re: Eric Gordon: New Orleans a "pretty good" city

The guy doesn't like the city and it's obvious.

... but if it helps you make it through your bowl of cheerios we'll just say he loves nola for the sake of keeping the sunshine pumping

The man's choice of words show his lack of enthusiasm in my opinion, and that's ok. It's very understandable. Not many people outside of new orleans would choose to move there to work. It's not a nice place to raise children, work, live etc compared to most sports towns.

eta: People say things like "it's pretty good" when they don't like something (a job) but they want to sound positive to please other people when asked if they like something..


You're still slightly backtracking. I suppose you could go to every single NBA city and find star players who are fine living in that city during the season but who would not make their home in that town. And they live elsewhere in the offseason. They may prefer to live at the beach, or in a more urban area or in their hometown. Who knows? But the tenor of your posts goes beyond that.

My point if that there is no objective evidence to suggest that Gordon dislikes the idea of living in New Orleans anymore than he would anywhere else. We can speculate that he'd like to live in his home state of Indiana. But we would be speculating.
