nah yall niggas get madison, we keep milwaukee and we get rockford, niggas trading cities out here lol

 

[yroholla]

If ppl wanna credit NYC for only street ball then cool....but lets not act like that "street ball" influence didnt give the NBA more flash and style...when you look at any 10 random highlights, id say at least 7 out of the 10 will have a nasty crossover in it...you can argue that these types of moves are street ball influenced

I didnt scroll thru the whole thread so i could be repetitive...but the question i ask is what did any other region in the US contribute to Basketball other than the players themselves? If NY contributed the street ball element, what did anything other state contribute equal to or better than that?

 

[BlackAX410]

Not really I just thought niggas wasn't dumb enough to think that conneticut wasn't part of NY state

well put me in the special ed class next to the kid eatin paste cuz my dumb ass thought conneticut was an independent state

this thread turned into a reason thread. niggas came from other forums to post in here lol.

Niggaz love to hate on our city.. Its ridiculous.. SMH... Funny thing about it is.. I love Chicago.. Its a bunch of real niggaz n bitches out there.. smh... But to try n downgrade NY like if this rapper aint come from here or if this wasnt there n say that we would be the most irrelevant city in the world is ignorant..

1. Its the birthplace of Hip Hop

2. It is where you will find Wall Street

3. Has one of the higher populations in the country.

4. People leave their states and countries to come to NY for a fresh start.

5. I can go on and on and on..

At the end of the day just acknowledge that NYC deserves its Many Monikers... It isnt just something that the media made up.. Times have changed and the world is smaller due to the internet and other factors.. BUT that doesnt change history and the impact that New York City has had on Pop Culture and the world as a whole...

Stop switching topics nigga, we talking basketball.......................and to keep it on topic

Take the fuckin L and keep it moving!

You thought it wouldn't when it would? That's the modern, young, black sports fan for ya. Here's a chart

U say: "The Eagles are good, but they need help on the O-line and defense"
A Young ignant Eagles/Philly fan hears: "Beanie Sigel and the Roots are garbage.... And fuck cheese steaks."

U say: "NYC is NOT the mecca of basketball."
A young ignant Knicks/NY fan hears: "Fuck the city of NY, east coast hip hop, the tri-state area, and I hope 9/11 happens again."

U say: "The Falcons look good this year."
A Young ignant sports fan hears: "The Yin Yang Twins and Gucci Mane are best thing to ever happen to hip hop."

Shit is hilarious and sad all at the same damn time.

 

[greenwood1921]

but NY is the Mecca of Basketball...
U mad?

Yeah, I'm incensed.

 

[freshb651]

LMAO @ this shit

No need to google it I was a geography major Connecticut is NOT PART of new york state

If thats the case so is pennsylvania and jersey

I couldnt care less where chicago is ranked chi still ahead of ya'll in the rap game,relevance game and definitely the bball game

Nyc is currently like 9th or 15th as far as current relevance goes

Chi is ahead in rap too ??,doesn't a Chi nigga(Kanye) work for a NY nigga(Jay)?

but to continue with the thread premise NY'ers are also very knowledgeable of the game and LOYAL,when the Knicks were going through those Marbury years you still saw filled seats @ MSG

the United Center was looking less than full during those "baby bull" Elton Brand,Tyson Chandler years

 

[freshb651]

WRONG

Bulls were top ten in attendance from 00-10 and right now are #1

http://espn.go.com/nba/attendance

check for yourself bulls fans are the most loyal in the nba

I dont care who works for who ny rappers are irrelevant and this comin from someone who bumps ny rappers more than any region

Its a fact kanye>>>>>jigga Right now

And I hate chi rappers they suck besides kanye

damn,point taken.The Cavs were third ??!!? wtf.but you see NY is sixth and they didn't have Melo half the season.The Bulls being #1 is to be expected D.Rose had an insane year.

New Yorkers are fanatical about basketball that's why it was considered the mecca and because of the trends they set,but there are other "hot spots" across the country, Chicago

of course,Indiana,DMV/DC(Barry Farms),Boston,Cali(venice beach,watts),Philly,Atlanta and NC etc etc

Speaking of the real definition of Mecca -- by that definition, ATL is the BLACK SPORTS Mecca of the country simply because damn near every black athlete in the NFL and NBA has residence in ATL at some point even if they never played for any ATL squad.

Bet you a hunned bones your favorite athlete either lived, does live, or is about to live in ATL. So black athletes are literally going out of their way to MIGRATE to ATL -- which is the real definition of a "mecca".

Hell the Oakland fuckin' Raiders had their "Lockout workouts" in ATL w/ the Falcons for no damn reason....

*Don't know how I feel about Campbell wipin' his wack juice on Matty like that. His average-ness might be contagious.

And we all know how the CS's favorite "nigga" Allen Iverson has been kickin' up dust in the A. And he has 0 connection to ATL.

Simply put, callin' any place a sports Mecca is a stretch unless there is solid evidence other than "I'm from there and I like it so.... yeah."

 

[Copper]

the fuck happened in here....Niggas in Ny so desperate they still claiming Conn.? really??

and what the fuck wall street and having the highest pop. got to do with anything?

yall niggas reaching like mr. Fantastic......Ny aint shit, hasnt been shit in our lifetime and wont win shit in the near future......

 

[Copper]

ATL is the Mecca for Downlow niggas

homie a few pages back asked me what GA has done for sports and told me we couldnt claim ATL. really? so NY can claim an entire diff. state but Ga cant claim its own city??......fuckin losers....yall aint even go to class bueller!!
