dirk nowitzki from dallas maveriks is german...
toni kukoc (chicago bulls, not sure if he still plays there) is croatian
detlef schrempf, i think hes retired, but he used to play for seattle, he was german too - maybe he became american somehow...

i think everybody can play in the NBA, no matter what race of what country hes from AS LONG AS HE PLAYS GOOD ENOUGH (without cheating of course, doping etc.) - thats the only limitation

International players in the NBA are becoming more common. Argentina has two players, different countries are adding players. Who knows, the NBA might turn into Baseball, which in the United States is now majority Latin, as the most common last name is Martinez, but I doubt that. Black Americans seem to have a strong hold on the NBA game, but international players are becoming more and more common. NHL is internation, MLB is inter-American, NBA is becoming internation, the NFL is the only U.S. strong hold left.

maybe the NBA will become more diverse... over here football teams seem 50/50, or worse (arsenal are nearly all french arent they? lol)

Lithuania has  1 NBA player..and he's not evena  starter...so I could see more Lithuania players coming to the NBA the next few seasons lol

there has been an increase of euro players in the NBA since the early 90's
