Biggest S.hithole NBA Cities

What are the worst ones?

[Mr Clutch Melo]

Never been there but Cleveland looks like a shithole

[rlsmooth775]

What are the worst ones?

Chicago Oklahoma

[Heavincent]

I feel like Detroit is the obvious choice here. Cleveland is second.

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

Detroit.
It's so bad, the Pistons have to play in another city that is a suburb of that shit hole Detroit.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Houston, and it's not even remotely close.

One thing about Houston is that 97% of the population is morbidly obese. You can second hand diabetes living there

[NumberSix]

Detroit, Cleveland & OKC (depending on whether or not you consider it a city)

[WallIn]

Detroit

[aj1987]

The cities I've been to, Memphis sucks, Philly sucks, Oakland sucks, Charlotte sucks, Detroit sucks, and Cleveland as well.

Chicago is not as bad as people make it out to be.

Gotta go with Milwaukee

[WallIn]

:oldlol: forgot about that

[Mr Exlax]

When I visited OKC it was kinda lame. I can't say it's a shit hole though. Ummm Cleveland, Detroit would be my picks.

[SilkkTheShocker]

I assume everyone is just forgetting Milwaukee even exists at this point.

:oldlol:

[Heavincent]

I think New Orleans deserves a mention as well.

[Lakers Legend#32]

It's an embarrassment the NBA has a team in OKC.

[DukeDelonte13]

Never been to Milwaukee, but i'm sure it's a lot like Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago. I'd much rather live in the rust belt than the middle of nowhere or the deep south.


I hate driving around in Boston. Such a pain in the ass. People in NY take pride in their jackassery. I find that so irritating.

[Heavincent]

I don't think OKC is necessarily a shithole. It's just boring and kind of pathetic compared to other cities. At least your chances of getting shot don't increase significantly when you go outside.

Have you ever been to New Orleans? Bourbon Street is fun and the food there is beyond amazing.

NOT THE SAME

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Houston is definitely better than Milwaukee.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Houston is definitely better than Milwaukee.

Both cities are full of fat people. But it's a lot warmer in Houston. The women in Milwaukee are also beyond gross. A New York City 3 would be a Milwaukee 12

Neither is Philly. Philly has some really bad parts but has some extremely nice parts.

1. Boston - Got a place in Brookline, would move here permanently.

2. San Francisco - though games are currently in Oakland obviously.

3. New Orleans - Wouldn't live there... but enjoy my time there more than anywhere else except Vegas.

[nathanjizzle]

Cleveland. no one ever said they want to go on vacation to Cleveland.

[MMM]

It's an embarrassment the NBA has a team in OKC.

why they actually support their team

while teams like Philly, Atlanta, Indiana, Detroit have had serious issues with attendance over the years.

[MMM]

only time i've been to Wisconsin was a pretty wired experience. Pull into a small town inbetween Madison and Milwaukee and there is some mardigras type event going on all night.

[goldenryan]

The Pistons do not play in Detroit! They play in Auburn Hills! :rant

[Sarcastic]

We'll see how much they support them, when KD and Westbrook are gone/retired. You think people will show up when they have a bottom feeding team in 10 years?

[mr.big35]

why do people think okc is some small town with just tumbleweed

Their inaugural season of 2008-2009 , they did well in attendance though they had a horrible record. Yea KD & Westbrook were there but they were losing and their fans still showed up.

Look at the Sacramento Kings. Losing and losing but fans are still cheering.

PS: I am from Seattle so I am being objective on this.

I didn't want to take a chance, considering you're the sloth of ISH.

But if you could, you're aware that Houston is a giant wad of shit while Madison is consistently voted one of the best college cities in America.

This is some heavy shit to deal with after that Game 6. I'm here for you if you need help.

Stupid.

Has the OKC fanbase endured years of losing and not making the playoffs? Of course people will come and watch their Thunder team in their first year; give them back to back years of losing and see if they still come and watch.

Look at a real fanbase like Golden State, Toronto etc. Years of drought but their fans still come out and support the team and manage to finish top in attendance every year.

[MrC1991]

Chiraq (areas on the south and west side...did roofs on both sides and you see some wild shit out there.) Been to Detroit a few times and its shitty as FVCK, Cleveland isn't anything to brag about.

Why would you assume it's stupid okc wouldn't support their team while enduring losing seasons?

You're only assuming this.

The NBA has all of okc's sports entertainment monopolized, just like sacramento, San Antonio, Orlando...

I think okc will still support their teams even though they lose. Okc people cannot take their team for granted as they witnessed their team leave their previous home in Seattle.

But then that's my assumption too.:cheers:

[Sarcastic]

It's by far the smallest city of all the NBA markets.

[BasedTom]

The Central Division.

Okc people cannot take their team for granted as they witnessed their team leave their previous home in Seattle.
It's downright ridiculous for Blunder fans to actually believe that the Sonics history is theirs, and that they've won a title before. Gary Payton has refused to have his jersey retired in their building for a reason.

It's not their team. And it really shouldn't even be Clay Bennet's team.

(btw this is coming from someone who hates Seattle sports)

[Wonder Bread Kid]

It's by far the smallest city of all the NBA markets.

SLC is the smallest city and metro area in the NBA.

[MMM]

Well there is no possible way of knowing if they will be a bottom feeder or not.

Fortunately for OKC fans they seem to have a solid front office that can maintain some level of success and avoid bottom feeding status.

Another benefit for them is that they are the only show in town and don't have to compete against other major sport teams. Similar to Portland and Utah.

"Sloth of ISH" :oldlol:

I 100,000% guarantee you that you wouldn't be saying jack shit about the city of Houston if it weren't for James Harden, the guy you constantly hate on every single f*cking day since the day you registered on Inside Hoops. You hate on the team, the fans and the whole city itself because of 1 player.

There are good parts and bad parts of Houston. Rice University is one of the top 20 universities in the US. Houston Community College is not a comparison. University of Houston is also another good school. So is Houston Baptist University. Even University of Phoenix has three campii here.

Houston, Texas is great place to live in when you aren't in the bad, poor areas. You can visit places like the museum, zoo, space center, the galleria, aquarium, kemah park... list goes on and on. There are so many attractions there.

In 2012 Forbes ranked Houston as America's coolest city. Ahead of cities like NYC and LA. http://www.forbes.com/sites/morganbrennan/2012/07/26/houston-tops-our-list-of-americas-coolest-cities-to-live/

going to add phoenix. desert doesnt seem enjoyable to live there

[Sarcastic]

Oh yea, completely forgot they had a team.


Neither city should really have an NBA team, while Seattle doesn't.

[Wonder Bread Kid]

going to add phoenix. desert doesnt seem enjoyable to live there

The constant brown of the desert southwest gets tiring very quickly if you like green landscapes. Grass, trees, plants, flowers, etc. Phoenix has very nice streetscapes (enviable design standards) but the mountains and dirt and rock yards getting mundane and saddening after just a few days.

[Wonder Bread Kid]

Oh yea, completely forgot they had a team.

No city deserves a team. You either have one or you don't You can be super rich and own a pair of 200 dollar shoes or you could be poor and own them as well. Neither person deserves those shoes, they just have them because they bought them.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Chicago is not as bad as people make it out to be.
What about Chicago is considered bad? The fact we've had the highest murder rate in the country since 2008? It's confined to a very bad part of the town on the cities south side. Metropolitan downtown Chicago is the 2nd greatest city in America. Easily.

[Wonder Bread Kid]

Name a city that has a case for being better than Chicago in the United States besides New York? Please don't think your river walk somehow supercedes our downtown. Chicago is the best city in America during the summer months. Yes, even better than NYC.

[Wonder Bread Kid]

Would seem to be a matter of public perception. Chicago overall is definitely not a sh-thole. But when the average person only hears or sees Chicago in the media in a story about a murder or murders, it's going to form a generalized opinion regardless if true or not.

[Wonder Bread Kid]

Again, it's your opinion, not a fact. The sooner you grow to accept that notion, the better you'll understand this world.

In your mind, NYC is the best city in the US. In a lot of peoples mind, NYC isn't the number 1 city in America nor is Chicago number 2 in their minds as well.

In someone's mind, Seattle is number 1 and San Diego is number two. In another persons mind, Miami is number 1 and Denver is number 2. In yet another persons, mind Boise is number 1 and Boston is number 2.

People don't have that perception though. Especially if they've been to Chicago. Yes there is a crap ton of senseless killings. But most people are intelligent enough to realize that right now a small section of the city is strapped up, full of gangsters, slinging heroin at a record pace with a high murder rate. But it's a small, insignificant part of the city that no reasonable people will ever encounter.

[9512]

Chicago sounds nice until having to learn which part of the city one must avoid like gang turf

You can't just dismiss the murder rates because it's mostly black-on-black crime or ghetto shit. Even if it doesn't personally affect your day to day life, it has a negative effect in the grand scheme of things (funding, the economy, city politics, demographics). I'm sure a millionaire could live it up in Detroit today, but that doesn't make it any less of a decaying shithole.

Here's an interesting picture:

80-90 percent of the country hasn't been to Chicago. You understand this right? The US is a big place, nearly 313 million people spread across this country.

Many have or will never visit Chicago or live in Chicago. Their only exposure to it is online, on the news, on tv or in the movies. When that exposure is generally filled with murders, crime and other negative things, well, perception is reality for a lot of people.

Btw, you're giving Americans way more credit then they deserve. In general, Americans are not a very bright bunch and very ignorant to things.

True story for me too lol

I live in France and I hear French people say France is better than the USA because they think french are smarter, more cultured, and have the prettier women.

I hear some French born Algerians/Tunisians/morrocans (a huge portion of French residents are Arabs) say their religion of Islam is the best and catholicism is for pedophile priests. (Lol wasn't their prophet engaged to an 13 year old?)

Etc..

I can't even pretend to defend Cleveland it's a shithole, thankfully haven't lived there for years, but so are roughly 2/3 of the cities the NBA represents. I think I like maybe 3 of them.

Cleveland, Detroit, and OKC are all shitholes.

The NBA should be picking cities from a business perspective, not from a "how's the weather" perspective.

Chicago should have 2 teams if anything. They support 2 in baseball. They can easily support 2 in basketball.

Now you're changing the argument.

What does weather have to do with peoples opinion of the best cities or people not thinking NYC and Chicago are 1 and 2?

Seattle has pretty sh-tty weather but there are many would rate it better than most other cities, including NYC and Chicago. You're trying to make everyone fit into the same shape hole. :no:

The NBA doesn't just "pick cities". There is more to it than just the NBA having a say where every team will play or not.

[BasedTom]

People who aren't actively in the labor force (working or seeking work) don't factor into the Unemployment rating. It's not totally reliable.

So all your inbred family members living off welfare and confined to mobility scooters skew the statistic.

dont take it personal mate

[Wonder Bread Kid]

You have a better indicator of shitholiness? :lol

It has zero correlation. :facepalm

Quality of life issues have a bigger correlation to what one perceives to be a "sh!thole", as are a few other intangible and tangible things.

A place where you have a 1 or 2 percent better chance at maybe landing a job, isn't one.

But to compare OKC to slums like Detroit/Cleveland/Miami is funnier than Larry the Cable guy :lol

I 100,000% guarantee you that you wouldn't be saying jack shit about the city of Houston if it weren't for James Harden, the guy you constantly hate on every single f*cking day since the day you registered on Inside Hoops. You hate on the team, the fans and the whole city itself because of 1 player.

There are good parts and bad parts of Houston. Rice University is one of the top 20 universities in the US. Houston Community College is not a comparison. University of Houston is also another good school. So is Houston Baptist University. Even University of Phoenix has three campii here.

Houston, Texas is great place to live in when you aren't in the bad, poor areas. You can visit places like the museum, zoo, space center, the galleria, aquarium, kemah park... list goes on and on. There are so many attractions there.

In 2012 Forbes ranked Houston as America's coolest city. Ahead of cities like NYC and LA. http://www.forbes.com/sites/morganbrennan/2012/07/26/houston-tops-our-list-of-americas-coolest-cities-to-live/

Houston is the most miserable city in the nation. Honestly, I'd rather live in Sierra Leone than be clumped with the sweaty, white hood wearing, torch waving racist fatasses in Houston.

Houston sucks, period.

Don't know. All I know is people can't seem to stay the f*ck out of our city. We got Laker fans flooding our city. My professor is from the south and he claims this city is the best kept secret in the country. Clean air, water, trees. Good summers. No sales tax.

It's becoming expensive to live here. I wish people would move to Seattle and skip Portland. Tired of seeing Laker fans at games.

Cowboy has been putting the ether down. Props and rep. Worst Nba city I've had the pleasure of visiting would be Cleveland, followed by Detroit. OKC is one of the fastest growing metros in the country, due to economic reasons, and unemployment is a big factor in that. All of the rust belt looks the same. Just poverty.

[Wonder Bread Kid]

OKC is one of the fastest growing metros in the country, due to economic reasons, and unemployment is a big factor in that.

This is not true. Since 2010, OKC has averaged 22,000 a year in population growth which is an average of 1.7 percent annual growth. Those are not "boom" numbers nor are they "fastest" in the country.

For example, the similarly sized but smaller metro area of Raleigh, NC grew by an average of 28,000 since 2010, which was an annual growth of 2.4 percent. Those are booming figures and some of the fastest in the US.

Raleigh is a lot smaller metro. But you are right Raleigh is faster, but look at top 20 cities, based on population and percentage growth. There are different articles about it but OKC is according to Forbes. I didn't say fastest just said one of.

Ranked 12th in a single year does not a fastest growing metro make. Again, not top 10 in any growth category. This is all great for a city yo use as PR but let's be realistic.

But the bottom line is, compared to the top 10 cities in growth, there's a sizable drop off which OKC lies in.

Your claim isn't that OKC is growing, your claim is that it's one of the fastest growing. Which, if to the unbiased eye, it isn't. So Forbes writing giving that distinction to any metro beating the national average won't change that.

But LA literally sprawls 50 miles in each direction. Those areas are just a tiny fraction of the greater LA metro area.

I am by no means trying to defend LA, because I'm not a fan of it myself, but the place is huge and can't be defined by any one neighborhood, district or city that make up the metro area.

I brought up Raleigh because it IS one of the fastest growing metro areas in the country and is of similar size to OKC.

Your claim was "in the country" not "NBA metros" therefore, your claim was not just referring to NBA cities/metro areas but to the entire country.

OKC is not top 10 in any of those categories. It's a growing metro area but it's not one of the fastest.

It's obvious OKC is one of the more sought after destinations for college graduates looking for a great quality of life & great career opportunities. Similar to the renaissance Austin/San Antonio is having, yet you are defending a notion that OKC should be in the same shithole status as Cleveland and Detroit.

Have you ever been to OKC? I've been to San Antonio at least 3 times. It's a great city, probably my favorite in Texas. My coworker spent a great deal of his career at your military base. He consistently has high regards about San Antonio, though he prefers OKC. :confusedshrug:

Last time I was at the riverwalk (August 2013), we mingled with a couple from Houston who was dying to move from Houston to OKC. Traffic and moral decay being the primary reasons. Side note: I had a drink with Gloria Estefan that night :pimp:

They don't. Quality of life issues play way more of a part on whether the average person feels some place is a "sh-thole." Having a job doesn't make a place less or more of a shithole. I'm sure there are people with jobs in Cleveland that consider Cleveland a sh-thole.

I doubt they're thinking: "If there were more jobs for people here, it'd be less of a sh-thole."

I have traveled to quite a few NBA cities, and live in San Antonio so here are my rankings of the cities I have actually visited:

New Orleans-Really cool and unique, lots of flavor no other place like it.
San Francisco- beautiful city, also one of a kind, lots of culture.
Chicago- has a great big city vibe, tons to do and see.
Boston- lots of history, museums, good food.
Portland-cool and laid back city.
San Antonio- good Mexican food and friendly people.
LA-tons to do but way too spread out and terrible traffic, I prefer San Diego.
Dallas-most big city feel in Texas IMO. Many attractions.
Phoenix- got some nice scenery, too hot though.
Salt Lake City- beautiful scenery nearby but actual city, meh.
Houston-urban sprawl, not great attractions considering the size.
Cleveland-cold gray and not that interesting
Milwaukee-see Clevland description

The constant brown of the desert southwest gets tiring very quickly if you like green landscapes. Grass, trees, plants, flowers, etc. Phoenix has very nice streetscapes (enviable design standards) but the mountains and dirt and rock yards getting mundane and saddening after just a few days.

Phoenix is an ugly city even if you transported it to a greener area

Phoenix is an ugly city even if you transported it to a greener area

Ugly is a bit harsh. It's a barren landscaped made to look beautiful but you can't ignore the fact that its void of much color or vegetation. A lot of rocks and dirt and brown. I do like their streetscapes though.

The city is divided into over 80 districts and neighborhoods,[46] many of which were incorporated places or communities that were annexed by the city.[47] Greater Los Angeles includes a number of enclaves and nearby communities. Generally, the city is divided into the following areas: Downtown Los Angeles, East Los Angeles and Northeast Los Angeles, South Los Angeles, the Harbor Area, Greater Hollywood, Wilshire, the Westside, and the San Fernando and Crescenta Valleys.

Some well-known communities within Los Angeles include West Adams, Watts, Leimert Park, Baldwin Hills, Venice, the Downtown Financial District, Silver Lake, Hollywood, Koreatown, Westwood and the more affluent areas of Bel Air, Benedict Canyon, Hollywood Hills, Los Feliz, Hancock Park, Pacific Palisades, Century City, and Brentwood.

INDIANAPOLIS - They call it "Nap Town" for a reason. BOOORING. Cow town. Its like watching paint dry.

HOUSTON - Country.

SACRAMENTO - More country.

DETROIT - Can be fun IF you know somebody. Otherwise it is a war zone.

NEW YORK - I like it when I visit. Rains all the time though. Statistically rains more than Seattle Wa.

CHICAGO - love it! Lots to do. Clean. Great restaurants, beaches and wonderful skyline. Love the nightlife. Word to the wise though - stay downtown, "near" south side, "near" west side, and the whole north side. That is the majority of the city. Do not go to the "far" south side unless you know somebody.

It's obvious OKC is one of the more sought after destinations for college graduates looking for a great quality of life & great career opportunities. Similar to the renaissance Austin/San Antonio is having, yet you are defending a notion that OKC should be in the same shithole status as Cleveland and Detroit.

Have you ever been to OKC? I've been to San Antonio at least 3 times. It's a great city, probably my favorite in Texas. My coworker spent a great deal of his career at your military base. He consistently has high regards about San Antonio, though he prefers OKC. :confusedshrug:

Last time I was at the riverwalk (August 2013), we mingled with a couple from Houston who was dying to move from Houston to OKC. Traffic and moral decay being the primary reasons. Side note: I had a drink with Gloria Estefan that night :pimp:

So tell me how OKC belongs in the same category as Cleveland/Detroit exactly

Moral decay?

Sounds to me like a reason NOT to move to boring ass OKC. The bar scene must be tremendous :oldlol:

[Wonder Bread Kid]

People wondering why they keep saying to stay out of the south side of Chicago. Watch Shameless on Showtime and you'll understand why. :oldlol:

[crawdaddy4ou]

Why does OKC have so many people shook? Tumbleweeds that was funny. Why give so much effort in bringing it down? Just shook over the team?

I don't even live in OKC but hell that town pisses a lot of people off.

Are they building that weird spire thing?

Asia has a few cool skylines, but yeah Chicago's is very impressive and tasteful.

Really? Read they filmed their exterior scenes on the south side of Chicago where the show is set, while they film interior scenes in LA on a sound stage.

It's not the Englewood area, the deep south side where all the murders occur.

[Wonder Bread Kid]

Just checked the locations of the homes used for the exterior shots. They seem to be on the west side of Chicago.

West Side is bad, but it's not the 100s.

Didn't Silk give props to SamuraiSwish for knowing how to use a computer ? Since he had to worry about being shot in duh head he didn't have proper education

Poor Jordan nut hugger

[mr.big35]

[Smook A.]

Nigguh Houston isn't in Chicago's class. GTFO outta here.

You can't even breathe in Houston the air is so thick.
Ight whateva

[Milbuck]

We're still on this? Houston is the biggest shithole in the world, period.

There is no other answer.

There is another answer.

It starts with an M and ends with an E... Its the team your shitty team plays in! Milwaukeee!

Have you ever been to cleveland? Probably not. It sucks
Have you been to detroit? Nah I dont think you have.

The only reason you say Houston is because of the guy you obsess over, James Harden. If James Harden was on another team, say Sacramento, you'd probably say Sacramento is the worst city. If he was in Detroit, then you'd say Detroit. Shit even if he was in LA or NYC you'd say they're the worst. Don't ****ing deny it :no:

Arrogant Houston fans :oldlol:

If I hate your city, it's not because of you guys, it's because I have some hatred against James Harden?

Get your head out of your ass. Forget James Harden, forget Patrick Beverley. Houston is just a massive shithole, the likes of which no one wants to live in. It's without a doubt the weakest city in the world, and that's a fact.

You probably haven't even been there before.

And you're the reason why I sound arrogant at times.

If you sound arrogant, it's because of me?

You're arrogent, breh. Accept it and move on...out of Houston.

I've honestly never been arrogant to anyone besides you, Marlo and Freeman.

[Milbuck]

I've honestly never been arrogant to anyone besides you, Marlo and Freeman.
So you're racist?

[El Gato Negro]

I've been to Cleveland,Milwaukee,Detroit,Chicago and Ny. Detroit is the worst but Ny and Chicago are not far behind. both are major shitholes i have no desire to go back to either.

Not D. C. doe :confusedshrug:

Obviously there are some shitty parts of every city, including D. C. I'm from Baltimore though and everyone considers Baltimore to be a shit hole. 15 years ago I would have agreed with you; however, Baltimore has drastically improved in the past 15 years.
