Best NBA lineup with players from your home state

[Wamu]

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

I thought about mentioning Nash. Helluva player & no doubt a future HOFer. I went w/ Parker because of the rings & TP is a better offensive player than Nash was. Although Nash is the better distributor of the rock. Can't go wrong w/ either way though.

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

Akron, Ohio

Lebron James
Stephen Curry
Nate Thurmond

Now I'm not sure exactly what year the NBA starting counting quadruple doubles as an official stat but the fist NBAer to do that was Nate Thurmond. And the 2nd player to accomplish that was Barberton's Alvin Robertson.

Wisconsin.... hmmmmm... uuuuhhhh...

Wait, Nick Van Exel was from Kenosha! That's one!

ummm........... Oh! Latrell Spreewell! I'm REALLY glad I thought of him!

what a lineup!

Claiming Jordan for NY seems a stretch. I think a guy should at least have to be able to remember living somewhere for a state to claim him. $0.02

I kind of thought that too when I originally posted this thread. I didn't consider people like Kenyon Martin who didn't grow up or go to school in Michigan for my team.

You don't want to mess with NYC

Lebron aint scared

 

[logic]

Lebron aint scared

The Captain will swat him away like a fly.

 

[lakersrule]

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

Certainly a loaded team that could carry Russell to 11 titles. He's used to that.

 

[lakersrule]

The All-Caribbean Team

PG - Rumeal Robinson
SG - Raja Bell
C - Tim Duncan
C - Mychal Thompson
C - Patrick Ewing

The Triple Tower lineup. Not many guards to choose from.

 

[OregonDucks]

Off the top of my head of who has been in league from Oregon..

Kyle Singler
Kevin Love
Terrance Jones
Fred Jones
Mike Dunleavy

 

[podsox]

Isiah Thomas
Dwayne Wade
Mark Aguirre
Anthony Davis
George Mikan

 

[SJ76]

Let's go current NBA players:


D Rose
D Wade
Jabari Parker
Anthony Davis
Meyers Leonard

subs:

Evan Turner
Shaun Livingston
Javale Magee
Kevin Garnett
Andre Iguodala
kid from Duke Okafor

 

[Wishbone]

Oklahoma:

Wayman Tisdale
Blake Griffin
Mookie Blaylock
Mark Price
Dennis Rodman

Could throw John Starks, Brent Price, and Emeka Okafor in there.

On what grounds are you claiming Rodman for OK. He was born in NJ and raised in TX.

 

[Wishbone]

Rodman was a three-time NAIA All-American at Southeastern Oklahoma State University.

Not how this game works. It has been where they were born up to this point.

Not bad at all

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Its where they were born.

That is why New York gets to claim Michael Jordan who has zero if any ties whatsoever to the state after age 1.

But, we get to claim Grant Hill by the same scenario for the handful of months he lived in Texas.
