TL;DR

Made all-time hometown rosters with original 30 NBA teams + 25 new teams to split populated areas and big teams (spreadsheet + map)

Player Pool and Team Pool

I used the top 969 players who have at least 10000 minutes played in their career.

Why 10000 minutes played? Because that's the lower standard set by Basketball-Reference to get on their ABA career leaderboard (15000 MP for NBA). I added George Mikan, because even though he hasn't played enough minutes, he's featured in All-Time ESPN NBARank and Bill Simmons Hall of Fame Pyramid.

I started off with the current 30 teams. To split up the Lakers and Clippers, I gave the Clippers their proposed Inglewood site.

As I looked at the map of player hometowns, I realized that there were:

• some areas that had a lot of players, but few close NBA teams
• some areas that had bloated rosters with too many players

Based off city population and arena size, I added 25 new teams.

• I obviously had to give Seattle their team back
• Birmingham, North Little Rock and Shreveport helped to split up the South
• Pittsburgh and St. Louis were big cities without teams
• Berkeley added to siphon off San Francisco
  • if I add Oakland, it takes away too many players
• Anaheim and Westwood added in Southern California (Clippers & Lakers)
• Winston-Salem and Raleigh to pare down Charlotte
• Lansing to prune Detroit
• 2nd Atlanta team in suburb of College Park
• 2nd Washington team and Baltimore
• 2 more teams in Chicago (Rosemont and South Side) + a team in Gary
• 2nd Indiana team + Louisville & Lexington
• 2nd Philadelphia team in suburb of Wynnewood
• 3 more teams in the New York Area (Newark, Queens and Long Island)

The Method

I started off gathering hometowns due to this fantastic database by Reuben Fischer-Baum ([original article source here](https://deadspin.com/infographics-where-do-pro-basketball-players-come-from-5132615

How the South Carolina House got to 'yes'

By BEN SCHRECKINGER 07/08/2015 Updated 07/09/2015

>With sandy-blond hair and blue eyes, Quinn, 50, is the picture of a good ol’ boy. He’s the descendant of four Confederate veterans, two killed in action, and a proponent of flag removal. He’s the son of Lindsey Graham adviser Richard Quinn, who once edited the neo-Confederate Southern Partisan magazine, and he is also an old friend of Clementa Pinckney, the Democratic state senator and minister who was one of nine black churchgoers slain in Charleston in June, allegedly, by a white supremacist, an attack that put the flag back in the national spotlight.

US Department of Justice- Kevin Marsh Sentencing

>United States District Judge Mary Lewis sentenced Marsh to 24 months in federal prison, to be followed by a three-year term of court-ordered supervision.  There is no parole in the federal system. Judge Lewis also imposed a fine of $200,000. Under the terms of his plea agreement, Marsh paid $5 million in federal forfeiture prior to his sentencing.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Here is my take on the 2nd best player for every title team going back to 1970:

Obviously some of these were much harder than other. I did 0 research when putting Kobe and Pippen and the number 2 player on their teams. On the other hand, I spent way too much time on pretty much every Spurs team had at least 2 players that had legit arguments for being the 2nd best guy. Overall, I forced myself to pick just one player, even though there were situation like the 1980 Lakers were it was a true 1A/1B combo. For the most part I jus

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Here are Coleman's career stats. There is nothing special about his stats, but his bread and butter was defense. He was a 6-ft-8 PF drafted in the 3rd round out of Houston Baptist University in 1973 by the newly local Rockets, and he made the squad by focusing on defense since the team was already great offensively. He made a name for himself that rookie season as a defensive specialist off the bench, and he was subsequently snapped up by the New Orleans Jazz in the 1974 Expansion Draft. Coleman stayed with NO for 3 seasons, the longest tenure of the 17 players picked by the Jazz in that draft. He remained a big-time defensive force with the Jazz and was named 1st-team All-Defense in 1977, the first season after the NBA-ABA merger, and his basketball card at that time said:

> E.C.'s ability to play both small and power forward slots gives Jazz an added dimension on defense. He has guarded such as George McGinnis, Elvin Hays, & Spencer Haywood, keeping each under their scoring average. E.C. has great hustle & aggressiveness.

Coleman and Bobby Jones had just replaced John Havlicek and Paul Silas as the 1st-team All-D forwards (Hondo and Silas were 1st-team together in both '75 and '76, but they were 36 and 33 in the '77 season), so Coleman was gaining some real notoriety. Free agency had just begun in 1976, and 1977 was the first summer of several big signings. Here are the most notable free agent signings that year: the Bullets signed Bobby Dandridge, the Sonics signed Gus Williams, the Lakers signed Jamaal Wilkes, the Jazz signed Truck Robinson, the Braves signed Wil Jones, the Knicks signed Jim Cleamons, and the Warriors signed Coleman. He went to the Warriors, remained a feared defender, and earned a 2nd-team All-Defense selection; Maurice Lucas was selected to the 1st-team over him. His basketball card after that season said:

> It was at New Orleans that E.C. emerged as a solid rebounder and an excellent defender. The Jazz called upon him to play opponents' top-scoring forward or big guard.

Coleman then stopped playing only 6 games into the next season at

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

As all of you should know, it's 9/11. We all know what happened in 2001, but in 2011, there was a planned second terrorist attack, this time via our railroads instead of airlines. This 2011 attack was halted by the assassination of Osama Bin Laden by American forces on May 2nd, 2011.

I have anxiety of terrorism happening, so today's gonna be a bit tough for me, since it's 9/11 in a 20X1 year. The presence of America's brave officers always being around really helps me get through it, knowing they're there to protect me.
