	I'm pretty sure its spelled, "Jamaica". You had me going crazy on the first player. I'm a die hard Knicks fan and I know for a fact he's from Kingston, Jamaica

	You need to make it so we guess in order for each player. Otherwise you can just name random countries and get most of them.

	I agree that you could add a lot more countries. Tony Parker? Zaza Pachulia?

	added some more players. adding Parker would be too confusing since he was born in Belgium but reps France, so I picked a different player from France

	Good quiz. You could also add Jonas Jerebko, the first Scandinavian in the NBA.

	Interesting quiz but a few things need fixing. First, Puerto Rico is part of the US. Another issue is that some of the countries had different names (or were part of another country) when the players were born. Zaire becoming DRC was mentioned before, Serbia used to be part of Yugoslavia, Georgia used to be part of the USSR, and Russia was called USSR. I'm sure a couple others have had name changes too. So just put the old names as alternate answers and I think you will have a great quiz.
