Utah: Tom Chambers
Tom Chambers completed the Utah trifecta. Born in Ogden, he went on to star for the Utah Utes at the collegiate level and eventually made his way to the Utah Jazz for a two-season stint toward the tail end of his career.
Chambers' best years came for the Seattle SuperSonics and Phoenix Suns as he earned four All-Star appearances and a pair of All-NBA Second Team nods thanks to his all-around scoring acumen. Given that the rest of the 27 players from the state have combined for a grand total of zero All-Star bids, he's the easy choice.

Vermont: DNP
Vermont remains the only state without any NBA representation.
Jim McCaffrey, born in Rutland City, was selected by the Phoenix Suns in the sixth round of the 1986 NBA Draft, but he never suited up in a game. Keith Cieplicki and his Burlington birth certificate became a seventh-round pick of the Los Angeles Lakers one year earlier. Same story.
Alas, the Green Mountain State still awaits its first NBA success story.
Virginia: Moses Malone
In this particular situation, the answer is Moses Malone and The Answer is the leading runner-up.
Malone was one of the most physical players in NBA history, excelling during a time when the league operated at a slower pace and he could remain in near-perpetual contact with an overmatched opponent. He remains one of the best rebounders ever, thrived on both ends of the floor en route to three MVPs and the 1983 title, and should be remembered as one of the 25 best players the NBA has ever witnessed — a slight tier above where Iverson's per-pound excellence and offensive flair land.
Honorable mentions: Bob Dandridge, Allen Iverson, Alonzo Mourning
Washington: John Stockton
Even if Brandon Roy had avoided the injuries that ran rampant throughout his career, he'd have been fighting an uphill battle to supplant John Stockton as the leading Washington product. Stockton was born in Spokane and remained there through the completion of his amateur career at Gonzaga, but he was only just getting started.
Over the course of 19 memorable seasons with the Utah Jazz, Stockton established himself as one of the greatest passers the NBA has ever featured. He led the Association in assists per game for nine consecutive seasons en route to a career tally of 15,806 that's unfathomably far ahead of the rest of the field. (Oh, and he's also the leader in career steals for good measure.)
Heading into the 2026-27 campaign, only 245 players have 3,000 career assists. Stockton is more than 3,000 assists clear of the second-place Chris Paul.
Honorable mentions: Brandon Roy, Jason Terry, Isaiah Thomas
