id like to see what everyone thinks because my area hasnt been getting the respect it clearly deserves

[tonyl33Participant]

As of today’s NBA STARS, I’ll have to give my hats off to the MD/DC area. Melo and Durant should be more than enough to take the victory but we can also throw in Beasley.

Then again FL has created players like, Howard, VC, and Tmac so it’s hard call. When Vince and Tmac were in their prime, they were unstoppable.

nyc…

[quinceyhodges]

i forgot about melo

[Cusemen727Participant]

Melo, Durant, Donte Greene, Beasley, Rudy Gay, Jeff Green, Roy Hibbert, Ty Lawson, now im not saying that states like cali and new york havent produced more nba talent, but when a state like maryland which has close to 5 times less population then those states i dont think you can beat the talent maryland has produced.

SYRACUSE ORANGE 09-10 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!

[quinceyhodges]

as far as all time its not even close because cali has produced 300 plus nba players

[tonyl33Participant]

MD has produce some great players but the only ones we can really consider at this point in thier game is Melo, Durant.

[quinceyhodges]

youre welcome to youre opinion but i do consider other good players like beasley,green, hibbert, gay etc. as far as great no one can be considered yet untill they are at the end of there career or close to it

[quinceyhodges]

lol…ok….gotta rep my hometown

[Prospect21Participant]

MD has respect. I was joking.

All Time?

New York, California, Maryland (DC area), Seattle and Indiana are my top 5

[quinceyhodges]

as far as number cali has 40 current nba players. then again they have a good 5 times more people then we do

[FastAndFuriousParticipant]

Detroit/Michigan could be up there if there if there weren’t so many headcases

[quinceyhodges]

wait i thought sean may was indiana?

[DanEboyParticipant]

Sean May was born in Chicago but he did play High School in Indiana…my bad.

Livingston is on the list and he is in the NBA…Thunder

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Sean May is from Bloomington Indiana, not Bloomington Illinois.

That Illinois list is sick though… He isn’t on a NBA team currently, but throw Shaun Livingston on there. He’s from Peoria.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Yea… He was born in Chi Town, but they’ve always lived in Bloomington, Indiana.

Livingston got released by the Thunder a month or so ago I thought?

[DanEboyParticipant]

You are correct Tezo

[DanEboyParticipant]

Current Illinois born players:

Wade
Iguodala
Maggette
Rose
Q-Rich
Shannon Brown
Luther Head
Shawn Marion
Shaun Livingston
Eddy Curry
Michael Finley
Will Bynum
Juwan Howard
Sean May—Indiana…my bad….was born in Chicago though
Nazr Mohammed
Jason Maxiel—-another one I am not sure about…was born here but not sure if he grew up here.
Steve Novak
Janerro Pargo
Anthony Parker
Bobby Simmons
Alando Tucker
Julian Wright
Tony Allen
Brian Cardinal
Brian Cook

And soon to be Evan Turner and Sherron Collins. California’s list is just sick with talent.

[quinceyhodges]

oh ok…basically it should be where u grew up

[darkman97Participant]

If ya talking Dwight then I think he was from the ATL.

[whyyouhatingParticipant]

I got to through my home state in there baby.
look it up Texas got to be top 5 and still putting out good player year every year

D Williams
TJ Ford
Rashard Lewis
Boobie Gibson
Anthony Randolph
LaMarcus Aldridge
Darrell Arthur
Chris Bosh
Stephen Jackson
DeAndre Jordan
Acie Law
Cartier Martin
C.J. Miles
Emeka Okafor
Kendrick Perkins
Ronnie Price
Quinton Ross
Sean Williams

[quinceyhodges]

states that big should have many more then some of the small states

[quinceyhodges]

ill take my five of

ty lawson
kevin durant
rudy gay
melo
hibbert
with beasley as my 6th man over anyone else home town. i say we win by double figures as well

[thaprodigyParticipant]

Dwight is from ATL and Shaun Livingston was released when the Thunder got Eric Maynor

[whyyouhatingParticipant]

Chris Andersen
Tony Battie
Jeff Foster
Desmond Mason

No way your state blows out Texas , plus most teams have more than five player on them.

D Williams and TJ Ford as the 1’s

Stephen Jackson and Boobie as our 2’s

Rashard Lewis and Anthony Randolph as our 3’s

Chris Bosh and LaMarcus Aldridge at the 4’s

Emeka and Kendrick Perkins as the 5’s

I can’t say we will beat ever state but we will not be blown out. We will come in the top 5

[quinceyhodges]

there wer other i would have added to my bench like delonte west
keith bogans
joey dorsey
etc

but yeah that texas squad would give us some trouble

randoplh has shown hes very ineffective as a 3. plus this is one game. dont need a deep bench for one game

my three of melo gay and durant wins the game though… youre top three just cant compete with that

[quinceyhodges]

hell forget top 5 with that team i have ya’ll coming in at second. but thats excpected look how big texas is. much higher chance to have better players. that state is like haveing nyc/maryland/indiana into one

[DanEboyParticipant]

I will take my Chicago area squad of

Rose
Wade
Iggy
Marion
Maggette

No center though…Eddy Curry I guess. I could make a claim for KG because he played at Farragut and got drafted out of Chicago but he grew up in South Carolina.

[quinceyhodges]

maybe that would be a distant third.. down low is what would kill ya’ll though. that team would be idal for us to play thoyugh because then we would replace hibbert with beasley and put melo at the four

[thaprodigyParticipant]

Mississippi has Monta Ellis, Al Jefferson, Travis Outlaw, and Mo Williams

[quinceyhodges]

pretty good players. i dont think they could handle our team or texas team. i think they can give the chi team a run for there money maybe
