Brooklyn is a city in New York my guy.

The topic is about which STATE they hail from

Hamilton more than an hour from Toronto

Damn! Chet Holgrem on the list early!

Off the bat I threw the list in the garbage. Dwight fu#kin Howard?!?!

The obvious, correct answer is Clyde Frazier, soon to be Ant Edwards.

that's dope when you born in the city and played for the team
Mitch Richmond sound like a bay area name but he was born in Miami

Damn. Lilliard over Payton is so wild. A super Saiyan casual made this sh1t up
Payton went toe to toe with Jordan in the Finals. Lilliard’s one deep run ended in a Conference Finals sweep to GS… with Durant in street clothes :

TMac was born in Bartow, FL. Stop disrespecting Polk County.

His dad Calvin Hill played for the Cowboys until '74, G Hill was born in Dallas in '72. Raised in VA tho.

Came to say this

He was born in Dallas

Damn u right my bad. My mind kept switching to the place they played in and grew up at

Larry Johnson was better than Chris Bosh. No debate.

Damn forgot about Grant Hill. Some will also argue Tyler TX isn’t Dallas

my bad, i misread your post.

Im from STL but lived in Chicago too for a while. Growing up it was either:

Your free throw after you score or your layup after you missed a jumper

Zeke was a better individual player than wade in my opinion

+1   

J Kidd all day

That’s my point. Either one tbh

Indy would never claim Hayward over Bird.

Anderson, Sheboygan, Waterloo, Rochester, Fort Wayne, Minneapolis, Syracuse, St. Louis, San Diego, Buffalo, Kansas City/Omaha, Vancouver, and Seattle have all had NBA teams at one point and should always be included when talking about lost/moved franchises. A lot of NBA players have also come out of these cities, and there were big reasons why most of them even the really small markets had players coming out those regions. Many of those early franchises came out of the merger era and should have been moved or shut down for small markets but thay doesn't mean players didn't come from there.., and some folded because the league was still finding its footing. Even though some of these places were considered “too small” later on, they played a real role in NBA history. Seattle alone produced enough talent to fill out an starting roster thay could snack tons of nba teamns, they missing height but got hooper.... Honestly, about half this list (or more) has sent major players to the league, but you don’t always hear that when non-NBA fans make lists.


Seattle alone is crazy

Jamal Crawford (legendary 6th man).

Brandon Roy (3× All-Star).

Nate Robinson (3× Slam Dunk Contest champion).

Isaiah Thomas (All-NBA).

Dejounte Murray (All-Star).

Paolo Banchero (Orlando Magic, #1 pick 2022).

Zach LaVine (2× All-Star, Slam Dunk champ).

Aaron Brooks (NBA journeyman).

Spencer Hawes ( biggest bust in NBA history maybe).

Jaden McDaniels ( he was coo on offense.. super beast om defense).

Terrence Williams (caught scamming the nba hahah)

Seattle mad deep in the nba and put out more players the huger cities...

Larry wasn't born in Indianapolis
