Ewing moved to the US in HS too, he's not considered international.

That's kinda why the Perk take for MVP felt a little out of nowhere to me too. Most the guys he was insinuating would vote for MVP because of that I felt like would most likely lean towards the more American player rather than a Serbian. Unless he literally believed voters were voting solely on tan-ness lol.
