#11 Dunbar High School (Baltimore, Md.) – 9 Players
It is hard to think of many schools producing two NBA players from the same class year. Three is almost unheard of. Having four such players is a unique claim only Paul Laurence Dunbar High School can claim.
Dunbar High School
At the beginning of the 80s, the squad featured four budding professionals, Muggsy Bogues and Reggie Lewis. Throughout two years, the Dunbar Poets were indomitable, winning a couple of state championships and a national one. This period of Dunbar sportsmanship was portrayed within the ESPN movie, called “Baltimore Boys”.
Baltimore has continued to develop sterling NBA stars from then onwards, such as Sam Cassell, who shared a classroom with late rap legend Tupac Shakur for a year.

#12 Maine Central Institute (Pittsfield, Maine) – 9 Players
No one could have guessed that a Maine boarding school could end up as a leader in basketball. Not one single other school in Maine has developed an NBA player, with Maine Central Institute pumping out all nine players.
Maine Central Institute
Maine is solely renowned for its capacity to boost the academic performances of post-graduates, not to mention potential basketball champion performances.
Brad Miller and Caron Butler, both All-Stars, proceeded through this path prior to bringing their skills to college, with the NBA after.
Apparently, no one else is capable of walking in their shoes. Maine sadly ditched its post-graduate basketball program in 2012, not a single graduate having been registered in the NBA from 2002 onwards.
