basically if you are confused I'm asking which state has the most famous and successful people.
right now I think Pennsylvania has 3 (unless you can name more)
Kobe bryant
will smith
Taylor swift
Name some big people from your state!
Does this mean that the person just has to have the state on their birth certificate? Because Taylor Swift grew up in TN....
Also, do they have to be living?

Spike Lee - Die Hard Knicks Fan from Brooklyn (and making a movie called Crooklyn), Kanye West from Chicago (making a song called Chi City), and John Mayer reference Connecticut from time to time (John Mayer*SUPPORT FOR HAITI* | John Mayer Hecho En Connecticut T-Shirt*|*Shop the John Mayer Official Store)
