This year's two new NBA hires (Ben Taylor and Steve Anderson) both live in Orlando. Ben moved to Orlando after completing college in Tennessee. I have heard that a couple of other NBA guys have lived in Atlanta for a time as young officials in order to be in a "hot bed" area.
Hope this helps.

This idea has come up before. If you have great year round basketball in a densely populated area it is going to feed the HS/Colleges and provide a lot of good ball to improve your skills on. Thanks Chris.
