00:00all right let's have some fun coming up on the 250th birthday of the united states
00:07so david has put together a list of 250 united states something or another we'll know by the
00:14music david oh very regal my fellow americans yes we are celebrating 250 on saturday i'm glad
00:26you're not a politician so si put together a list they did every state here and the greatest
00:33athletes from each state so let me give you how they did this based on where they attended high
00:40school a primary residence as a child if an athlete did not attend high school or their home school
00:46whatever and so it's not necessarily where they were born but where they show flashes of greatness
00:56so you want to throw out a state here of where you think the greatest athletes in america come from
01:02greatest athletes in america david go by population i'm gonna go texas
01:10texas he stole mine texas is on my list because i think this list of athletes is amazing
01:18simone biles patrick mahomes cheryl swoops shaquille o'neal and clayton kershaw i forgot
01:25about shack from texas right see i didn't realize shack was see shack see that's why i said not
01:31necessarily where you were born because he moved from place to place his father was in the military
01:35right so when he started high school i think his sophomore year he was in texas so he started
01:40showing signs of greatness and they put him in texas i'm gonna go where i went to junior high
01:46high school and college and where my parents still reside spring training home with the detroit tigers
01:52lakeland florida let's go with the state of florida as the best athletes florida is on my list for what
01:59i think this list is great here okay deon sanders oh emmett smith deuce deuce steve carlton
02:07oh chris evert and ray lewis oh that's pretty good i think we just beat texas i don't know sorry
02:15texas i don't know about that we got a shack yeah that's true like the avengers we got a hulk
02:21we got
02:21a shack you got a shack florida's doing pretty well though man uh california is what i'm thinking next
02:29california is also on my list i think and i went through every state here okay i think california
02:36has the greatest list of five athletes they just list five for each state but this five you can't
02:42top so it's like a mount rushmore plus one yeah okay you can't top it tom brady oof serena williams
02:47tiger woods jackie robinson and bill russell you can't top that state that's a great choice rico
02:56vince carter is giving you the it's over right now and that's just five you can name so many more
03:02great athletes from that state who you had to cut i think is interesting five again brady tom brady
03:09russell serena williams tiger woods jackie robinson yeah i must say yeah okay now obviously i think
03:16florida texas three goats on there i think florida texas and california are the easy three if you had
03:23to go with a fourth my guess david because i just the recruits so many recruits maryland dc
03:30you feeling me as a number four state maryland was also on my list there you go i think it's
03:37one of
03:37the greatest list here you got babe bruce oh ruf michael phelps katie ledecky kevin durant
03:45cal ripkin jr yeah but after after california that sounds like small fry it really does okay
03:51all right you know what i know it's not popular the state of ohio how dare you say that i
03:59did turn
03:59in your turn in your state colors i did not put that one on my list but they do have
04:04a decent list
04:05list lebron james jesse owens jack nicholas pete rose katie smith wait that's decent that's decent
04:14it has lebron in it so whatever okay and it's oh that's the greatest sense of decency i ever saw
