Kobe played ball outside of the suburbs of Philly in lower Merion he was born in west philly wynnefield section philly moved to Italy where his dad played overseas when he was around 10 or 11 then moved back and play for Lower Merion not to far from wynnefield on the main line
No flip Murray? No sat eye? No arron Owens? No JK47? No Pooh Allen? No cuttino Mobley ? I'm a philly basketball fan and never heard of some of these guys on your list
Jerome pooh Allen, he went to the league, created a cross over that was credited to god shamgod years later , had a great NCAA career with a ivy league school, and is a playground legend in philly yes pooh allen
Kobe is not from Philadelphia....Lower Merion....kind of close, not walking distance to the city....from the Philadelphia area, did not play in Phillly at any time except practices...maybe playgrounds?
You lost all credibility with the Staley selection. where in Andre McCarter - Jimmie baker ( Olny HS ) Mo Howard, - Michael Brooks and L Train ?? Jelly Bean ? Bad List
Kobe played in Sonny Hill if you know Philly basketball that means he from Philly regardless of where he played in high school and he played at 52nd and Parkside
Tee Parham replaces Kyle Lowry and Yolanda Laney, Marilyn Stephens and Linda goes in front of Dawn Staley. Dawn Staley is the most accomplished female basketball player out of Philadelphia, the other female basketball players weren't afforded the same opportunities. In high school and college they were great.
A six foot guard is not going to lead u anywhere. It's good pr for basketball to have guys of all sizes excelling. Trust me if Lowry had tried to make a layup in the 60s or 70s u wouldn't even foul him, just knock it down his throat. Kc Jones or Al styles prevent Gary Payton.
@@phillyhistoryfacts5757 it's really not a bold statement. Just ask anyone who knows basketball and they Will say the same. Sheed was the number 1 player in the country coming out of high school.
why do we have to be woke all the time. Dawn Staleyis not the third best basketball player to come out of philly. She isnt even the top 100. Can she beat wallace in a 1on 1 NOOOOO
4 Players on this list were just named to the NBA75 team!
What about Gene Banks from West Philly
he only played 6 seasons and never made an all star team

@@hardbody_yatti ok. When I hear “Pooh” I think Richardson (Ben Franklin, UCLA, Timberwolves).
@@johnmitchell2899 That's who think they're talking about.. Big ups for your Knowledge 👍🏽💯💯💯
Mike Gale
Kobe is not from Philadelphia....Lower Merion....kind of close, not walking distance to the city....from the Philadelphia area, did not play in Phillly at any time except practices...maybe playgrounds?
He went to Lasalle basketball camps, played in the sunny hill league, and his lower merion team played a few games at the palestra
HEEEEREE WEEEE ARRRRREEEE!!!!!
Kobe was born in West Philly, so yes he belongs on this list.
You lost all credibility with the Staley selection. where in Andre McCarter - Jimmie baker ( Olny HS ) Mo Howard, - Michael Brooks and L Train ?? Jelly Bean ? Bad List
Honorable mention, Jerome Pooh Richardson
"Sheed" should be #3
I don't know shit about bball and it's showed.... I'm like where's Dr J ? 😆
Hahaha
Dr J was from New York.
Kobe isn’t from Philadelphia he’s from lower Merion
No, actually he was born in Southwest Philly and lived their for a few years before moving to Lower Merion.
Hes from Philly. You dont know you dont know
Kobe played in Sonny Hill if you know Philly basketball that means he from Philly regardless of where he played in high school and he played at 52nd and Parkside
What about the Morris twins?
Kobe bryant not grom hilly
Yall Forgot About The MORRIS TWINS !!!!!
lmk know when either one makes an allstar team
Brian Shorter, period!
No Lionel Simmons?
Flip Murray
Can't forget about Flip Murray
How is dawn staley better than Rasheed wallace when dawn staley aint better than nobody that played in the nba? Make it make sense
Kobe not from Philly
& U Got Sheed At #8???😂😂😂😂😂🤨👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾 Yeahhh Aight
They should have the top ten n then Big Wilt
Wilt the goat
If Kobe’s on here then Rip Hamilton should be too.
Tee Parham replaces Kyle Lowry and Yolanda Laney, Marilyn Stephens and Linda goes in front of Dawn Staley. Dawn Staley is the most accomplished female basketball player out of Philadelphia, the other female basketball players weren't afforded the same opportunities. In high school and college they were great.
The only two to catch my eye was Kobe & Chamberlain,do NYC the best ballers
Kobe not from philly
A lady named Linda Owens from Dobbins high scored 100 points in a game. This would surpass Dawn Staley's playing stats in high school. school(?)
Lower Marion is not philly .. that's a whole different county .. I fucks with Kobe all day but he's not from Philly 😂💯
Billy Owens!!!!!!
A six foot guard is not going to lead u anywhere. It's good pr for basketball to have guys of all sizes excelling. Trust me if Lowry had tried to make a layup in the 60s or 70s u wouldn't even foul him, just knock it down his throat. Kc Jones or Al styles prevent Gary Payton.
Why would it matter probably woulda been more athletic and way better of a ball handler he would have easy shots everytime
Kobe ain't come out of Philly.
Yea lower merion Philly suburb
Actually, he did. Born in Southwest Philly. Moved to the burbs.
Sheed is better than Lowery.
bold statement but I like the hot take
@@phillyhistoryfacts5757 it's really not a bold statement. Just ask anyone who knows basketball and they Will say the same. Sheed was the number 1 player in the country coming out of high school.
Yup. But Sheed was toooooo unselfish. Sheed could have averaged 25 in the league.
@@phillyhistoryfacts5757 it's FACTUAL
Chubby Cox
why do we have to be woke all the time. Dawn Staleyis not the third best basketball player to come out of philly. She isnt even the top 100. Can she beat wallace in a 1on 1 NOOOOO
lmao woke. No shit she can't compete with men idiot. but she obviously has a better basketball mind then you
Kobe, is not a Philadelphian
Its funny how Philly tries to claim Kobe now lol... Yall aint want nothing to do with him back in the day. Booed him in one of his biggest moments
You really out Wilt over Kobe. SMDH
Here we are!
