There are several sites that say the same dating back to 2000, these numbers are very easy to find


Bruh these freaking guys are random no names. You act like Louisiana is spitting out lebrons left and right. Also the second link is counting WNBA and that skews the numbers.

Is this counting people born in LA that moved and grew up in another state such as Georgia or Texas? Seems like it.

Nobody said anything about Lebron. You asked for the per capita numbers to back my statement and I provided them. Atlanta is the 11th ranked city in the country in terms of producing NBA talent. These are facts and if you think we need multiple Lebrons to compete then you’re unknowingly admitting McMahon can’t do the job.

Yes. It's an incredibly misleading stat. Only 6 active players in the NBA played high school basketball in the state of Louisiana and 3 of them went to LSU
