Who’s the most beloved athlete in your state?

Emmitt. Nolan is close because of Ranger and Astros though. Not Earl, didn't play for Dallas.
You would think a football crazy state like Texas would have more than one pro team

patrick Ewing for Massachusetts? I would think Mike Eruzione or Jim Craig before him.
 
If we were talking famous, I would probably say Sayers or Terrence Crawford.

But beloved... it's gotta be Osborne.
 
Mass has to either be Brady or some hockey player

if not born there it’s either Brady or David Ortiz. Both are equally loved and revered.

if born there it’s gotta be one of the US Olympic hockey players. It’s been 40 years and they STILL love those guys.

It’s most beloved IN the state, not FROM.
 
yeah… I got that. I think the list I cited talked about players born there but I could have that wrong.
That was a dumb list. Jackie Robinson for Georgia, he went to school at UCLA and played for the Dodgers, of course he’s well respected for what he did, but he’s not near Hank Aaron status in the state
 
Probably Patty Mahomes and slowly shifting to George Brett the older the person is that you're asking.
