How the hell is New York the mecca of basketball????

[ysl313]

it's not the mecca. new york niggas just believe they are the best at everything. the most illustrious thing about new york basketball is the legendary performances opposing players put up in the not so sacred msg arena.

people who believe new york is the mecca because of street ball are also mistaken because though they have solid streetballers their ballers are no more excellent then many other cities.

Also, just because a good player was born or raised in ny doesn't mean ny is the mecca either

[DillaDeaf]

Games at St. Cecilia's in Detroit are way better than at the Rucker in NYC.

 

[R.D.]

U know we cant forget the super dominate Stephon Marbury who shot a sizzling 43% from the field for his career I cant believe we forgot the great Moochie Norris thank the mecca for throwin him alley-oops to Steve Francis nd Cuttino Mobley

Moochie from DC bruh

 

[Trollio]

[GettinLo]

Lol, niggas stay mad at NY.

This............ and for no real reason too

 

[freshb651]

also NY fans are very knowledgable about the game of Basketball,some scrub named Michael Jordan has said this several times but....what does he know about basketball

 

[allied]

First of all NY is the mecca based on HISTORY. Go look it up their is no mistaking. As for now they haven't produced the most talent. But based on history, NY is the Mecca. But how gives a shit now? We have players coming for Europe, all over the world basketball is much more than NY. But there is no doubt...IMO...NY is the best city when it comes to basketball. It's the city game. It's just that the Knicks have be terrible the last decade. NY aren't frontrunners like LA & they never give up on the Knicks or the Red Storm. That's when people said players didn't want to player is was just bullshit. If you win here, you own the city. Now call me bais but I'm just reppin my city. As for the mecca there is not mecca anymore basketball is much more global than NY.

And some you guys hate for NY is way uncalled for.

 

[rage]

Knicks were trash in the 80's the bridesmaids in the 90's and won titles in 70 and 73

Only thing the knicks ever did was beat the chokin heat 3 outta 4 years besides that their whole history is being kings of ineptitude and gettin sonned by reggie miller and MJ da GOAT

And the Bulls were shit before and after Jordan.

as far as teams they suck but as far as games they always have the biggest events in basketball in any other region

College:

Big East Tourney (best confrence tourney in college basketball according to attendance, TV ratings and talent)

Showcase games: Last year uconn vs kentucky this year duke vs st johns etc every year a big named team plays an eastern team in a neutral site)

NBA:

Best stadium to watch an NBA game from (i have been at the top of the garden and the view is still pretty legit)

They also sell out weather the team is 0-82 or 82-0..no fair weather fans

The crowd actually knows basketball unlike LA which is a bunch of celebrities falling asleep courtside or on twitter the whole damn game

Street Ball:

Rucker park games all sumer

the teams suck but they still have the most basketball events compaired to any other city

Best playground legends come from NYC (not all but they have allot more than any other city)

well put slept on post
