Representin’
February 18, 2007 10:21 pm by donaldWhile sitting on my couch watching the NBA All-star game and thinking about how MuWarrior92 of Cracked Sidewalks is living it up in Vegas, I realized…wow, there are a lot of Big East players in this game. So I ran the stats..and (drumroll please)…
More conclusive evidence that the Big East is the best conference in the land. The stats are:
- Big East (6): Caron Butler, Richard Hamilton, Dwyane Wade, Ray Allen, Carmelo Anthony, Allen Iverson.
- ACC (5): Chris Bosh, Vince Carter, Carlos Boozer, Tim Duncan, Josh Howard.
- The World (4): Dirk Nowitzki, Mehmet Okur, Tony Parker, Yao Ming
- Pac-10 (2): Gilbert Arenas, Jason Kidd
- Big 12 (1): Chauncey Billups
- Mountain West Conference (1): Shawn Marion
- West Coast Conference (1): Steve Nash
- SEC (1): Shaquille O’Neal
And…of course, the college to go to if you want to go the pros…is the School of Hard Knocks (i.e. no college whatsoever) with seven All-stars: Dwight Howard, Lebron James, Jermaine O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady, Amare Stoudemire.

Fascinating post.
Should C-USA get credit for Wade?
The lack of players from certain “elite” colleges is kind of interesting. Vince Carter is the only UNC alum. Duke’s “talent” has generally disappointed in the pros, but the fact that Boozer is their only alum comes to me as a shock. Of course, a certain Brand of player was inexplicably left off the West’s roster. Kansas grads? Nope, only a Buffalo from the Big 12. Zero players from the Big Ten is … well, not that surprising. UCLA, none.
Only two schools have more than one All-Star: UConn and Wake Forest.
I agree — Wade never played in the Big East. Great rundown, though, especially showing high schoolers leading the way.
[…] By the way, did you get the memo about the Big East having more NBA all-stars than any other conference? […]
Sorry
Nice!
