Re: Is New York still the "Mecca" of basketball?
I don't understand how it isn't. A title like this is timeless. Once the playoffs start again, the atmosphere in this building will be unbelievable, and people will be posting up threads about "wow, how great was the screaming of the fans, the intensity of the crowd, the atmosphere"

The label has little to do with the success of their NBA team...
It's a basketball city; from street basketball to endorsements to the media. If NY had similar success as LA or Boston has had in the past; the reputation the city would get, would far exceed that of Boston or even LA.

No, but new yorkers think it is.
LA is the best basketball city, we got the lakers with the most titles in the NBA, another franchise with a huge fanbase, and UCLA, the best college basketball team of all time
LA also doesnt have a pro football team, basketball is the top sport there

That title never had anything to do with the Knickerbockers.

Re: Is New York still the "Mecca" of basketball?
I give it to LA in this day and age. UCLA, Lakers, Clippers. Staples Center since built has had more memorable performances then MSG in the past 10 years. The only reason I would give it to NY is due to its rich street ball history.
