Drop the top 5 athletes from the locale where you grew up...

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Yogi Berra
Jackie Joyner-Kersee (East Side, but still)
Sonny Liston
Spinks Boxing Family
Kellen Winslow (East Side, but still)

Honorable Mention: Larry Hughes, Jahidi White (my cousin so I had to throw him in there ), Jo Jo White (played for Celtics in the 70s), Bob Petit (well maybe he should be in top 5), David Lee, Ryan Howard.

what about darius miles & nelly?

Darius Miles never reached his potential. He could have, but it just didn't work out for him for one reason or another.

Nelly was supposed to be a good athlete, does well on celebrity basketball games I guess. But of course not on some professional athlete level. He's one of the biggest stars/entertainers to come from the Lou though.
