I don't believe NY is the mecca for Basketball. I believe its just NY folks hyping up their city like they do everyday. Let's be real if NY was a mecca why haven't the Knicks won in 40 years? Why are teams like UNC Duke Kentucky always favorites to win in NCAA? Now I will say NY does produce some good ball handlers but that's it. Yeah Rucker Park is legendary but so what? Like a dude posted before, whose come out of Rucker and made it to the league since Raefer Alston? I ain't hating but if we talking basketball meccas u gotta include NC in the discussion UNC and Duke are responsible for some legendary players in the league.

:mindblown:

The Knicks are usually the most valuable or 2nd most valuable franchise in basketball, despite not having won a title in 40 years. You clearly have no idea what the word "mecca" means.

Mike always call NYC the mecca of basketball, just because it's not producing players like it used to doesn't mean it's not the center stage.

Do you think Muslims are traveling to Mecca because Saudi Arabia is winning titles and producing talented Imams? You have google at your grasp, why the hell should I tell you what a word means when you can look it up yourself?

So LA and Chicago producers better players, but NY is the mecca :comeon:
LA?

Who are these LA based players?

When was the last time a team stretching down the damn near 2,000 miles of California won an NCAA tournament full of Cali players?
