Emmitt. Nolan is close because of Ranger and Astros though. Not Earl, didn't play for Dallas.

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.

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.

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.
