REAL TALK. NYC IS KNOWN WITH TRADITION OF BASKETBALL PERIOD!!!! BUT I'M FROM BROOKLYN & THE NAMES THAT ARE ON HERE IS ENDLESS!!!! TO ME BROOKLYN IS THE BEST BOROUGH FOR BASKETBALL!!! THAT'S HOW I LEARN THE GAME WITH TOUGHNESS!!!! BIG UP TO THE OTHER BOROUGHS TOO.
In 1980s Dunbar High School BALTIMORE would have ran through every borough in NYC.... Especially 81-83 not even close that includes NYC privates and public programs.
It's Carmelo was born in New York City on May 29, 1984 and raised in Brooklyn's South Side neighborhood of Red Hook. It's Red Hook West Houses an apartment housing projects street address 79 Lorraine Street
is new york a bit overrated when it comes to producing nba talent though?? i mean new york always screams how much talent comes out of it, but is it any more than chicago? who have produced isiah , d rose, d wade? or how about carolina? who have produced mj, garnett, etc. or orlando- who produced vince carter, and t mac. i just think - new york - great city- amazing basketball culture, its the mecca, but it overrates itself in terms of how much nba talent has made it.
just to make my point, croatia- is a country of 4 million people. 4 million!!!! about a quarter of new york city- right? and they've produced like 30 nba players over the years- if they were the size of say- new york? a fifth of the nba would be from there, if they were the size of the usa- half the league would be croat. i know it dosent work like that -but i just never hear about them bragging about how much talent they produce- but new york man- never shuts up bout being new york. i do love new york though.....nothin but love..
"MJ was BORN in brooklyn ... " do you understand i never said anything about him being raised because like the rest of the ppl that liked me reposting my quote ... we like the rest of the world know MJ was raised in NC ... thank you captain obvious, your services are no longer needed
To much hype about basketball, to be real the Nets and the Knicks sucks for a long time, and there are too few players who became relevant NBA champs born and raised at NYC. Im a big fan of the city, but at basketball the truth is, its only a hype.
Brooklyn players are shit. Stephon Marbury, Sebastian Telfair and Lance Stephenson...Brooklyn and the NYC area is a bit overrated. They havn't produced a superstar pro athlete. And please don't tell me Melo and Jordan. They were only born in NYC not raised...

claude moreno False Bronx is
Sebastian Telfair is a crazy baller. I wish more teams gave him a chance.
The only problem about NYC is that they produce so many great players but they don't played for either Knicks or Nets

In Long Island we produced dr j!!
Lots of talent but no development
Long Island is one of the best places in the New York Metropolitan area
So they mention lance Stephenson but not melo?
Melo grew up in Ohio, but you are right, he was born in Brooklyn
oh my fault but he didn't grow up in brooklyn
Nicholas Friscia melo was raised in red hook in Brooklyn search it up
***** you got it all wrong melo was born in a hospital in New Zealand
Melo moved from broke around 7-9 years old then he moved to bmore
I live five blocks from gursh

"MJ was BORN in brooklyn ... "
StylezYung He was raised in North Carolina, went to college in North Carolina and brought a NBA team in North Carolina.
"MJ was BORN in brooklyn ... "

MJ gets no love for being born in Brooklyn. He is from North Carolina.
Michael Jordan?
Lets go Celtics
+NBA fan Boston sucks..........alot.....come to Brooklyn!!!
+Ephraim Efosa Boston may suck but Brooklyn is irrelavent to the NBA now

+Ephraim Efosa the thing is Brooklyn is way worse then Boston
NBA fan How is that? We have produced better nba players in NBA history
OMG FIRST COMMENT
I don't see any white guys and there are white guys in Brooklyn

Micheal Jordon ?
Carmelo Anthony?
Kareem just told you himself how high of a level basketball is played here. We just don't perfect the craft to transfer it into the NBA I admit.
Christen Code Hold up I take this comment back now that I sat back and watched these videos. We produced HOFs.
Christen Code My bad I didn't watch the video through out...But lately all I seen is Marbury, Telfair and Stephenson and those three are horrible..
