There's no homegrown talent in the NBA man lol. Just OKC and the Spurs.

I was making the point that of that list Shaq won 3 titles with the Lakers and was out of his prime, Ray Ray was years out of his prime, and GP was playing on old man legs. That's like saying Jerry Rice is a Seahawk hall of famer and Ricky Henderson is a Mariners hall of famer.

Signed a kid to a contract at 17, still have him at 34 (damn, half his life!); that's pretty home grown.
But I think the NBA is harder to have homegrown talent. The sport is more individual than the other sports, so once your rookie contract runs up you are looking to sign for the big dollars and "test the market." Even Kobe did it in 2004. So you have less homegrown talent and more people putting money into proven players. Also I think the whole high school to NBA hurt too, because even if you build off the draft, there is a huge chance your pick who you are counting on, doesn't pan out because they are not mature enough to carry a team. (see Howard, Dwight) Also you only get two picks per draft, and usually if you are not in the top 10, you are not going to get elite talent. So if you are always winning and you want to build for the future, your best bet is to get talent for elsewhere because you are not drafting it yourself.
