Derrick Rose,Dwayne Wade,Anthony Davis,Isiah Thomas>>>>>Anyone to come from new york city in the last 40 years

another chicago hooper Jabari Parker will be the #1 pick of the 2014 nba draft

A kid from Toronto will be the number 1 pick in 2014.

But, Chicago is producing the best talent by a mile of any city.

 

[Doobie Doo]

why most americans stay hating on NY

most canadians from other cities try to stan toronto

It's not hating, it's the fact that NY makes all these baseless claims. Like I still don't understand how it's the Mecca of basketball when none of their teams are winning in NBA or NCAA. The league isn't being dominated by a bunch of NYers yet it's the Mecca ? I'm saying if I'm wrong then prove it with facts.

 

[Doobie Doo]

so with that logic New York isn't the Mecca of Hip-Hop because the south has been making more push in mainstream, right?

Then Springfield Massachusetts is the mecca of basketball cuz that's where Naismith invented the game.

UCLA '95...when the last time a team full of NYers did? I'm asking because i honestly have no idea LOL

Exactly.

An entire state comparing themselves to one city...and you WONDER why I say your self esteem continues to be complete ass cheeks.

I know who Jabari is, he's the top player for 2013, the thing is this kid -




Is viewed as the best player that isn't in the NBA. He will most likely reclassify to the 2013 class, and when he does Jabari will be bumped from the number 1 spot in his class.

Wiggins would go number 1 in the 2013/2014 or 2015 draft.

If you're a basketball fan, LA is the place to be. basketball runs this city.

Exactly.

To be fair, those Cali players were all from the LA county area...an area larger than NYC? Yes, but that would just be fluff added onto my main point.

And you didn't answer my question, Reb.

He's a junior b.Parker is a senior.The kid looks nice if you're impressed with dunks.I didn't see too much of a polished overall game

He might be #1 in his 2014 class while parker is the #1 freshman in the ncaa at whatever school he chooses and heading towards the nba to give chicago yet another top 5(possible #1 overall pick) lottery pick and a future franchise player to add to the city's basketball resume

His father is a former NBA player, his game is actually really polished, that is why he is so highly regarded. He has the athleticism you look for in a star wing player, but also the skills. He might reclassify to join the 2013 class with Parker, most of the talk is that he wants to get to the league as soon as possible and will forgo another year @ prep school.

Fam, Wiggins destroyed Julius Randle, the number 2 senior in the country, he outplayed most of our 2012 Seniors @ the Nike World Hoops summit as a sophomore. The kid is far and away better than Parker.

NYC loves to claim everything.

He also thought Kwame Brown was a good #1 pick. He's been wrong before.
