... over a 3 year span in the 70s, and most of the "legends" from the city never live up to their hype when they go up against ball players from the rest of the country in college and the NBA?

I'll give them Kareem, Connie Hawkins, and Bob Cousy (:mjlol:)...

Rucker, Dykeman, there's Bball courts everywhere in NYC, it's the most popular sport to play in the city.


That basketball court near the West 4th subway station always have a crowd of people watching them play ball even though nobody famous or in the NBA plays there.

Chris Mullin and Bernard King too :hubie:


MSG is called the Mecca, it's why dudes always seem to have big performances there.


As for NYC and producing talent, it still pumps out the most D1 talent in the country, the problem is guys don't hit that next level like dudes from Chicago. For whatever reason development of players in NYC is terrible now when it comes to producing NBA star level players while Chicago has a production line of MVP caliber players coming out of there.
