Indiana or Kentucky about equally in my mind (assuming we are talking non-NBA basketball).  Indiana in a push.

I don't really care but I want attention.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Indiana.  Larry Legend is from there.

Not a state, but I say New York City.

The Indiana / Kentucky / Kansas spiritual homeland concept is the heart of the Hoosiers movie--small town white America in love with hoops at the grassroots level. The culture of the sport has shifted to be much more urban. I think the current spiritual homeland are the urban playgrounds, and streetball is no more famous than in NYC.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Wyoming obviously.  With the 1934 Helms Championship and the 1943 NCAA (and Red Cross against NIT champs St Johns) Titles the real question is what is the other spiritual home?
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

As per pre-marriage treaty, they are mine for football. For basketball, she gets their loyalty.

The kids are more soccer than anything else. Since you basically run around and punch other kids down and kick the ball into their faces.
