Why aren't there many NBA players that were from New York?

On the low...Seattle is grooming tons of great B-Ball talent.

I just don't get the cow NY bashing masquerading as a question thing in here.

Niqqas are corny with it.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Mount Vernon, NY -
Ben Gordon
Kevin Jones
Andre Drummond

Syracuse -
Andray Blatche

NYC has more black people in it than any other city in the US, the biggest issue is coaching and how kids in the city are being developed. They aren't getting the type of coaching that produces quality players. Also, you have a lot of black people moving out of state, it's why there's been an upswing in talent in the Eastern parts of Connecticut, and why NJ is producing players now.

But really, it all comes down to coaching.

I can't watch these niqqas play ball out there. So many niqqas labeling themselves as coaches and aren't teaching them jack.

Plus...a lot of foreign blacks have replaced the African Americans moving out of the city. They aren't into basketball nearly as much as the old base.

They stay converting any kid that's 6"6 into a PF, even if the kid has perimeter skills, nah you're on the low block. I mean eventually that's going to work and one of these kids is going to have a growth spurt that shoots them up to 6"10 to 7"0 but for the most part these coaches fukking suck.

Even with foreign blacks you should still be able to produce talent, Ben Gordon and Drummond are Jamaican, and the majority of black people in MV are Jamaican yet they continue to churn out prospects despite having a population of 60,000. That just tells me it's all coaching, I know the MV head coach doesn't like/let his players do national AAU circuits in the offseason. They start having tryouts for their Junior Knights in like 4th grade :laugh: and the middle school & JV team basically play the same type of system as the HS squad, they have program built to make & develop players from a young age.


The same thing is happening in Upstate NY with the Jamesville-Dewitt HS, they have a small black population yet they just had a McDonalds All American and won something like 4 state titles straight, 4 or 5 different D1 prospects.
