I think alot of you who say you've "lived" or visited in new york, Really was in jersey or connecticut or something

I'm going to have to agree with this. The best conversations and real people I have ever met was New Yorkers. Nothing elitist or arrogant about any of them.

I have a feeling you're right. NYC is expensive to visit. And a lot of people probably refrain from exploring the city and seeing its major attractions for that reason.

I think he heads to Jersey only if they get John Wall.

This post pretty much sums up why more than a few people dislike New Yorkers and their attitudes. Every crossroads in this country has something to be proud of.

You didn't really just say that NYers are some of the most down to earth people, did you?

Down to earth-
a. Not pretentious or affected; straightforward.
b. Not overly ornate; simple in style.

If you really think this describes Nyers then I must have only thought I lived there for 25 years and was actually living somewhere else.

John Wall = 2010 version of OJ Mayo
Good player, but any team who thinks he is gonna come in and be an instant difference maker is wasting a pick IMO

Yeah but the NBA drafts off potential and John Wall exudes potential which is why he will be one of the top picks in the draft.
