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

CALIFORNIA RUN OF ALL STARS DPOY AND MVPS IS PROBABLY MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN ANYTHING THE BIG APPLE HAS DONE IN THE LAST 40 YEARS

NYC does not have 10 million people.

New York City’s Population Hits a Record 8.6 Million
New York City’s Population Hits a Record 8.6 Million

If you include the 2.4M undocumented immigrants, thats about 10M.

My boy Kemba is from NYC. I thank the city for him.

Ehhh no and Houston and Dallas are two complete different cities.

Not an educated comparison

But I already posted a list of where most NbA starts come and NYC is number 2

Staten Island don't count

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

How many of them are from DC specifically?

KD & Cook off that list but don’t forget about
ED DAVIS
Eljin Baylor
Roy Hibert
John Lucas
Victor Page
Walt Williams

And that’s off the top of my head

He's not better than Jordan

I feel Jordan is the GOAT, but Kareem and Bill Russell are the only names I'll accept as valid arguments.

Hibbert was born in Queens and moved to a suburb in Maryland. Nothing about him is from DC.

Relax my guy. Don't nobody frfr give af NYC, nikkas just be clowning to get yall sensitive ass New yawkers riled up like this :

Keep dreaming.

It’s amazing how the OP asked how come NYC is referred to as the Mecca of basketball and then proceeds to compare a city to a bunch of states.

Texas? California?



I have no problem with NYC losing a battle but if you want to compete with the big Apple at least do so with educated thoughts, opinions and facts.

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.

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

Not Winston-Salem

NYC is not a state.....

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

How many of them are from DC specifically?

New Jersey - state
DMV - metro region
Texas - state

Stupid post.

You can only make a case for Seattle and La here

NC is a state try again.

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

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

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.

Lol hey you love sensitive New Yorkers. I love slow people from flyover states

He moved when he was 2 but y’all claim MJ too

There is nothing about Hibbet that is DC. Alpelphi, Maryland?

@Dad hey you got southerners that want to claim hip hop and Harlem drug dealers because their moms and dads came from the south lol.

Every city listed has a higher per capita than NYC.

You were better off including states.

You right it’s only a 30min drive .

But you got it champ, pick one from my list and try your best to claim him, champ .
