Latrell Sprewell averaged below 20 PPG literally 9 times out of 13 seasons. I'm also pretty sure he didn't make it to the "1984 All-NBA First Team" because he was 14 at the time. And lastly, Terry Porter is clearly a better choice for Wisconsin.
A couple more NBA championships and one could argue that Steph Curry is the greatest player from North Carolina. The GOAT and the GSOAT (greatest shooter of all time).
This is the worst take I've ever read. Tatum just finished top 5 in MVP voting and averaged 30 ppg. He's one of the most accomplished players ever at his age. Bill Bradley has made exactly one All-Star team and never averaged more than 16 ppg. Seriously, go get an MRI or something. There's something wrong with your brain.
WTF?! CP3 is the best player out of North Carolina. Not MJ. And ok I can agree and live with wilt the stilt as the best player out of Pennsylvania. But I would pick Kobe over him. Because Kobe have 5 rings and is a 2x finals MVP. And wilt only have 2 rings. And 1 finals MVP. Ok he have more regular season MVP'S I give him credit for that. But MJ isn't the G.O.A.T. of basketball. He smell as a goat and haves the basketball IQ of a goat. And the best player from Virginia is Alan Iverson. I mean Virginia and not West Virginia.
Thank you sir for your Moses Malone selection. Virginia has a lot of greats. Iverson, David Robinson, Ralph Sampson, Alonzo Mourning, Paul Pressy, Bobby Dandridge , Grant Hill.....but Moses is definitely the best of VA.
Ironic that Matt Bonner made your list but none of the Spurs' big three did - or could. One Frenchman, one Argentinian, one U.S. citizen born and raised in the Virgin Islands. If you ever do another video, of great players born outside the 50 states, Tony, Manu, and Tim deserve to be mentioned.
A lot of these are egregiously bad picks. There's also no consistency to how you decided whether or not someone was "from" a state. You overlook some obvious choices of players who were born in a state but moved before high school, but then stick Shaq in the NJ category despite him never having played there at any level.
Wilt over Kobe is an easy one, and I'm a Kobe fan. You might want to go research the absolutely insane things Wilt did. He has over 70 unbroken NBA records
@michaelmamba1578 doesn't matter...he had no control over when he was born so that can't be held against him. He dominated the era given to him....and you and a lot of others need to understand that eras evolve...it's easy to be in the 2000s and ignorantly criticise those eras that came before. It's obvious the style of play is faster and more skilled now, but you had to have all the eras before to get to this point.
Patrick Ewing is from Jamaica - even stayed there until he was 13. Literally not even from the USA. Some good picks here, but overall I feel like this video is just very lazy.
Since your video is the best NBA player from each state, Bill Bridges is a fine choice for New Mexico within that limitation. But if it was just the best player, then you'd have to go with the ABA G.O.A.T., Mel Daniels.
At least the Philly skyscraper is the greatest player out of philly also, it makes sense that Howard is doing all those things or did I didn’t know him from Atlanta. It makes sense now.
From the highlights Bill Russell was the 1st Big to take it off the glass and run his own fast brake... i also see the size up from the perimeter to dunk highlight... Giannis before Giannis
Not a bad video, but there is no “NBA Hall of Fame”. It is the Naismith “Basketball Hall of Fame” and playing in the NBA is not criteria to be inducted.
@Oofbruh-hu8cl don't know who you're talking to, but 90% of people put him 3rd only people who don't are Celtics players/fans and just straight Kobe haters
@Oofbruh-hu8cl Bird and Magic, mate you are off your rocker, Kobe beats out either of them hands down, and Kareem had 1 shot that couldn't be stopped and that was it that is the only reason he is so high up that is why he was the leading scorer, and I'm a Lakers fan I'm just under no Illusions also if Kareem or Magic didn't have the other they would be nothing yet Kobe can put the team on his back and take them all the way much like 2 other great players.
@@lochlandoherty37 bird and magic were both better playmakers and rebounders. Larry was relative to Kobe at scoring, but better at playmaking and rebounding while Kobe was better on defense. Magic was a far better playmaker and rebounder, and Kobe was better at scoring and on defense. Kareem was better at scoring and rebounding. They’re equal defensive players and I’d say Kobe is a slightly better playmaker. Longevity wise, Kareem would slightly edge out Kobe in my opinion, but I could see Kobe taking that. All around, Kobe is not the 3rd greatest player of all time. Personally, he lacks the playmaking and rebounding. In my opinion, he’d be around 7 or 8th, either one above or one below Tim Duncan. However, he is not top 3 as a basketball player. Most inspirational? Sure. Best mentality? Pretty obvious. But best basketball player? No.
Kareem's a great choice, but Michael Jeffrey Jordan was born in Brooklyn New York, he moved to North Carolina as a toddler. Idk if Steph is better than Jordan, but he would make a better choice for North Carolina if Jordan is accredited with being born in NY.
KY = Dan Issel hands down. I’d pick Pat Riley and Wes Unseld over Cowans. King Kelly Coleman is the best high school prospect to come out of KY. He set records that still stand.
