^^^^^ That.
Plus, nobody gives as much of a ? about streetball as New Yorkers do. Anywhere else -- nobody gives a ? about you unless you did damage in ORGANIZED ball. Yet NY ? would put "Skip to my lou" ahead of Isaiah Thomas, lol. -

Na homie. Thats were it became popular. Thats were ? were first dunking. doing no look passes, having crazy handles. They were dunking before the players in the NBA were. They were breaking ankles when cats in the NBA were barley dribbling. They modernized the game. -

Half the NFL is populated by players from Texas and Florida, bruh, and most of the good ones. lol. New Yorkers might "prefer" basketball over football, but in the south it ain't a "preference" it's just ? tradition -- religion even.
And I know a couple cats from Buffalo and quite a few cats from NY -- and to be honest -- Buffalo ? should never take up for NYC ? , 'cause NYC ? ? on upstate and non-NYC New York ? almost as much as they ? on southerners and midwesterners. lol.
Yea u right ? from NYC is some hating ass ? and if it wasn't for Upstate NY would be a bankrupt ? but thats for another thread but I'll give credit where its due -
NY basically birthed other B-ball players swagger,all that ? you see Derrick Rose and John Wall doing Rafer Alston was doing @ age 15 to grown men.
Dr.J reinvented dunking(I dare you to argue that,even Jordan has said this)
Rafer"skip to my lou"Alston along with Pistol Pete and Bob Cousy changed ballhandling forever
Kareem changed the center position was unguardable,and won @ every level
