folks sounding ignorant

mex city low key is one of the most popping cities ive ever been to. broads on 10 :wow: and its a massive city with a ton to do. Food on point too:whoo: I'd rather live there than somewhere like milwaukee

:ehh: the security concerns are legit, trying to imagine adam silver in meeting rooms with the cartel leaders, breaking them off a chunk:picard: for a peaceful season

However, fanbase would be massive, as anyone who is familiar with san antonio spurs fanbase will tell you. Mexicans love their hoops / american sports and its a mostly untapped market. Real potential for the NFL & NBA to open up shop out there if they can get over the security hurdle.

I know some of t the dudes in this thread never stepped foot outside their block before. Yes, Mexico as a whole has severe issues with crime and political instability that they need to figure out but the capital is a relative oasis to the violence going around the country. Plus it's one of the largest cities in the world with tons to do. I'm sure some players will do fine in Mexico City :smugbiden:.

Nah fam. That's a cop out. Check those figures. They managed at most 17k attendance their first year and that shyt plummeted to like 14k the next few seasons before they relocated. That's well before the arrival of VC. They were garbage drafters and as a franchise they straight up couldn't compete their first 4 years I get that (and they were shafted out of good prospects like Rasheed and so on) but on their final year they were clearly showing signs of progress. And that was one of the worst attendance records in league history.

They're presently a smaller market than both Montreal and Calgary and they are currently barely top 20 in league attendance in the NHL the one sport Canadians care for.

Garbage sports market.

LMAO.. fukking Calgary...they can't even secure an arena deal for their hockey team, you know... the one sport Canadian cacs care for, and they will have one ready for a NBA team? :mjlol:

Montreal might work because of it's sheer market size but you are always gonna be second fiddle with no hope for upward movement and the language issue is a major deterrent. The Expos were averaging below 10k at one point in the early 00's and they bolted. Risky venture going there for the NBA. Those frogs aint gonna support the team. :stopitslime:

Vancouver doesn't deserve another chance at an NBA Franchise. I'd rather see other Canadian cities get their first crack like Calgary and Montreal before BC gets a team. Horrific attendance when the grizzlies were there from what I remember.
