I was wondering because I'm from Philly and I noticed over time that there has been so many players from here or right outside of here that reached the Pros or even high profile college ball. We definitely have to be up there w/ the best. Players: Aaron Mckie - 76ers Rafer Alston - Raptors Rasual Butler - Heat Marc Jackson - 76ers Jameer Nelson - Magic Rasheed Wallace - Pistons Rip Hamilton - Pistons John Salmons - 76ers Eddie Griffin - Wolves Cuttino Mobley - Magic Mark Macon - Temple's leading scorer with stint in NBA Mustafa Shakur - Arizona Wildcats Kobe Bryant - Lakers Hakim Warrick - Syracuse Ronald "Flip" Murray - Sonics Marvin O'Connor - Nova/SJU Aaron Owens (AO) - And1 Streetball Malik Rose - Spurs Hank Gathers - true b-ball fans should remember this guy Lionel Simmons - Lasalle's Top 5 scorers and stint in NBA Wilt Chamberlain - need I say more? Just some to name a few and that's not counting the Ol' School players.
I'll go with Cali... Jason Kidd - Nets Gary Payton - Sonics Paul Pierce - Boston Baron Davis - Hornets Tyson Chandler - Bulls Drew Gooden - Cavs Mike Bibby - Kings JR Rider Hook Mitchell
shapecity beat me to it, California IMO produces the best ballers (atleast the ones that made it through college)
<u>Seattle</u>: Pros: Doug Christie-Kings Jason Terry-Mavs Jamal Crawford-Knicks College: Nate Robinson-Washinton Marvin Williams-UNC There are more but I just don't remember them at the moment

Maybe you can list players from Oakland.
reykjavik,iceland. j?n arn?r stef?nsson-mavericks. p?tur gu?mundsson-spurs,blazers,lakers now these are the best ballas ever
The windy city Chicago: Kevin Garnett - Timberwolves Antoine Walker - Hawks Quentin Richardson - Suns Michael Finley - Mavericks Eddy Curry - Bulls
Kevin Garnett isn't from Chicago he just lived there for the last two years of his high-school career. He was actually born in South Carolina, then moved their because his high-school was racist, and wasn't exposing him enough. And that little arrest controversy. I guees you could consider Curry from Chi-Town. Although he is from a tiny suburb south of Chicago; Calumet City. Did you know that Q-Rich, D-Miles, and Curry all played in the same rec league as kids?
Active guys who played HS basketball in the Los Angeles Area: Reggie Miller Baron Davis (Crossroads High) Paul Pierce (Inglewood High) Andre Miller (Verbum Dei High) Keith Van Horn (Diamond Bar High) Tyson Chandler (Compton Dominguez (sp?) ) Casey Jacobson (Glendora High) Jason Kapono (Artesia High) Ed O'bannon (Artesia High)*** *I'm probably leaving some obvious guys off cuz this was off the top of my head ***EDIT: I just realized I put active guys and I listed Ed O'bannon, lol ..my bad
Damn, I think Philly may possibly have the most. But there is alot of players from New York that no one has mentioned. Philly Coaches: Jack Ramsey - Penn and NBA analyst Jim O'brien - 76ers John Cheaney - Temple Bruiser Flint - Drexel (his mom is my supervisor)
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Prodigy:</div><div class="quote_post">Dont forget Tasyshaun Prince...Compton I think..LA</div> Yea, I forgot about him. And you're right, he played at Compton Dominguez (sp?)
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Need4Sheed:</div><div class="quote_post">Rafer Alston - Raptors </div> I said him already
Na, I actually played against him a few years ago in a summer league. He had that big dude from Villanova Jason Lawson on his squad.
