Mouth of Wilson, Virginia is home to a private school, Oak Hill Academy, with a very strong basketball program. Yeah, I had to look it up.

Really fun quiz. Would've liked to see some of the prominent players in the bonus info section instead of prominent high schools.

Jackson, MS has to be the best per capita, not including towns with private schools.

Pleasant surprise to Toledo on there. Our best ever was Jim Jackson who starred at Ohio State and played in Dallas a few other cities. Also had Dennis Hopson and Todd Mitchell in the 90's.

I'm always surprised by how many NBA players have come from the Seattle area. I'd also like to see the same quiz done by metropolitan area because a lot of kids from big cities don't go to school in their hometown but instead attend a private school in the metropolitan area.

But do the Oak Hill players actually attend school? I thought they pretty much just played ball.

Great quiz. Now I know where Mouth of Wilson is. Would have guessed Richmond for a VA city.

With the Kansas City ranking: Wyandotte and Sumner are in Kansas City, Kansas, whereas Central is in Kansas City, Missouri.
