The city of Jefferson City in Mid-Missouri has produced a few basketball legends during the 21st century.

It starts with Maya Moore, who was born in Jefferson City before moving to Georgia, where she became a high school star. She became a Hall of Famer after a stellar collegiate career at UConn and a spectacular WNBA career with the Minnesota Lynx.

Moore was followed by Napheesa Collier, who was born in Jefferson City before moving to St. Louis as a high school sophomore and becoming a McDonald’s All-American at Incarnate Word. Like Moore, she was also a star collegiate player at UConn and a current WNBA star for the Minnesota Lynx. She is well on her way to the Hall of Fame.

On Wednesday night, Jefferson City native OG Anunoby had his legendary moment in historic Madison Square Garden. Anunoby was one of the biggest stars in the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history as his New York Knicks rallied from a 29-point deficit to stun the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4.
