Comments on: A U.S. State Expansion On…Where Are NBA Players From? http://www.truthaboutit.net/2007/11/us-state-expansion-onwhere-are-nba.html a Washington Wizards blog based in Washington, DC, member of the ESPN TrueHoop Network Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:06:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Truth About It http://www.truthaboutit.net/2007/11/us-state-expansion-onwhere-are-nba.html/comment-page-1#comment-704 Truth About It Thu, 30 Jul 2009 02:46:32 +0000 http://truthaboutitwizards.wordpress.com/2007/11/30/a-u-s-state-expansion-on-where-are-nba-players-from/#comment-704 To respond to our friends from Alaska: The original research was done by Jason Gurney of BallHype. http://ballhype.com/static/nba_birthplace_map/ In doing so, he got hung up on the technicality of Carlos Boozer being born in Germany. Otherwise, the data only includes players who were currently in the NBA at the time of the research (Nov. 2007), so ... Davis, Chalmers and Langdon were not listed since they were not in the league. Sorry! Thanks for stopping by. To respond to our friends from Alaska:

Washington has at least 12 players in the nba right now. Brandon Roy-Portland Jason Terry-Dallas Nate Robinson-New York Jamal Crawford-Golden State Spencer Hawes-Sacremento Martell Webster-Portland Marvin Williams-Atlanta Brian Scalabrine-Boston Aaron Brooks-Houston Adam Morrison-LA Lakers Rodney Stucky-Detroit Luke Ridinour-Milwaukee Not to mention Seattle-Tacoma produced more 2009 Mcdonalds All Americans then NYC, Philly and Chicago combined. Dont sleep on Sea Town one of the best b ball cities with a lot more nba players to come like: Terrence Williams Abdul Gaddy Peyton Siva Isiah Thomas I dont know when this was done but it is off as far as the state of washington goes.

To switch sports, some of the greatest, if not THE greatest NFL skill position players of all-time were from Mississippi.

Brett Favre – QB – The Kiln, MS

Steve Mcnair – QB Mount Olive, MS
(maybe not an NFL great, but was the league MVP in ’03, and a legendary college player)

Walter Payton – RB – Columbia, MS

Jerry Rice – WR – Crawford, MS

Of course, Archie Manning was born in Cleveland, MS, but I believe both Peyton and Eli were born in New Orleans.

And don’t forget 1959 NFL MVP, Charley Conerly from Clarksdale, MS.

I could go on….
