I'm not sure you know what that data means. But in terms of NBA


players, here is the map. The data is clear that urban areas are supreme in producing NBA talent.

"Of all U.S.-raised players (Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands excluded), 81 percent came from what the census now calls "urbanized areas." (For players who played in the NBA during 2012-2013, this figure was 86 percent.) As for the the 2010 U.S. population as a whole, just 71 percent came from urban centers—basketball has always drawn significantly from urban populations."

So, could you be more wrong?
