Answer 1

it's definitely Oakland, CA. a lot of great ballers have come from the Bay Area.

PS: isn't Paul Pierce from Inglewood, CA??

Answer 2

Before i even opened this question up i was thinking the same as you Oakland California. Along with russel, kidd, payton, and hook mitchel (The Legend). I seen a thing on him where all the NBA players say that he was better than all of them untill he got in trouble.  

Here are some more players that either lived or born in Oakland:

-Paul Silas (Legendary Player and coach)

-Isaiah Rider (Former NBA Slam Dunk Champ)

-Antionio Davis (Solid NBA big man

-Drew Gooden

-Cliff T. Robinson

-Nate Williams

-Brian Shaw

I think this is the best basketball city in the world no matter what population.

Answer 3

Pierce is from Inglewood
