The principle behind the law makes sense...it's just not used well...or its used in cases where the defendant is clearly guilty...
New York people couldnt understand "stand your ground" or self defense for that matter. They are barely allowed to own guns.


Maybe because New York City is so crowded and they can't get the exercise that kids in other cities can get?
Thats the one reason i couldnt see myself living there. I like the place but way too damn crowded. You have people living on top of people over there and it's not like they're poor.

If anything its the internet and video games
It's not that :comeon:

Chicago, DC and Seattle have produced great NBA talent over the last decade, you telling me those kids don't use the internet and play videogames? That's not a New York thing. :mindblown:

It's not gentrification either, because there's plenty of hoods in the Bronx and Brooklyn that are just about exclusively black and Latino, uptown in Manhattan is majority black and Latino. It's because the city dynamic has changed due to some of the aforementioned reasons.

New York doesn't really produce anything of value actually...in sports there's not a single new York team worth mentioning (dnt count that one new York team in New Jersey who won the super bowl twice )...in music , well wats more to say about that? That's like kicking a dead horse...in politics, 3 straight governors being investigated for corruption...let's face it folks Florida is where it's at...we leading the country in every category specially for blacks...

NYC still has plenty of majority African American hoods, and the most African Americans in the nation (not per capita, but still). I know about all the foreign born blacks moving in, but the idea that there's not tons of African a Americans in the city and that most communities are becoming white washed simply ain't true. :manny:

I've balled with plenty of NY dudes(not organized/high school but pickup games and tournaments). They're not garbage by any means, but alot of them are some straight up ball-hogs.

so many Allen Iverson types from NY. (and I know AI is from Virginia but that's not the point) I can see why some teams would want to shy away from that...

Bed Stuy and Bville is really the only majority African American neighborhoods left in BK. And there's still a major exodus of blacks leaving this city. I also said they are being replaced by foreign blacks. And Out of the 10 zip codes that have seen the fastest rate of gentrification, Brooklyn alone had three.

Dats why Miami and Florida in particular is a better option...surrounded by beaches...lots of land...low unemployment rate...Miami got over 100 different ethnicities so watever your taste in women is you will find what you like...I ain't even mention the 75 degree weather year round...

Yea that's how ny nikkas are...

When you are on AAU teams that travel, you want to get your shine on...

Add to that the typical ny nikka arrogant traits, that's a recipe to get overlooked by coaches etc
