How is Nola a top 10 city, especially for blacks? I guess it could be by process of elimination bc places like Milwaukee exist

Most black nba players probably don't even enjoy Nola for the reasons it is to be enjoyed: history, culture, food, music etc

They like spending money on extravagant things and having places to show it off. Clubs and parties, opportunities to "stunt". Nola isn't really like that.

Holy generalization Batman!!! Definitely JR and probably Baron but has there been another Hornets/Pelican who fits this description? I doubt we're finding guys way outside of the norm.

Well, it isn't LA, NYC, Chicago or Miami, no doubt. But Houston, Dallas and Atlanta have nothing except population.

Whatever. The fact is that NO won't have any more of an issue than any other city if it develops a competitive basketball culture. This is the second season of Benson ownership. For frick's sake, we have to be at least a little bit reasonable. Frankly, I think the fact that we lured Evans and Ryno are is at least a little bit encouraging. Give it time. We have time to make this a place where AD wants to stay.

Bc New Orleans is so black. It was neck with DC for the chocolate city nick name at one point. I think Jalen Rose put Nola third overall in his top cities for black athletes. But again what cities are like that in terms of celebrity and money and VIP status? NY, LA, and Miami. Maybe Houston and Dallas and Atlanta and Chicago. Although that's more population for the last group

Let's list cities with less or equal to Nola: OKC, Portland, Orlando, Charlotte, Memphis, Boston, Cleveland, Sacramento, Milwaukee, Detroit, Toronto, Indianapolis, Washington, Salt Lake City, San Antonio,
