You could write this article about a lot of places.
"Paul Pierce walked in the gym, then nodded to Blake Griffin, who then nodded to Baron Davis, who then nodded to Russell Westbrook, who then nodded to Trevor Ariza, who then nodded to Andre Miller. All of them grew up competing on the Los Angeles basketball circuit."
"How odd it is that Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Jermaine O'Neal would end up playing for the same team. They had spent much of their early days playing against each other in South Carolina AAU tournaments."
"Derrick Rose was out to prove that he, not Dwyane Wade, was the best NBA player from the South Side of Chicago."
As you can see based on last year's bracket, the nation's top teams come from everywhere, including Knoxville, Atlanta, Orlando, Spartanburg, SC and Hartford, CT.
And as seen here, the top high school programs range from Henderson, NV to Jersey City to Plano, TX. There's no one Metro that consistently outperforms all others in basketball (with the exception of NYC, but that's because it's bigger than many states).

See how easy that was?
But they didnt, they chose to write about PG county. and its ESPN so if they feel like PG is the number 1 hotbed for talent im goin to take their word on it. They didnt even mention most the players.
And congrats to Thomas Robinson, DC dude drafted 5th last nite

While PG County is obviously one of the hot beds of Basketball talent in the Country (I think it is impossible to pick a consensus #1), i wouldn't take ESPN's word as fact. They are a publicly traded company that is out to make money, and nothing else; and a story around PG County, a county the average White Person has probably never heard of, is a far more interesting story than saying NYC or Chicago or LA is the #1 Basketball hotbed, that wouldn't be interesting since they are obvious choices.
Memphis / Mid South Region more so than the bottom three on this list.
