You know what ? that Tommy Milwaukee is part of Chicago now so is Indiana b/c its right next our Metro area are all we gotta do is go over the bridge. Yall be killem me
nah yall ? get madison, we keep milwaukee and we get rockford, ? trading cities out here lol -
If ppl wanna credit NYC for only street ball then cool....but lets not act like that "street ball" influence didnt give the NBA more flash and style...when you look at any 10 random highlights, id say at least 7 out of the 10 will have a nasty crossover in it...you can argue that these types of moves are street ball influenced
I didnt scroll thru the whole thread so i could be repetitive...but the question i ask is what did any other region in the US contribute to Basketball other than the players themselves? If NY contributed the street ball element, what did anything other state contribute equal to or better than that? -
Not really I just thought ? wasn't dumb enough to think that conneticut wasn't part of NY state
well put me in the special ed class next to the kid eatin paste cuz my ? thought conneticut was an independent state -

But to try n downgrade NY like if this rapper aint come from here or if this wasnt there n say that we would be the most irrelevant city in the world is ignorant..
1. Its the birthplace of Hip Hop
2. It is where you will find Wall Street
3. Has one of the higher populations in the country.
4. People leave their states and countries to come to NY for a fresh start.
5. I can go on and on and on..
At the end of the day just acknowledge that NYC deserves its Many Monikers... It isnt just something that the media made up.. Times have changed and the world is smaller due to the internet and other factors.. BUT that doesnt change history and the impact that New York City has had on Pop Culture and the world as a whole...
Stop switching topics ? , we talking basketball.......................and to keep it on topic
Take the ? L and keep it moving! -
some of yall need "i
to hate ny" shirts -

You thought it wouldn't when it would? That's the modern, young, black sports fan for ya. Here's a chart
U say: "The Eagles are good, but they need help on the O-line and defense"
A Young ignant Eagles/Philly fan hears: "Beanie Sigel and the Roots are garbage.... And ? cheese steaks."
U say: "NYC is NOT the mecca of basketball."
A young ignant Knicks/NY fan hears: "? the city of NY, east coast hip hop, the tri-state area, and I hope 9/11 happens again."
U say: "The Falcons look good this year."
A Young ignant sports fan hears: "The Yin Yang Twins and Gucci Mane are best thing to ever happen to hip hop."
? is hilarious and sad all at the same damn time. -

No need to google it I was a geography major Connecticut is NOT PART of new york state
If thats the case so is pennsylvania and jersey
I couldnt care less where chicago is ranked chi still ahead of ya'll in the rap game,relevance game and definitely the bball game
Nyc is currently like 9th or 15th as far as current relevance goes
Chi is ahead in rap too ??,doesn't a Chi ? (Kanye) work for a NY ? (Jay)?
but to continue with the thread premise NY'ers are also very knowledgeable of the game and LOYAL,when the Knicks were going through those Marbury years you still saw filled seats @ MSG
the United Center was looking less than full during those "baby bull" Elton Brand,Tyson Chandler years -

Bulls were top ten in attendance from 00-10 and right now are #1
http://espn.go.com/nba/attendance
check for yourself bulls fans are the most loyal in the nba
I dont care who works for who ny rappers are irrelevant and this comin from someone who bumps ny rappers more than any region
Its a fact kanye>>>>>jigga Right now
And I hate chi rappers they suck besides kanye
damn,point taken.The Cavs were third ??!!? wtf.but you see NY is sixth and they didn't have Melo half the season.The Bulls being #1 is to be expected D.Rose had an insane year.
New Yorkers are fanatical about basketball that's why it was considered the mecca and because of the trends they set,but there are other "hot spots" across the country, Chicago
of course,Indiana,DMV/DC(Barry Farms),Boston,Cali(venice beach,watts),Philly,Atlanta and NC etc etc -

Speaking of the real definition of Mecca -- by that definition, ATL is the BLACK SPORTS Mecca of the country simply because damn near every black athlete in the NFL and NBA has residence in ATL at some point even if they never played for any ATL squad.
Bet you a hunned bones your favorite athlete either lived, does live, or is about to live in ATL. So black athletes are literally going out of their way to MIGRATE to ATL -- which is the real definition of a "mecca".
Hell the Oakland ? ' Raiders had their "Lockout workouts" in ATL w/ the Falcons for no damn reason....
*Don't know how I feel about Campbell wipin' his wack juice on Matty like that. His average-ness might be contagious.
And we all know how the CS's favorite "? " Allen Iverson has been kickin' up dust in the A. And he has 0 connection to ATL.
Simply put, callin' any place a sports Mecca is a stretch unless there is solid evidence other than "I'm from there and I like it so.... yeah." -
the ? happened in here....? in Ny so desperate they still claiming Conn.? really??
and what the ? wall street and having the highest pop. got to do with anything?
yall ? reaching like mr. Fantastic......Ny aint ? , hasnt been ? in our lifetime and wont win ? in the near future......
-
ATL is the Mecca for Downlow ?
homie a few pages back asked me what GA has done for sports and told me we couldnt claim ATL. really? so NY can claim an entire diff. state but Ga cant claim its own city??......? losers....yall aint even go to class bueller!! -
ATL is the Mecca for Downlow ?
Co-sign. Just look at all these ATL ? gettin' caught with trannies and ? in their cars....
....Oh wait, they ain't from ATL, they're from.... -
lmao^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
this just in florida and jamacia are now part of GA
-
sboogie had the best argument in here...otherwise this is filled w a lot of hate and arrogance
-
Connecticut is part of what is called the Tri-State Area IDK wtf ? are speaking of in here.
As far as being the Makkah, a lot of NY's claims to anything are based on sheer numbers. Not saying that's bad or good, that's just why NY may get unjust due for certain things. -
.................some of y'all ? let your hate cloud reason and logic...
your ignorance is only cool around other ignoramuses... -
NY logic: if u disagree with us being the mecca....ur filled with hate.
-
I dnt think NY itself is the mecca of basketball, i think it refers to MSG the arena and its historical place in sports history
-
some of y'all ? let your hate cloud reason and logic...
your ignorance is only cool around other ignoramuses...
co-sign ur every post. It's a damn shame these fools completely do not get what the term actually means. And that copper whatever his name is...yeah it's hate
when historians,atheletes both present and past, facts , and logic all prove you wrong and you still in here asking why, or posting dumb questions. It's like dealing with a four year old who flat out do not wanna listen
no hate for southern katz..but the ones on this board have a problem with other regions...damn shame.ignorance is bliss....shows all through this thread.
and tommy i'm ashame of you homie...u be on point with your bball knowledge..i'm surprise you cosigning this garbage homie..
? missing the whole point..getting on marbury not realizing he was a legend who made it to the pros and for some time was one of the top guards...that;s all he needs. He has achieved some type of success.... SMH -
Lew Alcindor FTW!
