41 SEC Players On NBA Rosters
 
The Southeastern Conference maintains its strong presence in the NBA for the 2007-2008 season as 41 former players are on 21 of the 30 NBA teams on the opening day's rosters. Nine of the
12 SEC schools have former standouts holding roster spots at the
beginning of the league's 62nd season.
  
Florida and Kentucky top the list with 10 former players each on the rosters of 15 different NBA squads. Detroit has five former SECers on its team while Boston, Charlotte, Memphis, Miami, Minnesota and New York each have three former conference players on their rosters.
Bolstering the list of former SEC players, LSU has six former players in the league. The former Tigers have accumulated 29 years of NBA experience, led by Shaquille O'Neal who is in his 15th season and is currently playing for Miami.
 
Alabama is next in line with five former SEC players in the NBA. The former Crimson Tide players have accumulated 36 years of NBA experience, led by Robert Horry (San Antonio--15th
season) and Antonio McDyess (Detroit--11th season). Arkansas and South Carolina have three players while Georgia has two and Auburn and Mississippi State each have one.
In addition, the NBA lists 10 coaches who attended college at a current SEC institution. Pat Riley highlights the coaching list as the Kentucky graduate is Miami's head coach.
