Dražen Petrovic and Šarunas Marciulionis. Both were tough guys that could play.
The consensus on European players at the time was many had decent basketball skills, but couldn't handle the speed and physicality of the NBA, couldn't keep up on defense, and couldn't get off shots against NBA defenders.
Drazen and Sarunas were the first to really break that stereotype.
