Deron Williams: Doesn't feel like a New Yorker, likes going back to Utah, NYers think they're tough

[Inevitable Kobe Turnover]

Allegedly his wife and mother didnt want to leave Miami...

I'd have to see it to believe it. Most of those reports came from Dan Lebatard sooooo..

Its not that hard to believe that people would prefer to stay in Miami over Cleveland in the winter time

Well I'm sure when you have kids and an extended family things like weather aren't big on your priority lists. Anyways most of the black kids I went to college with from South Florida ended up pledging white.latino majority fraternities. You can take away from that what you will.

I honestly don't think that's it. It's a shytty city breh. Miami is one of the worst cities for black americans. I really don't understand the love affair for cities that are racially segregated and definitely are anti-black. Forget his ego. I'm sure his wife liked being able to go into black stores or any stores and get a decent level of respect instead of some Cuban a$$hole automatically looking down on her and her boys factored heavily in their decision.

I am black and love the f*ck out of Miami, all that Latino/mixed p*ssy But yes, Cleveland is definitely a BLACK city, I been there, actually will always regret not hollerin' at this one mixed chick I saw on ferry type train in downtown Cleveland

Again when you are married with kids, that's probably not your concern()...Miami is okay but actually walk through there. Go to Aventura mall, Coconut Grove, Pembroke Pines, etc and it's undeniably racist/classist and it's blatant. I've partied down there plenty of times but it's not a place I will ever visit again. Now as an adult that city has nothing for me. When I was 19/20 I thought it was the greatest place on Earth because of the bolded but you grow up and your interests change.

Whatever dude. Because I'm speaking on having accessibility to elements of our culture outside the home you fronted as if it's not exhibited in it. My son is half Nigerian and African American. I love the fact I can take him to the Schomberg library to access black literature or to the Met where he can see the art work of my hometown. Or that I can find a soul food restaurant in city and a Nigerian restaurant in BK. You can't get that in SLC, so you decide to tear down the benefits SLC obviously doesn't have

Well yeah breh if you are married with kids and wanna keep it PG I'd recommend Palm Beach Island, Naples, Jupiter, etc for sure.

 

[ExodusNirvana]

I have'nt been to Miami yet...maybe in the Spring...but I heard it's really only popular because of the night life and the clubs and what not.

Which means unless you're between the ages of 21 and like 40...and single/DTF....and have some paper...Miami is really not where you want to be

It's cool for young people but once you step past 30, if you're not settled in you're gonna be in trouble, Miami is a party city, not a place to find a serious relantionship. Jobs for black men are pretty low.

I'm trying to leave this year and head to texas.

Market morality. Nothing you've stated has anything to do with quality of life. Cool I can go to Barclay's and the Met then onto shopping. Sounds so exciting. It's all materialistic b/s that leaves one empty.You add in the fact of routinely coming in contact with seedy individuals because of the close proximity of businesses and that's really no way to raise a family in my opinion. And hell yeh I'm riding for Salt Lake City >>>>> New York.

I fukks with Denver as well. Those are peaceful places to me. Outdoor activities year around. Things I look for in a city are health and safety. New York and Jersey don't compare.

its more to a city than just health and safety. denver got hoods too, just like minnesota. hell im sure utah has hoods too. a lot of cities are safe if you wanna live in a 99 percent white educated high upper class suburb. ask yourself why certain metros are healthy? maybe its because it's predominantly white( no soul food, no jamaican food etc). i like being healthy too but i miss the diversity of the east coast. getting some jerk chicken, going to the hood for some chinese. the problem with the cities you like is that there aren't opportunities for career advancement. i remember reading an article that minnesota has the largest gap of unemployment between blacks and whites. now is that because the blacks aren't educated, maybe because there are no blacks in high powered positions(management). or is it a racial issue.

Ok the south is more polite and hoitable but don't confuse good manners with being friendly and more tolerant . Those same old people in the south were the ones throwing bricks and not wanting to end segregation and their kids are there in there 40s-50s running shyt and felt the same way . East has it's issues especially towards minorities ( black men and Latinos In NYC ) but no where near the south where the kkk still exists and people fly confederate flags

Have you even been to the south recently like in the last 10 years?

Those redneck honkeys are dying out and if that shyt still exists it's in shyt hole towns that only white trash would live anyway

Brothas and Hispanics taking shyt over out chea

 

[kingofnyc]

he didnt bytch his way out , he was scapgoatted for that sloan shyt.. he never wanted to leave

it was a foregone conclusion he was going home to dallas when his contract was up
and complained that he was the best NBA player nobody knew -cause UTH was such a tiny market

da hell u talking bout he never wanted to leave

 

[Shamrock32]

I don't want to read too much into these comments but you can't be saying stuff like that publicly. Even if he is frustrated with the NY lifestyle, as a New York athlete he should keep it to himself.

Either way, I hope he gets back in shape and returns to form. Needs to assert himself, stop going through the motions. I miss watching prime D-Will.
