    side note....
    I would like to see some type of research comparing the number of basketball courts in certain cities...
    NY has mad courts, every school/park has a court...
    other places I've lived including NC have very few courts...

    Why would a city in NC have as many or more courts than a city that has more people in it than the whole state of North Carolina does??? C'mon, bruh.

    NY got more toilets than any other city except for maybe Hong Kong -- does that mean they're the shittin' mecca of the world? lol.

    And I've lived and travelled all over this country and I've never seen a school or park without a basketball court. #kanyeshrug.

And usually puts an ass whoopin on Duke, UNC, and any other team u can think off.. smh.. But you dont hear me though..

    I really thought NY'ers were joking all these years trying to claim Michael Jordan...he lived there for what, 2 months of his life and always claims North Carolina as his home, but he's from NY? that's the arrogance of NY'ers that annoys the ? out of people

    Thats b/c NY is the "Self-proclaimed" mecca of basketball you can ask any New Yorker their the best at everthing. They have alot of tournaments for the youth out there but You should when you have 10 million ppl in one city. And these basketball prodigys they had never lived up. Anywhere from Telfair, Lenny Cooke(who supposedly was betta than Bron), Omar Cook, Kenny Anderson(great in college but bottomed out in the NBA).
    NEW RULE: if your nba team hasn’t won a championship in 37 years, your city hasn’t had an ncaa division one champion in 60 years, and if seattle f*cking washington is currently producing more relevant nba players than you are, you can no longer refer to yourself as “the mecca of basketball”

    Damn the bolded ipitimizes wat this thread is about ya'll haven't done anything special recently to be sayin ya'll run ? in basketball point blank period

    Connecticut is not part of new york state you reachin and it shows how desperate you are

    NYC is trash accept it and stop cryin ya'll wack in every aspect of ball currently just like in hip hop besides 50 the whole city trash.

    New york is old news ya'll were relevant in the early to mid 90's that was 15-20 years ago

    And the knicks are not close to winning no title they just let go donnie walsh go and you have 2 overrated ball stopping stars who have max contracts the rest of the roster is a joke I didnt know finally makin the playoffs for the 1st time in 7 years wit a 42-40 record and gettin swept was 'close' to winning a title

    ? outta here new york aint no mecca never was and never will be ya'll are the welcome mats of basketball if anything

    Wake the ? up and google it or something. Connecticut is part of NY whether you want to believe it or not. I'm not gonna sit here and agrue something that is FACT. 2nd, I agree NY isn't the mecca anymore, not that I really give a ? anyway but there is no Mecca anymore basketball is too global. And third, I'm starting to think a Knick player ? or ? you girl with how emotional you get over the Knicks. Get over yourself Chicago will always be #2 as a city. ? that #3.

    GTFOH There would be no need 2 argue because its not a fact get your map out. Conn. is next to New York but they are 2 different states. And Sorry I dont belive it. There is something called a stateline just b/c its s small state doesnt mean NY owns it lol SMH
