ACC fans have long understood that Kinston, NC, population 21,6777 in the last census, is an amazing basketball town.
Among the players who have come out of Kinston are Cedric Maxwell, Charles Shackleford, Jerry Stackhouse, Reggie Bullock, Tony Dawson and of course former Blue Devil Brandon Ingram (non-basketball notables include actress Jamie Pressley and funk legends Maceo and Melvin Carter).
Apparently in the real world one person in 10,00 makes it to the NBA.
At Kinston High, one out of every 52.7 players who make the varsity also make the NBA.
Well now there’s going to be a documentary about this extraordinary basketball talent bed.
