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

[Actually6Foot3]

It's a historical context and what NYC means to the history of basketball. Nothing to do with current talent pools. Besides you comparing a city to an entire state

 

[KodeBlue]

Dmv breeds the most athletes per capita


And I'm not one of them

Like who?
KD
Oladipo
Jeremy Grant
Steve Francis
Quinn Cook
Ty Lawson

That's all I got so far.

You keep track of a lot of men

I'm not a sports fan, just here to talk shyt. This is tlr, after all

 

[010101]

But NYC does have historical and current talent.

the all.time.scoring champ is from nyc*

 

[Apollo Creed]

NYC of the Mecca of Non Blacks using the N word.

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Whenever I see a loser compare their state to the city of NYC it just lets me know I won.

Imagine being from someplace so powerful that the haters need their entire state to compete against you lol.

 

[GoAggieGo.]

The greatest is from NC

 

[Max Goonberg]

Another day another bammas vs NYC thread.

Isn’t Dwight Howard a a 7 ft bottom boy? Only Atlanta could create something so disturbing

 

[Raw Lyrics]

Is something stunting these young boys development

You look at other states like ca texas and neighboring new jersey is able to send players to the league at a much higher clip


For a place that has so much history why don't yall produce actual legends (new or old)

Yall dont even produce all star reserves

Like CALIFORNIA FOR INSTANCE

Demar Derozan
Klay Thomoson
Kahwii Leonard
Russel Westbrook
James Harden
Ray Allen
Gary payton
Jason Kidd
Gilbert Arenas
Damian Lilard
Paul george


Thats over 7 hall of famers alone
mvps , finals mvps, defensive players of the year.

nikka who was the last legit player from ny

You have a point, NYC doesn't produce greats at the rate of other states. With that being said, we produced the one that counts:

If you're going to say someone is better than Jordan, it better be Kareem's name that comes out ya mouth!

 

[UberEatsDriver]

The greatest is from NC

Not Winston-Salem

NYC is not a state.....

 

[Stick Up Kid]

New Jersey, DMV, Texas, Seattle, California all produce more than NY.

 

[KodeBlue]

None of those players are from the same city. Try again.

How many of them are from DC specifically?
