New York is the MECCA of what we all like to call basketball ya know. you are out your god damned mind if you think the players these days don't know this!

the mecca? of basketball?

lets get real.

my team has sucked just as long as yours so miss me with the sob story about how youre a loyal fan. i was making celtic threads long before garnett and allen came to town. where were you?

 

[Mr. Nice Guy]

the mecca? of basketball?

lets get real.

For real, we all know that is Seattle!

Seattle is nation's most fertile NBA training ground

The Sonics are long gone, but Seattle still has a strong presence in the National Basketball Association.

According to Seth Kolloen at thesunbreak.com, Seattle sends more high schoolers per capita to the NBA than any city in America. By a huge margin.

Chicago has more players in the league (13), but the Windy City also has a much bigger population. Seattle has nine representatives who have played in an NBA game this season. That mean's for every 1 million city residents, there are 15.04 players in the NBA. Miami is second a 9.68 players per million.

Check out Kolloen's full report here, including some of the methodology.

But if James, Wade and Bosh truly want to make history, they could do the unthinkable and split the Knicks' $33 million three ways. It would cost them salary money, but can you imagine how much they'd make on the back end if they started reeling in NBA titles? In New York?

 

[gimpypimp]

See what I'm saying? ESPN wants Lebron in New York...they've been saying it on the air and in articles like this for two years.

In New York? How about in fuckin' Cleveland? Lebron would be a god forever loved.

He talks about making money on the backend...and in the same article says that he made 42.5 million last year...more than Britney Spears, Jay-Z or Tom Cruise and almost as much as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie combined.

Lebron doesn't need New York...New York needs Lebron.

 

[Mr. Nice Guy]

See what I'm saying? ESPN wants Lebron in New York...they've been saying it on the air and in articles like this for two years.

You don't think that statement you just made supports the argument that Lebron would get significantly more sponsorship in NY?

In New York? How about in fuckin' Cleveland? Lebron would be a god forever loved.

True. He would also most likely make less money and live in one of the worst metropolitan areas in the country (including factors such as weather which are relatively unchangeable)

He talks about making money on the backend...and in the same article says that he made 42.5 million last year...more than Britney Spears, Jay-Z or Tom Cruise and almost as much as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie combined.

The article also suggests that by taking reduced salary to play in NY with another first tier free agent (or two) that the increased monies realized on the backend would offset any loss he takes on the front end

Lebron doesn't need New York...New York needs Lebron.

True. But this isn't about needs, it's about wants.

 

[short]

lebron dont give a fuck about cleveland now that hes a free agent...hes just gonna go where the money is...even with future hall of famer antwon jameson on the team lebron is gonna realize that the cavs aint gonna win a title in the near future

 

[gimpypimp]

You don't think that statement you just made supports the argument that Lebron would get significantly more sponsorship in NY?

No...I think it would benefit everyone else far more.

True. He would also most likely make less money and live in one of the worst metropolitan areas in the country (including factors such as weather which are relatively unchangeable)

How would he makes LESS money? The article even says he would make 30 million more by staying Cleveland. And the Cavs can pay him his max contract.

He can live anywhere he wants in the offseason...he has the money. And he's from Cleveland...all his friends are there...and I'm sure he used to the weather.

The article also suggests that by taking reduced salary to play in NY with another first tier free agent (or two) that the increased monies realized on the backend would offset any loss he takes on the front end.

You are correct...the guy who works at ESPN suggests that...it doesn't make it true.

True. But this isn't about needs, it's about wants.

New York wants Lebron...I've never heard Lebron say he wants New York.

 

[Rossibreath]

Lol @ t-mac a hofer

 

[gimpypimp]

Now please tell me again why Lebron would want to play for the Knicks?

I mean...anything can happen, but they sure didn't sell themselves very well last night.

 

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Now please tell me again why Lebron would want to play for the Knicks?

I mean...anything can happen, but they sure didn't sell themselves very well last night.

Using that game to justify why or why not Lebron would want to play for the Knicks is illogical because he would be playing on a completely different Knicks team.


Even if the Knicks had blown Cleveland out, that shouldn't have swayed his opinion either.

 

[gimpypimp]

haha illogical...ok.

That team sucks donkey balls...and best believe that game makes an impression...especially when the media keeps asking him if he can play for a team that they just killed.
