Guest FishFanInPA Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mabdul Doobakus Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 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.

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.

Mabdul Doobakus Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I'd still give Eddie the edge, based on his longevity and versatility, including his great defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTMarlinsfan Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
