Posted January 2, 200718 yr I want everyone to pick four players...one from Football, Baseball, Basketball and misc (boxing, hockey, any other sport) and they must have been born there...then we're gonna have a tournament to see whose the best... For example, I'm reppin Philly and mine are Football: Marvin Harrison Basketball: Wilt Chamberlain or Kobe Baseball: Reggie Jackson Miscellaneous: Smokin Joe Frazier Miami football-Michael Irvin/Derrick Thomas basketball- Eddie Jones baseball- Alex Rodriguez misc- Chris Evert
January 2, 200718 yr Miami football-Michael Irvin/Derrick Thomas basketball- Eddie Jones baseball- Alex Rodriguez misc- not one that comes to mind...
January 2, 200718 yr Miami football-Michael Irvin/Derrick Thomas basketball- Eddie Jones baseball- Alex Rodriguez misc- not one that comes to mind... hmmm...Chris Evert? She was born in Ft. Lauderdale, technically. I wonder if we can do better than Eddie Jones in basketball. Or better in football even.
January 2, 200718 yr ill say Udonis Haslem in basketball What about eddie jones? Isnt he from miami? yeah... like i said ill go with Udonis :lol eddie's from Broward actually but close enough. i like eddie jones, dont get me wrong but i hated him and that contract (its not my money but it f***ed us up with the cap) and i do like Haslem more.
January 2, 200718 yr I'd still give Eddie the edge, based on his longevity and versatility, including his great defense.
January 2, 200718 yr Roswell/Alpharetta/Marrietta, GA Football: Jermaine Phillips Baseball: Todd Jones/Jeremy Hermida basketball: Shareef Abdur-Rahim other: The Armstrong family of wrestlers... as far as baseball goes...Marietta is home to East Cobb Baseball...MANY MLB players have played there I belive including Hermida. Marietta seems to be a baseball/basketball/and football hotbed for some reason.
January 2, 200718 yr Davenport, IA NFL: Roger Craig NBA: Ricky Davis UFC: Pat Miletich Boxing: Michael Nunn (lol) :mischief

January 3, 200718 yr Pittsburgh Football: tie between Dan Marino and Tony Dorsett (although Marino gets the edge for actually BEING from the City) Baseball: Honus Wagner Hockey: Ryan Malone (because I can't think of anyone else) Basketball: Pete Maravich Coaching: Bill Cowher Wrestling: Kurt Angle (Bruno Sammartino was born in Italy and could thus not be included) Track: John Woodruff (Jesse Owens's teammate at the 1936 Olympics)
