7. Ohio

Win Shares: 601.2

We all know that LeBron James is the king of Ohio.

The kid from Akron has posted 203.4 win shares in 13-plus seasons and has blossomed into the NBA's biggest superstar. He has, among many other accolades, four MVPs, three Finals MVPs and three NBA championships to his legacy.

As you can imagine, it's basically LeBron and then everyone else. But, at the top of the rest is John Havlicek, who earned 131.7 win shares in his 16-year Hall of Fame career. He was a 13-time All-Star and won 8 league championships in his many years in Boston.

At 98.4 win shares, Hall of Fame big man Jerry Lucas is a distant third. All the same, Lucas was a one-time champion and a seven-time All-Star in his relatively short 11-year run in the league.
