New York city is mostly comprised of blacks now from other countries. Niqqas that have huge soccer tournaments like Antigua vs. Jamaica.

Niqqas are in the parks playing cricket. It's a different dynamic here now.

Dog...you know nothing about out here...and its obvious.

Why do you niqqas do this?

i aint a hater.

The Public School Athletic League is underfunded and a joke. Kids nowadays rather dress up in Soho in saggy skinny pants than play ball anymore. When I went to school in the 90s, there were lots of top ballers here in the city and it was almost like your pass of right in your neighborhood.

Lincoln, Grady, Mt. Vernon, Xavier high to name a few were schools that put out good NBA product.

If you werent a tough guy or a baller then you stayed your ass inside. The parks where I grew up no longer contain kids playing ball but rather some derelicts having gang meetups to go mobbin.

I play in a charity league twice a week in a NYC public school and theres no way they play JV let alone varsity ball in this gym where the floors are so dusty that if you pivot you may tear your achilles. Its sad but its the truth. NYC is becoming a city of rich foreigners where public education is the last concern of those who run it.

It's still weird to you when I gave you an answer?

You not being satisfied with it shows how phony you are in regards to being open to any answer. You think you have one already.
