I dont know what this list really means but jermaine oneal went to high school in south carolina not in eau claire, wi

[DanEboyParticipant]

Garnett is from South Carolina, Caron Butler is from Wisconsin, and somehow you forgot Wade is from Chicago

[llperez]

that’s too funny, zaza Pachulia from Georgia. He’s from the republic of Georgia near russia you dodo bird

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Hahahahahhahahah wow i made a lot of mistakes.. especiallyt he zaza pachulia hahahah thanks for pointing them out guys… I was in a hurry in making the list… especially the Zaza Pachulia hahahahhahahaha

[M-DYMESParticipant]

Nash was born in S. Africa.

[whiteflashParticipant]

Amid the many mistakes, Nate Robinson played in Seattle. You need to revise the list again man.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Steve Nash was born in S. Africa but grew up and played high school ball in Canada.

And Nate Robinson played his first 2 years in California and his Senior year in Seattle..

Thus making him from California because he grew up in Cali and played more years in a cali high school than a washington high school

[whiteflashParticipant]

??? He grew up in Seattle, played 1 year of highschool ball in Cali then moved back to Washington. Where are you getting your info from?

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

whiteflash, you are completely right.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

And caron butler had a brief career at wisconsin but it was at Maine where Jim Calhoun found him and that’s when he excelled at basketball.

[whiteflashParticipant]

Pretty sure Butler went to prep school in Maine ’cause he was getting into trouble in Wisconsin. Stephen Jackson is from around the corner from me but went off to Oak Hill if I’m not mistaken for his senior year. Alot of these guys went off to prep school somewhere to get away from distractions and focus on grades and ball.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Yeah that’s true.. especially if you get a chance to play at Oak Hill

[whiteflashParticipant]

That would be a good list, to see which Highschools have produced the most NBA players. Obviously Oak Hill would be at the top, but I’d be interested to see who else is up there.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Yeah I bet Oak Hill would win that list but.. Probably a school like… Chester in Pennsylvania… Kobe, Tyreke, and I think John Salmons went there… I’m not sure though… Don’t bet your money on it haha.. St. Benedicts Prep has also produced a couple of players.. Bynum, JR Smith and they have some player right now that is deemed to go to the NBA.

[whiteflashParticipant]

Yeah, Bryant went to Lower Merion.

[mouchy18Participant]

Foye
Earl Clark
Villanueva
Tim Thomas

I’ll pour two out for Jay Williams(duke) & Dajuan Wagner….and for what Derrick charracter should have been

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Like I said, I only put in household names.. Randy Foye and Earl Clark aren’t household names yet.. Neither is villanueva, Tim Thomas may have a case gut not much.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Yeah true, he went to Lower Merion.. I believe it’s NEAR Chester though, that doesn’t mean he played in that high school that’s not what i’m saying but it was near.

[jgunnaParticipant]

Marquis Daniels and Tracy McGrady are from Orlando, and Auburndale, FL respectively. The Graham twins are from Brandon/Tampa, FL, Keyon Dooling is from Ft. Lauderdale, and the kid from Denver w/the dreds, and the skinny athletic kid who played w/him @ South Carolina currently playing for the Cavs are both from from Tampa, FL.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

The Graham teams i wouldn’t call notable players, Keyon dooling is doing good but guess where he’s playing.. NJN.. That’s why he’s doing well.. Balkman isn’t a notable player. You’re correct about T-Mac, he finished his senior year at Mt. Zion but he grew up in Florida

[realtalk_901Participant]

mouchy how can you bring up Jersey ballers with including: Mike Bibby, Andrew Bynum, Al Harrington, Troy Murphy, Danhtay Jones, Shaquille O’Neal, JR Smith, Tim Thomas, Jason Thompson, David West

[weballin.netParticipant]

You forgot Turiaf, Beaubois and Petro from France. Nate Robinson is from Seattle for me. Butler went at MCI but is from Racine WI that he left as he was running with gang members.

http://www.weballin.net

[weballin.netParticipant]

And Stephen Jackson is from Port Arthur Texas

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Yeah stephen jackson is in texas, beaubois isn’t good enough to put on the list. Caron wasn’t good at basketball until he came to maine.

[QUINCEY]

butler wasnt good at basketball till he came to maine?????…lol. yeah you are wrong on sooooooooooooo many levels here with that butler comment being one of the biggest. please make sure you do better research first. many top schools like butler before he went to maine. he was the same baller before he went there, and he went there because of grades and trouble

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

Quincey, he wasn’t recruited by ANY college until he played at maine and caught the eye of jim calhoun
