Philly has Kobe, Wilt, and Earl Monroe, three of the best players of all-time, that is going to be hard to beat.

we just had this topic like a week ago, but i’ll repeat some Cali notables:

Bill Walton, Jamal WIlkes, Gail Goodrich, Reggie Miller, Gary Payton, Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd, Paul Pierce are all legends off the top of my head.

There are currently 45 NBA players who grew up in california including some real good up and comers like Russell Westbrook, Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday, Darren COllison, Gilbert Arenas, Baron Davis, Richard Jafferson, Andre Miller, DeMar Derozan etc..

[RUDEBOY_Participant]

Yeah Cali,Chi-Town & Carolina have some real ballers in the league right now..
But lets not forget my home state Mississippi…Spencer Haywood,Danny Manning,Al Jefferson,Antonio McDyess,Chris Jackson & Monta Ellis..Plus Dr. Naismith spent the nite at a bordello in the 30’s in Mississippi so he might have some offsprings there..lol..

[NYK2010Participant]

Cali is a huge State, I think they are going by cities like NY, Chicago, Philly.
