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

[UberEatsDriver]

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

New Jersey - state
DMV - metro region
Texas - state

Stupid post.

You can only make a case for Seattle and La here

They say it's the Mecca because of Rucker Park.

But NY ain't the King of nothing no more.

the KING of all cities

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Top tier

NC
Chicago
LA

NC is a state try again.

 

[GoAggieGo.]

Not Winston-Salem

And I’m perfectly fine with that. The GOAT is from my state

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!

He's not better than Jordan

He's not better than Jordan

MJ was born in Brooklyn...

He was actually born in Brooklyn technically.

I hope you New Yorkers are not about to argue with nikkas using metro regions and states vs the city.

Do not fall for the bait of having this unintelligent debate

 

[KodeBlue]

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

How many of them are from DC specifically?

I hope you know that harping on who's from within the city limits and who isn't is gonna give credence to the fact that NYC isn't the Mecca .

Smaller cities are putting out higher percentages of players than NYC.

Don't do this breh

You aren’t saying anything unless you have facts to show it. Like I said I don’t care if there are cities predicting more talent per cap.

But we not about sit here and brag about Giant Texas and NC having more athletes than NYC.

Not a single player on your list comes from the same location

While true, that man left Brooklyn as a toddler. His daddy is from NC, and moved his boy back home as soon as he could

NYC Population: 10 Million
New Jersey Population: 9.1M
DMV Population: 6.3 MILLION
Houston/Dallas Population: 3.6M combined.

 

[UberEatsDriver]

As far as number of talent does.

NYC is number 2 behind LA.

I always knew LA and possible Seattle was NYCs main competition as far as native city talent.

1. Los Angeles (26)
2. New York City (22)
3. Chicago (16)
4. Washington, DC (15)
5. Philadelphia (14)
6. Atlanta (12)
7. Houston (12)
8. Dallas (11)
9. Indianapolis (10)
10. Seattle (10)

NYC does not have 10 million people.

Houston and Dallas are not the same.

I remember when I went to NYC, I got the best gloves of my life from a street vendor for $2 I still got em. Them shyts gotta be quadruple layered and the wrist part of it the longest I ever seen. Like a short gym sock. I've bought the thinnest, weak ass at Walgreens for $3!


All that to say, to my NYCers no matter how much shyt people talk on thecoli or elsewhere, y'all still got the glove game on lock Y'all are the fukking goat with them gloves Never forget that
