He lived there when he played with the hornets. My parents used to see him all the time in the grocery store.

That list is stretching it. Drexler is from Baldwin, La. and claims Houston as his hometown. His Father still lives in Baldwin( if he's alive), so they may have made a typo on that on.

Kittles was born in Dayton, Ohio.
...wiki also lists New Orleans as Drexler's birth place.

Kerry Kittles played ball for St. Aug and was raised in NOLA, He from NOLA. As far as Clyde goes, if you ever ask him where is he from, he will say houston.

SJ>everyone else on that list

Had no idea Thad Young and Chris Quinn were born here.
Wish we could see a list of NBA players who grew up/from New Orleans.
Seems as if a lot of the guys that were born here moved out of the city soon after birth, don't really count them as New
Orleanians.
