Mayo has done very well and has made a lot of Maine basketball fans proud. California followed by Texas produce the most native born sons that play in the NBA. The reason is pretty obvious, population. By per capita they both pale in comparison to Washington D.C. or distant second, Louisiana . The reason is obvious in those regions as well, basketball is a way of life for kids there. Very few other options, poverty surviving single family moms aren't taking their sons on vacations to Europe or mountain ski resorts. I think it is great these impoverished kids take their game to a level where they can earn athletic scholarships to colleges and universities. However, if the goal is only to make it to a fat multi million dollar contract in the NBA it is like most of us playing powerball expecting to win the jackpot. I would certainly support any player's decision to play a pro sport for money ,however small , if they were given a chance. Hope they would know when to hang it up as a few people i have known when they realized they had gone as far as they could.
