There was an article a few years back highlighting how many NBA big men came from north Louisiana and how many are in the Basketball HOF.
Russell, Robert Parish, Willis Reed, Elvin Hayes, Karl Malone, Marques Johnson are all in the HOF.
Others include Antwan Jameson, Benoit Benjamin, Rashard Lewis, Will Frazier, Rod Higgins, Steve Jones, Bob Love, Paul Milsap, Calvin Natt, Woody Sauldsberry, Stromile Swift, Randy White, Orlando Woolridge.
This doesn’t even include guards such as Joe Dumars, Jimmy Jones, etc.
Pretty impressive list.
