Which state/city has produced the best hoopers?

[Noriega]

Im obviously biased but ima go ahead and say Illinois/Chicago Area. Top of my head: D Wade,D Rose, Isiah Thomas, Kevin Garnett(Played 2 years of HS ball here), Anthony Davis, Andre Igoudala, Shaun Livingston, Jabari Parker,

Could go on and on

Close second would be NYC/Jersey or Indiana

@Buckeye Fever speak on your experiences watching Livingston and igoudala in hs

 

[UNATTACHED]

besides chicago,

Southern Cal
DMV
North Carolina

New York hoopers fell off something crazy.

New York hoopers fell off something crazy.

Player development is terrible in NYC, but there's a small turnaround happening.

Ny state teams have been winning the federation titles more often than city teams (Fed title is when state title winner plays city champs).

California had 30 million ppl of course they will have a lot of players you have to break up into cities

Bias - Philly

Kobe, Wilt, Sheed, Pearl, Kyle Lowry, Cat Mobley, Pooh Richardson, Morris Twins, Hakim Warrick, Aaron McKie, Sul Butler - Philly produces mostly starters with jumpshots. I could say Rip, Reke Evans & Jameer but we don't claim 'burbs as Philly.

Kobe isn't from Philly, it would be like lumping Elton Brand or Ben Gordon in with NYC players, Elton was about the same distance from the Bronx as Kobe was from Philly, and Mount Vernon is right next to the Bronx and 15 mins from Manhattan.

It’s probably NY for both when looking historically. College and Pro

 

[King Poetic]

I would say my city L.A....but we lost a lot of good ass players to gang life or random cross fire

I say chi town number 1

I think north Carolina right behind because a lot of New Yorkers moved down there
