Best NBA lineup with players from your home state

[Hornsstampede2.0]

The TEXAS list is sadly a bit weak relative to its massive population and giant cities.

Football dominated the state for its entire existence.

Hopefully all the success of the Spurs, Rockets, and Mavericks the last 25 years has started a basketball pipeline.

But you could have guys with the names Zelmo, Skeeter, and Spud on the team, what more could you want?

Holy Crap! How'd I miss that? He and Wilt were the reasons I looked at Pennsylvania in the first place.

New Pennsylvania lineup:

Wilt Chamberlain
Maurice Lucas
Rasheed Wallace
Kobe Bryant
Earl Monroe

6th man - Pete Maravich
Coach - George Karl

Can't do a list for Ohio, was already taken care of. Here's a list of players from N. Carolina...

Chris Paul, David Thompson, James Worthy, Bob McAdoo, Brad Daugherty

 

[gordontrue]

Ohio could make a case for best lineup with current NBA players... featuring the best 2 players in the game right now.

 

[Wamu]

The foreign starting 5...

Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Patrick Ewing

 

[logic]

The foreign starting 5...

Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Patrick Ewing

Alternate Team:
Steve Nash, Drazen Petrovic, Toni Kukoc, Detlef Schrempf, Arvydas Sabonis

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

No Akeem on the foreign starting five?

I can live with Ewing at center over him if it is position only based.

The foreign starting 5...

Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Patrick Ewing

Alternate Team:
Steve Nash, Drazen Petrovic, Toni Kukoc, Detlef Schrempf, Arvydas Sabonis

Can also add Marc Gasol, Peja Stojakovic, Boris Diaw and Hakeem Olajuwon.

 

[lakersrule]

The all-time starting 5 from my hometown of Fountain Valley, California.....

Dan McClintock (C)

Eh, not looking very good.

I can live with Ewing at center over him if it is position only based.

Damn, what was I thinking. I'd take Olijuwon as my center, he's better than Ewing or Sabonis (though not many realize how great Sabonis was in his Soviet days).

 

[logic]

Illinois can field a good team:
Isiah Thomas
Dwayne Wade
Mark Aguire
Dan issel
George Mikan

(you have Rose and Anthony Davis coming off the Bench).

No I goofed up. Meant to list The Dream over Ewing instead, my bad!

 

[Wamu]

Can also add Marc Gasol, Peja Stojakovic, Boris Diaw and Hakeem Olajuwon.

Yep. Can't believe I didn't list Hakeem!

 

[SpartyNash13]

The foreign starting 5...

Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Patrick Ewing

I would definitely put Nash above Parker, but I am a little biased

 

[Shanemansj13]

If we did individual cities instead of states, I could make a case.

Akron, Ohio

Lebron James
Stephen Curry
Nate Thurmond

 

[SpartyNash13]

Looked at Louisiana, holy shit, loaded
PG - Joe Dumars
SG - Clyde Drexler
SF - Marques Johnson
PF - Karl Malone
C - Bill Russell

On the bench are Bob Pettit, Elvin Hayes, Willis Reed, Robert Parish
