Barkley, "New York is the most overrated basketball city in NBA"

[Knicksfever2010]

WOW, chuck is a hater

[TaLvsCuaL]

He's right.

[ashbelly]

:oldlol: :oldlol: I heard that.

[50inchvertical]

Overrated in terms of everything really. It doesn't matter what you are talking about, a NY'er will jump in with, "________! Man we invented that _____ shit in New York! We're the mecca of ______."

Great city though, but produces some of the most arrogant about where they came from for no reason people. :oldlol: And it's overpopulated so they live in sardine can apartments, which is why I can only visit but never live there.

[Haymaker]

Chuck is a troll.

[Rekindled]

lol barkley publicly hating on new york

[Scoooter]

NY > everywhere else. Just the way things are.

[SpecialQue]

Round Mound > New York.

[Rajondo]

Chuck is a troll.

He is paid to troll and I love it. :lol

[ICanDunk]

I'm with Chuck on this one.

[Meticode]

I agree. The Knicks honestly haven't done much of shit while they've had the Knickerbockers. But people need to understand it still is the biggest stage to play for in the country. New York is the biggest and best city in the country, and one of the top cities in the world. Who wouldn't want to play for them. Or in Eddy Curry's place, be on the team, not play for them and get New York pizza half the season.

[ReturnofJPR]

The guy who asked Chuck the question on TNT was right. Chicago pumps out better talent than New York and has for years.

[ICanDunk]

Best city in the US?
Is that because it's cold there, because of the traffic jams, or because the people there tend to be really arrogant?

[FourthTenor]

The Garden consistently is a packed, rowdy arena no matter what the team's record is, and not many teams can say that.

But in every other sense he's right. In terms of fan knowledge, team history, "star appeal" etc. it's completely overblown.

[Meticode]

The guy who asked Chuck the question on TNT was right. Chicago pumps out better talent than New York and has for years.
Do you know who was born in New York? Michael Jordan. Well Brooklyn, but still.

[Meticode]

Best city in the US?
Is that because it's cold there, because of the traffic jams, or because the people there tend to be really arrogant?
No, because there's so much diversity among groups and you get a taste of the world in that city. It's rich in culture, as some of the best museums, etc.

I think it's because you get to pay 1200$ for a 300 sq ft studio "apartment" in Manhattan.

I actually did an MSG tour last summer. Because it was summer time, the locker roomw as configured for their WNBA team, the Liberty though. There was smellgoody lotions and women's cleansing products and tubes and shit everywhere.

[ICanDunk]

Good response, but I'd personally prefer a city that is calmer and has warmer weather.

LOL at the post about real estate overpricing. Just another thing that would make me not want to live in NY.

[MayCeltics]

He meant to say Knicks are overrated compared to the Buzz. They haven't won anything in 40 years. Mecca for basketball :oldlol:

LOL @ dudes from towns in flyover country trying to talk shit about New York City. It's not our fault i have more people living on my block than you have in your whole town.

As for NYC, it IS the MECCA of basketball in America. As i type this, there are tons of games of basketball being played right now. And it's already after midnight here. Chuck, as usual, is a hater.

Nope, actually it was Kenny the Jet Smith who started in with the NY is so great talk.

and someone pointed out MJ being born in BK. Correct but NC claims him.

NO WAY!?!?!?! There's basketball being played worldwide at all times of the day.



In fact there's a game in Denver right now. Denver = BBALL MECCA! ZOMG :bowdown:

Ok, look, I'll give New York this. I have no doubt in my mind that a finals series in New York would be pretty incredible. But what's the chance of that ever happening again?

[ICanDunk]

EXACTAMUNDO! **** these haters. They'd all move here if they could, i ain't even mad.
If we could??? Any piece of trash can live in NY lmao

And Barkley only said what he did because Kenny Smith was being an idiot acting like New York is mecca of basketball. Barely anyone outside New York thinks that. It's just New Yorkers being arrogant.

Barkley was just saying something that needed to be said to try to enlighten the delusional New Yorkers.

[DwadeOverLebron]

Do you know who was born in New York? Michael Jordan. Well Brooklyn, but still.

oh ca mon! if you asked michael where he's from he's going to say north carolina you didn't know that? **with a WTF?!? facial expression**

Look how many immigrants and people making minimum wage live in New York. Just about anyone can live there. And you say I couldn't handle the stress and cold weather in New York you must be an idiot. Anyone can "handle" living in New York but most people (including me) choose not to live there because it's just not the best city.

Laugh because you're not living here. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[HEAT111]

I know New York has a lot of history, but for the sports franchises the only thing that's worth to talk about are Yankees. The Knicks have a couple of titles and now what are they? A process. I don't think New York is over rated, the only that's over-rated are the current generation Knicks.

[SpecialQue]

Oh hey, congrats on the Knicks being the only team to get swept in the playoffs.

[NewYorkNoPicks]

Chucks making the same mistake that everyone else makes...he's talking about the Knicks' accomplishments as the barometer for NY's basketball worthiness.

WHEN NYERS SAY ITS A BASKETBALL CITY WERE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE KNICKS, WERE TALKING ABOUT THE ACTUAL CITY DUMBASSES!

THE SPORT IS PLAYED ON LITERALLY EVERY STREET CORNER.

THE ENTIRE TOWN IS OBSESSED WITH IT.

RUCKER PARK AND OTHER NY TOURNAMENTS ARE FREQUENTLY CONSIDERED THE BEST IN THE NATION AND ATTRACT START TALENT.

NY'S STREETBALL PEDIGREE IS LEGENDARY.

OUR FANS STILL SELL OUT MSG 99% OF THE TIME EVEN WHEN WE'RE LOSING.

THE MOST PASSIONATE FANS OUT THERE.

so thats what were talking about.

[ReturnofJPR]

I've dealt with New Yorkers, online, for the better part of 10 years. These are always the common things that represent new yorkers and they are factual:

1) Think they are better than anyone and everyone else

2) They are actually dumber than the majority of the population because they can't (ie don't) expand their knowledge or thought. They give everything one thought and then their thinking process stops right there.

3) They live in a bubble. This one is the most evident and damaging. New Yorkers do not know what is going on outside of their New York bubble. They think everything in the universe exists within their bubble. But at the end of the day, New Yorkers are just idiotic, brain-dead bubble boys. That's all that they are.

He/She does not know what the word imply actually means. Trying to make a point with a New Yorker is like trying to build in a house in a hurricane. Good Luck because you will need it!

And don't talk about diversity in NYC. New York is a town that is either Jewish or Italian. At the end of the day, it's all dark haired brown eyed people. They all look the same. For instance, when the White Sox kicked the New York Yankees' ass on National Television tonight, as the camera panned the Yankee crowd, every single person looked similar. They had dark hair and brown eyes. And just because you are a homosexual does not mean that everyone in NYC is.

As a city, NYC is much better than LA. I mean, nobody ever writes books about how LA is a great city. If anything, they use it as an example of a badly planned city (car dependency, lack of a distinct center/hub, sprawl, etc).

Berkeley and Stanford>all colleges in new york
Dude, Columbia is IVY LEAGUE. How is Stanford and Berkley better??

[opps]

Colleges? NY has Columbia, Cornell, NYU, many of the most highly selective liberal arts colleges (Vassar, Barnard, Sarah Lawrence, etc), West Point, and the most prestigious music and art schools in the country

As a city, NYC is much better than LA. I mean, nobody ever writes books about how LA is a great city. If anything, they use it as an example of a badly planned city (car dependency, lack of a distinct center/hub, sprawl, etc).

We have USC,UCLA,Cal,Stanford,Cal Tech, Claremont liberal arts colleges, FIDM.

I rather drive my own car than walk, or ride in a dirty ass taxi or subway but maybe thats just me :rolleyes: The only people who write about how great NY is are arrogant New Yorkers...

[ReturnofJPR]

Most New Yorkers are ugly and the only good looking ones are non-native new yorkers that only moved their after college.

NYC is filled with rats, bed bugs, and loud mouthed people.

NYC is never ranked in places to live lists, which are based on housing, scenery, quality of life, pollution, job growth, and crime rates.

Rap from the West Coast, and the South, is better.

New Yorkers are basically monkeys filled with false bravado. 98% of New Yorkers are degenerates. New York is mostly craig list people running amuck.

The City is always noisy. There is never 1 second of peace and quiet in NYC. Oh, and NYC doesn't have Hollywood or the tallest building with the latter being one of its old claims to fame.

LA is definitely flawed, but I find it delightfully schizophrenic-- the coastal towns are great, from Malibu to Santa Monica to Venice to Hermosa (in fact, the whole Pacific coast is pretty darn awesome).

the inland of LA is far less appealing: sprawl, freeways, gangs, a complete lack of aesthetic beauty. take me to the ocean.

California Radioactive Waste in the Water that came in from Japan.

Didn't California legalize weed? Becuase thats a real intelligent thing to do right? I mean that must make you guys so productive and enhance your work performance. I'd just love to have surgery in California, it'd be a story you could tell you grandkids since theres a 50/50 chance of your doctor being either a pothead or an earthquake occuring at the time of the operation.

[ICanDunk]

I've dealt with New Yorkers, online, for the better part of 10 years. These are always the common things that represent new yorkers and they are factual:

1) Think they are better than anyone and everyone else

2) They are actually dumber than the majority of the population because they can't (ie don't) expand their knowledge or thought. They give everything one thought and then their thinking process stops right there.

3) They live in a bubble. This one is the most evident and damaging. New Yorkers do not know what is going on outside of their New York bubble. They think everything in the universe exists within their bubble. But at the end of the day, New Yorkers are just idiotic, brain-dead bubble boys. That's all that they are.

I wouldn't really say DC is in the Northeast. It's kinda it's own thing. The barrier between the north and south, with influences from both.

But you're right. Look at dudes list. NYC, with 20 million people vs the DMV with a few million. I'll take it.

And that's not even including further south in the Hampton Roads area in Virginia with people like Iverson. (Though it's more football talent down there, Curry, Vick, Hall, etc)

And lol at him claiming MJ. Dude was still shitting his pants when he left NYC. I'm claiming people that are actually from here. Grew up here. Under that logic, Baltimore needs to start claiming 2Pac and tell the West Coast to back the **** off.

Tupac was born there. He isn't a New Yorker in any other way.

I know a kid who's family had to live in Japan for a year for work and he ended up being born there. He left before he was even 1 and hasn't gone back once. Is he Japanese? FVCK NO

I was born in Utah and haven't lived there since my family was a few weeks old. Should I be considered a Utah native? FVCK NO

My Grandpa died when he was on vacation in the Dominican Republic. Did he die a Dominican? FVCK NO

Seriously your life is infinitely more important than your place of birth or death fvcking idiot

Where you are born is a very important thing. Why do you think all these birthers make such a big shit over where Obama was born. Him being born in Hawaii is a very big deal. If he weren't born on American soil, and were really born in Kenya or where ever, he wouldn't be able to be president.

You can think place of birth is totally irrelevant, but in actuality it is very important.

[ICanDunk]

do you happen to be this guy in the video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts0lx8-fYiA
Not at all lol

[ICanDunk]

So now place of birth is important because the Constitution made a measure against the possibility of a President with an agenda for a different country?

The percentage of people who run for President in the United States is so minuscule that it is irrelevant. The fact that it matters where those few people are born is irrelevant compared to the other 99.99999999% of the world's population.

[MayCeltics]

Chuck at beginning of season: The Knicks are not even a playoff team. The Nets are better. Kenny, the Nets are better. THey will win more games. PERIOD.

He's a hater. I have no idea why. When he comes on in NY they laugh because they know he's going to skewer the Knicks. When the Knicks win, he skewers the other team and it's like NY didn't even play.

[the_wise_one]

WOW, chuck is a hater

No he's not. He's totally correct.
****ing NYC thinks they can ball - they just suck ass.

[RainierBeachPoet]

because it is so compact, there are probably more serious ballers in almost any ten given blocks than any other city-- it is packed.


because of all the talent there, it could be called a mecca, but historically it is because of the NY Renaissance and the history that NYC is referred in this way

[kentatm]

The Garden consistently is a packed, rowdy arena no matter what the team's record is, and not many teams can say that.


you had better damn well have a packed arena of 20k when your team is in a metro area of nearly 19 million people.


Chuck is right. NYC is way overrated when it comes to basketball.

[KevinNYC]

Do you know who was born in New York? Michael Jordan. Well Brooklyn, but still.
Brooklyn has been part of New York City since 1898.

It's the opposite. There are so many forms of entertaintment, distraction, things to do in NY....that sports can easily get lost in the mix.

Look at the Nets. The Nets are in the same Tri-State area, with 20 million people...and NO ONE goes to the games.

In smaller cities, the sports team IS the entertainment. That's why everyone goes there. The entire city rallies around that team and venue. there aren't hundreds of other things to do.

Not being demeaning or anything, but true.


Chuck just doesn't like D'Antoni style ball. No secret.

21% of New York city is either Jewish or Italian. That's not diversity at all. That's domination by two groups. It's hispanic and black population is much lower than Chicago's.

How is that domination if you have two groups that are each around 10%.

The hispanic population is just over a quarter and the black population is just over a quarter, so more than either Jews or Italians.

From Wikipedia
The nine largest ethnic groups as of the 2005 census estimates are: African, Puerto Ricans, Italians, West Indians, Dominicans, Chinese, Irish, Russian, and German.

Serious crime, such as murder, rape, assault, burglary, robbery and larceny, fell in the city for the 19th consecutive year despite predictions that the recession would force people to turn to crime................The FBI crime figures showed that New York had the lowest crime rate of the 25 biggest US cities, with 1,151 crimes per 100,000 people.

Because NYC is home to the largest Italian population outside of Italy and the largest Jewish population outside of Israel. Considering their population in the world given to NYC, it is dominant. And both groups have dark hair, dark eyes. So then you mix in the hispanics and blacks and every where you look in NYC you only see people with dark hair and brown eyes...boring!


Anyone who doesn't like NYC probably just doesn't like cities.

I'm pretty sure the reason as to why people do not like NYC has everything to do with the quality, or lack there of, of people that inhabit the city.

Ah yes, the dark hair, brown eyes dominance, yeah, I guess that could really wear on you.

If you have a blonde fetish, it's not the best city for you, perhaps you should try phoenix, though of course, there are plenty of blondes.

[herschel4heisman]

I moved up to NY from Atlanta 6 years ago. In terms of living in a city, NY is my favorite city in the US. However from a basketball point of view, NY is highly overrated and living off of past lore. I read an article (link below) in the Wall Street Journal last November about the decline of basketball (high school, college and the NBA) in NYC. In it, they interviewed several people who have been around NYC basketball and they all reached the same conclusion. NYC isn't the mecca anymore. Here's an excerpt:

New York nurtured so many residents to stardom they could support an entire wing in the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Against such a backdrop, the current state of New York basketball is appalling. The Knicks haven't won a playoff game in a decade and have endured nine consecutive losing seasons despite one of the highest payrolls in the NBA. While the Knicks bumped along the bottom, local colleges lost legions of fans by fielding unattractive and unsuccessful teams.

Not since 2006 has a team from the metropolitan area so much as qualified for the postseason NCAA tournament, let alone won a game, which last happened in 2004. Of perhaps greater significance, the city hasn't produced a consensus first-team All-American since 1993 when Jamal Mashburn, the University of Kentucky forward from Cardinal Hayes High School, was so honored. Almost as astonishing is the fact that no player born and raised in New York has been elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame since 1996, and that individual was a woman, Nancy Lieberman. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was Lew Alcindor when he played high-school ball at Power Memorial in the city, was inducted the previous year.

New York, said Tom Konchalski, the most respected evaluator of basketball talent in the area, "is not the Mecca of basketball any more." His isn't a solitary opinion. "What New York has lost, the rest of the country has gained," noted Gary Charles, director of the New York Panthers, a summer-league program that has enrolled some of New York's most talented youngsters for the past two decades. "You see teams from Florida or Texas where it used to be just football. Is New York still the king? It could be Washington, D.C., one year, Chicago the next."

Actually there's several mistakes, the main one is the entire State of New York should not be the same color, because it's not what someone from the five boroughs considers New York, anywhere north of the Bronx border is considered "upstate."

[Go Getter]

-The best pro ball is not in NY.
-The best college ball is not in NY.
-The best streetball MIGHT be played in NY but when they come to tourneys in Chicago they get beat.


-They don't produce the best PG's anymore, and no one really cares about the Rucker like that anymore.

No, it's jealousy. It's like when an ugly girl sees a hot girl she says "i'm sure she's dumb, or a *****. She's a low person."

And the Hot girl doesn't even notice the ugly girl. You jealous people - you're the ugly girls.

saying NYC has "terrible" people is ridiculous, we are so not homogenous, we are a collection of like 27 billion different kinds of people. Chances are if everyone here sucks then you suck because probably a pct of the population is just like you.

That WSJ article is pretty much true. Starbury was probably last really heralded New Yorker. The article was also written before this year's HoF inductees were announced which included NYC's Chris Mullin

[niko]

21% of New York city is either Jewish or Italian. That's not diversity at all. That's domination by two groups. It's hispanic and black population is much lower than Chicago's.

New York's Times Square is nothing like it was in the 80's. It's lost its charm and edge. Now it is nothing but a mecca for corporate garbage. And speaking of garbage, ugly New Yorkers just stick their trash on the sidewalk for people to walk or slip by. The city stinks. This is a major reason why. Plus, NYC has major problems with bed bugs and rats because many of the people are dirty not to mention because of their poor sanitation habits such as just throwing piles of garbage on the sidewalks. Nasty!

People who say that are either intellectuals who never actually went there or out of towners who think they are too cool and know better. It used to be hookers, sex shops and drug addicts. It was dangerous as ****. NO ONE went there. People are so full of shit, i've met rich people who say "it had more character" even though there is not a chance in hell they'd be there mixing with the characters that were there.

TOTAL BULLSHIT. That sentence invalidates every other thing you say. It's ridiculous. "I miss the old days when it had character and crackheads".

And btw i spent a lot of my time in other cities. I LOVE Tokyo. I LOVE London. Vienna is probably my all time favorite city. Hearing anyone say one of those cities suck would probably be ridiculous to 95% of you. But NY sucks? Please...jealously is so unbecoming...

It is pretty wierd to say NY is too dirty today and then pine for Old Times Square.

But this is also false
It was dangerous as ****. NO ONE went there.

It was a teenage rite of passage to go there. My brother and I were just discussing this weekend about going there at maybe 14-15 years old to get fake ids so we could buy beer underage.


Also somewhere in the thread someone mentioned taxis being dirty. I don't remember the last time I got in a taxi and it was dirty.

He is right. More hype than anything.

There is a reason you don't see me rag on teams like SA, Boston and LA that often. They've earned the hype they get. The Knicks? So far, they've got two stars and a mediocre team. I think atleast some of the "haters" (Can we ban that word please?) will let up if they ever get around to living up to their hype.

NYC rocks. Its one of the few places in the US I would consider leaving Texas for.

I was pretty young when Times Square was full of sex shops and strip clubs. It for sure had character but I agree that most people pining for it would not have ever gone down there.

but again, Chuck is right about it being overrated basketball wise.

[heyhey]

I agree. The Knicks honestly haven't done much of shit while they've had the Knickerbockers. But people need to understand it still is the biggest stage to play for in the country. New York is the biggest and best city in the country, and one of the top cities in the world. Who wouldn't want to play for them. Or in Eddy Curry's place, be on the team, not play for them and get New York pizza half the season.

basketball in nyc means much more than just the Knicks. The game has a tradition in the city that far succeeds NBA

I was giving NY the benefit of the doubt since I am biased towards Chicago.

NYC is definitely going to be too crowded and noisy for a lot of folks and the rents are going to be high. But the high rents are due to the fact that so many people want to live here.

I think non-New Yorkers, bandwagon foreigners with NY Yankees hats, and youngsters that live in lame areas and want to move to NY like an attention (or drama starved) puppy make it overrated.

People from NY that I meet don't overhype it. Others do (imo). It's just like how people treat Chicago.

over jay-z? lol
Jay's words "If you want my old sht buy my old album" pretty much sum up his career. He was a good rapper at first and people want more stuff like he did at first, but now all he cares about is satisfying the mainstream to make more money and the quality of his music has declined tremendously.

I liked Biggie a lot but he's dead :(

50 Cent was decent before he started trying to target the mainstream audience but since then he's fallen off even worse than Jay-Z.

Nas was great but hasn't made anything close to what he did in Illmatic or even It Was Written.

Immortal Technique is a beast but needs to calm down with the conspiracy theories.

So yea I can think of four and half good New York rappers, but one is dead, ones career is dead, one never had a great career, and the other one and a half gave up making good music.

Jealousy is something 9 year old little girls with very little logic rely on. Thus, you are relying on it. Many people prefer the old times square. The way that it was. You don't. Who cares about your preferences? People liked seeing the tags on everyone one of the pay phones, walls, and what have you. Some tourists loved seeing that. They couldn't find it anywhere else in the world. That was unique and that was character whether you agree with it or not.

And the bottomline is that anyone from anywhere in the world will tell you that New Yorkers are seen as loudmouthed, overbearing jerks. Ye Tawkin to me? New York and class goes together like flowers and a pile of sh!t.

You just have to face the facts that millions of people around the globe do not like New York and they certainly do not like the pompous pretenders who call it home. NYC has one of the lowest qualities of life and it is never mentioned on lists of places to live because of everything that it has stacked up against it (Crime, Traffic, Weather, Quality of Life, People, etc.)

Jealousy is something 9 year old little girls with very little logic rely on. Thus, you are relying on it. Many people prefer the old times square. The way that it was. You don't. Who cares about your preferences? People liked seeing the tags on everyone one of the pay phones, walls, and what have you. That was unique and that was character whether you agree with it or not because your opinion does not matter.

And the bottomline is that anyone from anywhere in the world will tell you that New Yorkers are seen as loudmouthed, overbearing jerks. Ye Tawkin to me? New York and class goes together like flowers and a pile of sh!t.

You just have to face the facts that millions of people around the globe do not like New York and they certainly do not like the pompous pretenders who call it home. NYC has one of the lowest qualities of life and it is never mentioned on lists of places to live because of everything that it has stacked up against it (Crime, Traffic, Weather, Quality of Life, People, etc.)

Despite all that, NYC somehow remains the most populated and one of the most visited cities in the US.:rolleyes:

And don't talk about diversity in NYC. New York is a town that is either Jewish or Italian. At the end of the day, it's all dark haired brown eyed people. They all look the same. For instance, when the White Sox kicked the New York Yankees' ass on National Television tonight, as the camera panned the Yankee crowd, every single person looked similar. They had dark hair and brown eyes. And just because you are a homosexual does not mean that everyone in NYC is.

Most retarded statement I've read in a long time.

It's the truth. When you mostly have Blacks, Hispanics, Italians, and Jews...just dark hair and brown eyes...boring!!!
