Being one of the newest schools on this list, Flint Northwestern was established in 1964, before it shut down in 2018, winning two state championships during the junior and senior seasons of the triple NBA All-Star Glen Rice. The school excelled at not only training NBA-worthy players but produced men who went on to have full careers within the NBA. Their total of six players enjoyed a career at the NBA spanning an average of 8.1 seasons, with Rice being one of four other players from Flint Northwestern who had 9 seasons in the NBA.

#40 Canton McKinley High School (Canton, Ohio) – 6 Players

Other than Canton’s place as host to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, this city also rubs shoulders with basketball prestige, with Canton McKinley High School achieving unmatched renown as a ‘star factory’. McKinley makes the most out of its peak positioning for all-time wins in Ohio and possesses the record for featuring in championship matches – an unmatched eleven times. Between 1973 and 2008, at least one of the school’s students became an NBA player, with some seasons having even more. Although Canton McKinley hasn't produced an NBA player for more than ten years, this losing streak could end with its acquisition of Timken High School, making McKinley the sole public high school within Canton, awarding it the pick of the litter regarding all potential candidates who aren’t in private schooling.
