http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1166094/1/index.htmThis
is a great article about how almost all of the players produced out of
Seattle has a great tie to its community and has NBA players mentor and
groom younger players in the city.
My question is, how common
is this? I know Seattle isn't on top in terms of producing talent to
the NBA, but how common is it for players elsewhere to consistently
come back and do so much good for young guys and represent the city so
hard?
Just wanted thoughts/comments/stories from other parts
of the world about this. And the article is lengthy, but worth the
read.
