Oh and Jordan and Melo

/thread

 

Melo grew up in NY but went to HS in VA (Oak Hill)
So i guess you can give or take him
MJ definetly is a product of NC

 

Yeah I was just joking about those 2.

Melo spent his early years in Brooklyn but he's a Baltimore product.

MJ also Brooklyn born and has a lot of love for NY but he's def NC to the core.

 

Word

Dude's from BALTIMORE

 

That's like saying 2Pac is a New York rapper. Nope.

 

I don't look at dates either but damn '08? Lol. I didn't even notice.

 

I guess I brought this thread back from the dead

 

chicago easy. even though there has been hundreds of dudes that made it to the league from here a lot of cats dont get looks. not tryna slander d rose but that dude had to cheat in school and had older brothers who to guide him. young kids that arent even in highschool already have left hands. its dudes in the county jail that play in the nba and probably score 20 a night.

 

seattle

 

I will say that I am disrespected that people are included Richmond/Baltimore dudes when they mention the DMV. Baltimore has nothing to do with DC. People from here need to stop grouping us together.

 

They group all three together DC, Maryland , and Virginia together because none can stand alone by itself. Nobody came from DC, Ty Lawson lived in dc briefly, Roy hibbert was originally from maryland , KD is from maryland he went to school in dc a few years.
So they do that because there would be no pedigree putting any of them alone.

 

Lilliard next too

 

Has to be New York or Chicago. Though Philly and DC has something to say about that.
