Over at Ballhype, Jason created a Google Maps mashup that shows the birthplace of every NBA player. Is Seattle represented? Yes, oh yes.
Seven players are born in Seattle.
That, ladies and gentleman, is more than any single city north of Los Angeles (14) or west of Dallas (9).
San Francisco proper has as many NBAers (1--Jason Kidd) as Edmonds (Martell Webster). Ha! Eat our dust, Golden Gaters!
Overall, 10 NBAers were born in Washington state.

Definitely a strong showing for the 206. And it's nice to see an increasing number of them stay in the area for college.
Marvin Williams is the Bremerton-bron NBAer, in case you were curious.
Begs the question--in an area this size with only one Division 1 school--why isn't Husky basketball better?
