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:yeshrug:

Close second would be NYC/Jersey or Indiana

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

Philly
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.

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
