The Fresh Prince

Both from NY. Seem to have a lot of chemistry built already.

Shout-out to the front office for building a very compatible locker room (minus Rudy incident, which we seemed to have moved along from)

Welllllll, yeah but kind of tenuous.

Mitchell was born in Elmsford, but spent his formative years in the suburbs of Connecticut.

Hughes is from Beacon, which was a dreary upstate NY dump. It's since been gentrified.

I lived in NYC for 25 years so I'm more than a little sensitive about what people consider New York.

And by sensitive, I mean snobbish, lol
And Donovan's not even really an NYC kid. Westchester aint NYC, although it often tries to be.
 
This is the kind of crap Hughes is liking on his twitter:



He's making no secret that as soon as he pops here, he's heading to the Knicks.

100% correct.

Like folks from Long Island that like to say they're from NYC.

As they used to say when I was a kid - you're in NYC when you travel 10 blocks and never leave the scene of a crime.

He gone
 
Mitchell was always a kid from the New Hampshire area... Massachusetts..


People usually, like many other animals who possesses lesser intelligence, are territorial for the sake of being territorial. Often for the sake of their own feelings, like this thread is about. Knowing the differences in the territories does serve a much more practical purpose in the realm of basketball recruiting, because there's ever changing and unbalanced levels of competition to face in certain areas that are dense and scarce with talent, year over year or decade over decade.


BAck in the series of posts I made about Noah Vonleh I did explain why there are great sleepers from that area, specifically how u have like top100 guys that arent seen int hat light and fly way under the radar til their like seniors in HS, and boom not just a few years later Mitchell is a star and he's from that area and was highly ranked but not like craaazy highly ranked.

sports illustrated did show the dunk of him before he ever played a game in college... and thats when he was mentioned here.. When I made the first post about D. Mitchell on this forum, i was making a post about a kid from the New Hampshire area, not a new yorker...

If Mitchell is a New Yorker tho then so is Michael Jordan -- the greatest 4th quarter player ever. As a NY'er who's lived in all the boroughs cept Staten Island, we take these trades.

Hey speaking of NY basketball... We've got a pretty good team this year, ever heard of Kevin Durant? or Kyrie Irving?

Let’s smoke weed together
 
@oneye is our man in New York, where is he?
Have you ever seen the Robert De Niro movie The Fan? De Niro plays a guy who's a super fan of a baseball player (Wesley Snipes). He signs with his favorite team (the Giants) and De Niro praises him ceaselessly, and hates when he's slumping and feels like everyone is turning on him. Anyway, he ends up feeling unappreciated by Snipes and eventually goes full-on against him. Anyway, you should watch the trailer.
