On a different note, as Turkey is more or less a melting-pot of Balkanian and Caucasian emigres as well as local inhabitants of Anatolia and of course Turkic people, we have a considerable number of players with mixed ethnic origin. One of Turkoglu's parents is from Novi Pazar, Serbia. Okur is half Crimean Tartar, half-Bosniak, Besok-Montenegrin Muslim, Erdenay and Aytek Gurkan-Crimean Tartar, Onan-Arab, Ufuk Sarica, Semih Erden, Can Ozcan, Hakan Koseoglu-Bosnian to name just a few.

Muss es ja nicht glauben, wenn du nicht willst. Doch das ist von einem Türken aus Ankara. Es ist ja kein Geheimnis das es in der Türkei viele verschiedene ethnische Gruppen gibt.
 
Congratulations Memo!

Utah Jazz F/C Mehmet Okur was named to the Western Conference All-Star team, the NBA announced today. Okur becomes the second Jazzman selected to this year’s All-Star Game, joining teammate Carlos Boozer. Okur was tabbed by NBA Commissioner David Stern as an injury replacement for the 2007 NBA All-Star Game which will be played on Sunday, Feb. 18 at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

This is the first All-Star berth for the 6-11, 263-pound native of Turkey, who is in his fifth NBA season and third with the Jazz. Okur has started all 51 Jazz games and is averaging a career-high 18.2 points, along with 7.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists. Okur ranks second on the Jazz in both scoring and rebounding and has posted 15 double-doubles on the season. He also leads the team in three-point shooting, hitting 92-of-238 attempts (.387), the most in the NBA for a player 6-11 or taller.

Okur has been one of the most clutch players in the NBA this season, hitting 28 game-tying or leading field goals in the fourth quarter or overtime, including four-game winning shots in the final 40 seconds of games. He has also proven durable, having appeared in 231 straight games (all 213 since joining the Jazz), the fifth-longest active streak in the NBA.

Okur is the tenth player in Jazz franchise history to make the All-Star Game, and joins Boozer as the first Jazz representatives since Andrei Kirilenko in 2004. The other Jazz All-Stars are Boozer, Adrian Dantley (1980-82, ‘84-86), Mark Eaton (1989), Rickey Green (1984), Andrei Kirilenko (2004), Karl Malone (1988-02), Pete Maravich (1977-79), Len “Truck” Robinson (1978) and John Stockton (1989-97, ‘00). This is the first time the Jazz have had multiple players selected to the NBA All-Star game since 2000 with Malone and Stockton.

The 56th NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, Feb. 18, will air live on TNT and ESPN Radio beginning at 6 p.m. MT. The game will also be telecast in over 200 countries and broadcast on NBA.com.
