Ralph Sampson and Len Bias come to mind. They are not from DC metro but they were from the vicinity. AI and Alonzo Mourning comes from the Virginia coast but are definitely tied to DC.

Other players from DC metro: Dave Bing, Sherman Douglas, Adrian Dantley, Roy Hibbert, Johnny Dawkins, John Thompson. No bona fide superstar but all are big names and influential figures in basketball.

Other suburban DC guys: Steve Francis, Victor Oladipo, Derek Whittenburg, Dell Curry
