If nyc is the mecca of basketball why dont they produce as much talent as other states?

Y’all LA dudes the main ones flocking to NYC. I legit worked in a building in Manhattan where 80% of the workers were from Cali.

Y’all LA dudes are even bold enough to move here in the middle of the winter

What they want here?

Ray Allen is from South Carolina.....think he was a military brat but I remember reading that he played hs ball in SC.


From the 1980s on....NYC produced a LOT of D1 players, specifically point guards

I think one year several high profile programs started NYC point guards....Smith and UNC, Mark Jackson at St Johns...Pearl Washington at Syracuse

If you look at the guys who are from NYC and/or played high school ball there the list of current HOFs is
Kareem,Tiny Archibald,Connie Hawkins, Bernard King,Chris Mullin,Cousy,Lenny Wilkens

5 of those 7 are legit nba legends


Too many distractions in NYC, young players with potential never develop it ....

Also, NBA has moved away from old school pgs who set the table for other players and espcially the big men...
league is dominated by super athletic point guards who score first....and perimeter players now

Im not a b.ball fan but this is interesting.
Im from london and considering the similarities we have with ny this is probably a reason why londoners dont produce that many great football (soccer)
Players.

A mecca is a place that attracts people to it - also holds cultural and historical significance..New York is by definition a mecca since its origin. It is literally impossible for it to not be a mecca by significance globally, financially, culturally, economically by progression...I swear some of y'all didn't make it past 8th grade in the pass through rest stops that you call towns.

 

[ManBearPig]

Maywood is the mecca


Shannon Brown
Doc Rivers
Michael Finley
Sterling Brown
Brian Carlwell

It’s pretty funny actually. Lots of New Yorkers live in La and lots LA people live in NYC.

Lots of New Yorkers like the phrase “Go back to Ohio” when in reality it should be “go back to Cali” lol

@Southside Swangin there is nothing “city” about the Bronx, Queens or Staten Island.

Nice try tho.

Those are 5 different cities and when you speak on you're from NYC it's mentioning one of those areas. That's a fact, no other state does that.

nikkas live in unincorporated county land with arbitrary postal designations but really don't understand NYC boroughs huh

 

[delnegro]

I don't understand the concept of waking up with another place that you don't reside in, or have any ties to on my mind. Weirdo shyt

 

[Sccit]

It don't matter cause this is your home.

Go home, you Saudi Arabian boot licker.

[The Coochie Assassin]

Seattle area breeds NBA talent every year.

Jaden McDaniels, Federal Way, Power Forward

 

[Whogivesafuck]

There is no goat city everything is subjective. There is nothing appealing to me about any of the cities in the tri state area.

It was always said that NY cats can dribble but can't shoot
