I will say this thou, the South and West coast produce better athletes because they can train outdoors all year around. NYC media is the most powerful, so the hype of these NYC players make them seem like they're best players of the country. I still remember Felipe Lopez was supposed to be next best thing, along with Kenny Anderson.

^^^^ Smartest post in the thread.

Reminds me of when I used to argue with my boy from Mount Vernon (who was a huge St. Johns fan) that Ron Artest would have a better NBA career than Lopez. Nigga swore up and down I was smokin' crack. lol.

Plus, I just got a chill down my spine thinking of what the hype would've been like if Lebron was born and raised in NYC. Scary.

just because NY or any area of the country has better athletes doesn't make it a MECCA of anything.

Oh Lawd I remember the early 2000's which was some of the worst basketball ever displayed everyone came into the league as an athlete wit no jumper star players were shooting in the low 40% every team was trynna cross you up or dunk on you and the final scores of games stayed in the 80's

Kenny Anderson??

Kenny Anderson is a player any team would love to have.He was a back up pg most of his career but he was solid on defense a great leader and understood how to run the offense and get the right person the ball. you need someone like him on your team if you want to win a ship
