Five NBA Stars that Hail from San Antonio
Published: June 1, 2021
When basketball fans think of talent factories, places like New York, Chicago and Philadelphia typically come to mind. They think of the asphalt at Harlem’s Rucker Park or the hardwood of Philadelphia’s Palestra.
But they should also think of the gyms at Wagner and Cole High Schools in San Antonio. Indeed, any list of America’s best basketball towns ought to include the 210 area code. That’s because, over the years, San Antonio has consistently proven itself to be one of the best pound-for-pound producers of basketball talent in the country. Nearly 25 current or former NBA or WNBA players were born in San Antonio or hail from the city including a handful of legitimate superstars in both the professional and collegiate ranks. So, if the basketball towns of America were facing off on the hardwood, here’s the all-stars who would make our starting five.
When it’s time to place a call to Texas singer/songwriter/guitarist Dub Miller at the appointed interview time, a recording says that the number is unavailable. He quickly calls back about 30 seconds later, but wonders aloud if others calling him get the same message. “It could be Willie Nelson calling to record a duet and you’d miss it!” I offer. But it turns out, that’s not too crazy a thought.
Miller recalls how he was booked for a show years ago by Pat Butler, whose husband songwriter/producer Larry Butler was a running buddy of Nelson’s back in day. He also produced massive hits for Kenny Rogers and co-wrote with Chips Moman the B.J. Thomas hit “(Hey Won’t You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song.”
