The Mag: Importance of an athlete's background

Contrary to popular perception, poverty and broken homes are underrepresented in the NBA, not overrepresented. For example, while 45 percent of black male children in the U.S. live in households earning no more than 150 percent of the poverty line ($22,050 for a family of four in 2010), just 34 percent of black athletes in the NBA grew up in that financial situation, according to Dubrow and Adams.

According to research conducted in 2009 by The Mag, NBA players come from hometowns with a median population of around 110,000, and that population is 59 percent white and as educated as the U.S. as a whole.

Yeah some of these players from the hood in their cities.

South Bronx, West side of Rochester, and Bushwick, Brooklyn are hoods in New York state.

Anthony being an NBA player son grew up in Manhattan penthouses.

I know being from the city and hood is different.
