NBA players by country in 2006

This is a list of National Basketball Association players by country, not including the United States. The list includes players both past and present. In this list, the "United States" is defined as solely the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The NBA considers all players from outside that area "international," even if they are from U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

For all NBA players, see List of National Basketball Association players.
For currently active NBA players see List of current NBA players.
