Tigersteve44 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 (edited) There has been plenty of NBA players who started their carrers in our great state. But which Tennessee High School has been the starting point for most? In addition to naming the school, please name the players.

Tigersteve44 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Ok, no takers huh? Let me put it another way. Which school can claim more than Memphis Treadwell? Hank McDowell Andre Turner Elliot Perry Penny Hardaway Note: Melrose fans don't say Larry Finch and Ronnie Robertson because they were drafted by the NBA, but played for the ABA.

Tigersteve44 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 I think Memphis Booker T. Washington can make a claim. Lorenzen Wright Did Lorenzen's father attend BTW? He played in the NBA The guard for the Memphis Grizzles (He played for the University of Memphis) Also, I think Memphis Hamilton can make a claim.

Mojo20 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 No school in the state can claim more NBA players per capita than Middleton High School. Bailey Howell who starred in the 60's and is in the NBA Hall of Fame, Steve Hamer who starred in the 90's and like Howell played with the Boston Celtics. And according to the late Al McGuire, CBS analyst and former Marquette coach, Bobby "National" Parks was bound to have been a first round pick in the Mid 80's coming from Dana Kirks Memphis State Tigers. A great history for a small rural single A high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, I'm talking about the total number of players and you named two with one possible. Nice try. (Note: Bobby Parks was one of my favorate Tigers. (As in my handle Tigersteve, Memphis State University Class of '86.) Edited February 18, 2006 by Tigersteve44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
