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

[OFWGKTA]

Thats were it all started at the rucker. do some research before you start a thread on some bullshit.

When I think of NY basketball I don't even think of the NBA and the Knicks. Niggas be street balling on every NY city block corner. I still don't really think any City is the Mecca of basketball but for street ball NY is known for that.

Why do people think when they say the mecca there talking about the knicks?

 

[Coo Coo Cal's Beanie]

LOL NY thinks they're the mecca of everything. Hustling, basketball, rap, etc. Niggas have an overestimated sense of importance.

venice beach and some parts of chicago are known for street ball but they dont claim to be the mecca....

It's the mecca of that "And 1/streetball" bullshit. But dat about it.

And they make MSG out to be some "holy ground" for the NBA, but it's most known for all the epic shit players ON THE OTHER TEAM did there. lol.

I guess that means Atlanta is the mecca of football since ATL got some fierce flag football leagues (trust me, I know, lol) and the Georgia Dome hosts every SEC Title game, several Super Bowls, and we all know what "other" teams have showed out against the Falcons there. lol

Aside from New Yorkers (which should tell you something)....I havent heard anybody refer to NY as the mecca of BBall.

Like who?? Not trying to be an asshole...but I honestly have not heard people call NY the mecca of basketball outside of NYers. I mean its not like they are some kind of dynasty...they only have 2 chips and the last one was 38 years ago.

I hear it all the time too. I heard it about 5 times during that Knicks/Boston series when they played @ MSG and when Melo first went there. (Not to mention the numerous playoff games in the 90s.)

There not talking about the knicks in present day.

When they say NY is the mecca of basketball they mean thats were it started. Thats were the best street ballers started. Thats were they hold tornys every year. They play AAU games at the rucker.

Also NY is a big basketball state. The knicks are more loved then the giants and jets.

To make it easy. Google the mecca of basketball and see what comes up. That should tell you all you need to no.

Shits not a game. Its life
