Which state/city has produced the best hoopers?

[Bryan Danielson]

NC

NC......... GOD came from here.

And before niccas come in here with that “Bu Bu Bu Bu Bu he was born in Brooklyn”

Stop it

That nicca didn’t even walk one step in NY..... he moved to NC as a toddler and lived here all his life.

He honed his skills in NC
Niccad think he’s the greatest so therefore NC sits at the top of the list

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.

Kobe was born in Philly and lived there as a little kid. He just settled in Lower Merion later on (after Italy), which is the same as Jameer & Reke being from Chester. He also used to play ball at Temple when he was a teenager, with EJ & Blue

Ben Gordon was born in London, grew up in Mount Vernon and played in the Bronx all the time, still not a NYC product cause he played HS ball for Mount Vernon High.


Elton Brand played with and against Odom and Artest as well.

The state of NY got legends upon legends.

Kareem, DR J, bernard king, chris mullins, mark jackson, bob cousey.

Previous good to great NY players, marbury, noah, artest, lamar odom, kenny smith, kenny anderson, elton brand, roy hibbert,

Current good to great players from NY, melo, donovan mitchell, kemba, danny green, andre drummond, bamba (yup I’m already claiming him) tobias harris.

I’m not saying we better than California since they got the best current players but they also got twice as many people. Let us claim jersey since we tristate and then we shytting all over cali with kyrie and KAT

NYC and North Carolina's is 1a and 1b to me. It makes sense considering how many people from NYC have family there and visa-versa

 

[KingJudah2]

NY/NJ and it's not even close

there's a big link there

when folks see they child got talent the carolinas is one of the first places families go to let the talent develop

being a prep star in nyc is tough

you get access that can send you off track easily

Outside of my city, i think Seattle/Washington state is underrated. Crawfords, Nate Robinson, Brandon Roy, Isaiah Thomas.
