What city has produced the best NBA players?

[wjun15]

I was checkin the New York NBA players thread, and this got me wonderin what CITY has produced the best basketball players. I'm guessin its prollysomewhere in the DC/VA area but cant sleep on Seattle

Brandon Roy
Jason Terry
Nate Robinson
Jamal Crawford
Martell Webster
Aaron Brooks
Marvin Williams (bremerton?)
John Brockman
Spencer Hawes


What city has the best current NBA players? Past?

edit: and no, just cuz someone went to a high school in the area for a year or two doesnt count. aka brandon jennings in oak hill. i know oak hill has the mostnba players out of any hs.

co sign with dc/md/va. known for boxers, ballers, comedians

 

[im not you]

In terms of an actual city...it's hands down Seattle. DC/MD/VA is a large area.

Seattle is a hot bed right now. Chicago has always been high on the list. Los Angeles area too. Can't forget them

Also, DMV doesn't typically mean ALL of VA....Northern VA is completely different than the 7 cities area further south.

Indianapolis has produced some young talent lately.

Greg Oden, Mike Conley, Eric Gordon, Courtney Lee and George Hill.

 

[kingjay718]

Michigan.

Steve Smith, Magic Johnson, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Mateen Cleaves, Morris Peterson, Charlie Bell, George Gervin, and so forth.

 

[extraordinary swag]

How bout Oakland?

Baron
Kidd
GP
Paul Pierce
Drew Gooden
Bill Russell
Paul Silas

If we're talking the whole state of California:
Baron Davis
Tyson Chandler
Reggie Miller
Gilbert Arenas
Ray Allen
Kevin Johnson

I think Chi-Town is killing it though

Same thing with Baltimore...

I could never group Melo in with KD or Beasley because DC and B-More are two totally different areas.

 

[kingjay718]

Oops. Detroit. Lets not forget the Fab 5.

Cept for the fact that not all of them were from Detroit...

 

[kidoopz]

Dallas
Lamarcus Aldridge
Quinton Ross
Deron Williams
Darrel Arthur
Chris Bosh
Kenyon Martin
CJ Miles
Kurt Thomas
Sean Williams

Not Bad Not Bad
But, I'm looking at that Chicago list and that's pretty hard to beat

yup...u might come to blows if you say b-more is part of the DMV

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I hate when folks try to group B-More with the DC Area. Folks not from here don't understand and say, "Baltimore is closer than some parts of NorthernVA."

 

[i nasmatic i]

LA area the last five years:
Jordan Farmar
Arron Afflalo
Nick Young
James Harden
Demar DeRozan
Russell Westbrook
Trevor Ariza
Dorrell Wright
Amir Johnson
Brandon Jennings
Marcus Williams
Craig Smith

I'm sure I'm missing some players.

 

[bigtimejerky]

Barons from la, not oakland tho

Add leon powe, eddie house, matt barnes to that oakland list too

[airjordan jb23]

As of now I'd have to agree with Seattle.
