I love hockey Unia #1

Maruisz Czerkawski and Krzystof Oliwa two NHL players but now they are back in poland I think.

sorry about the hockey thing but the only thing that i like about it is the fights, they can get brutal.

i posted a thread about this not too long ago, no one seemed to care:

Czerkawski doesn't play in NHL anymore (he plays in Switzerland now).

Yes, I was excited when I saw Wojtek Wolski along with Joe Sakic playing the Detroit Redwings at the Pepsi Co. Center... but I was kinda disappointed that he was actually raised in Canada so I thought "oh, well, he's canadian".

And sorry DBart22, but I love hockey so I had to mention about it too ;)
And about fighting... well, I'd have to ask my sister's husband, he loves the Ultimate Fighting. But I only know there are poles in the World's Strongest Man Competition haha.

i think there had never been a polish player in NBA. Do polish people like basketball?

If u have no idea about some topic then just shut up.
Marcin Gortrat playes in Orlando Magic. Besides Maciek Lampe and Czarek Trybański were playing in NBA too.

Are turkish people dumb? So silly question.
There are some which like it and some which dont.
Im playing in basketball school team around 8 years.

nice than, play it, but understand it first.
I know trybanski. Then Do you know Mehmet Okur / Utah?

and i talk polite (kind), not like you, rude....

but you 're right, i accept. If i have no idea, i have to shut op, sorry. But dont say dumb ok?

I can say what i want. Specially when i have reason to say it.

that's your rudeness

Bingo o.O

i forgot about Lampe. I actually did know about him, because every year in utah. we have the rocky mountain review. (this was some years back) Lampe was playing for new york, then phenoix. he is stinkin tall.

there have been a few others but cant remember off the top of my head.

isnt that the 7 foot girl. she used to play for the utah starzz in the WNBA

Dunno, but a lot of us are definitely tall enough. My cousin married a guy (who's name happens to be Artur as well) and he's 6"8. He'd just have to stand next to the hoop and do a little bunny hop to dunk. :]

Many like but It's far behind football.

Joe Borowski.. Cleveland Indians

Marcin Gortat is in the NBA

there also are at least a couple polish americans (born in the old country) that play in the NFL.. one was a kicker but i couldn't even tell you whom he plaid for.

Sebastian Janikowski of the Oakland Raiders
