It's not funny. I thought that Pachulia was Georgian for a long time. I was shocked when I realised he was black.

....I can only assume he thought Pachulia was born in Georgia - USA

Hilarious!! I don't know if this stuff was programmed or automated, but that's really funny!!

Notice, by the way, how a great majority of the domestic NBA players are from the Eastern half of the US.

So you think all this locations appeared just instantly without human assistance ? Google crated it?

...it is hard to imagine how much time he spent to mark all locations

I think this thing retrieves such information without human assistance

When I red the post name I imagined the map exactly like it is. It is very interesting map and it is hard to imagine how much time he spent to mark all locations

Nice ideia, it certainly provides a clearer view of where each team's players come from. Just one thing that intrigues me, if you choose the Hawks, I can only assume he thought Pachulia was born in Georgia - USA

Here is a link to a really cool map that shows where all NBA players were born. This guy created a map from 1947 and one this year.

The map takes a long time to load for me.
