Kind of sad if you include strip clubs as a priority in a quality of life assessment.
Why would a white guy speak as a black NBA player?? Or let me get this straight you're saying if a white guy made a list for "top 5 cities for white guys" Why would anyone be offended by that unless one of his reasons were "ideal place for a white guy is a lack of miniorities" Other then would see no problem if it's not in a superior manner.

I think a lot of young men regardless of race or NBA status take strip clubs into account when considering a place.

In the case of NBA players (seeing as they're young AND have a lot of money), it's probably a higher priority.

Don't really see what's sad about it. Who cares?

I think baseball players take the cake in the marrying a stripper dpt. And thats the whitest sport here.

Jalen is obviously being silly about it. But with the amount of athletes that make Houston home, it isnt a surprise pro athletes like it here.

That's because there is too much P.C. crap in this country now. I'm black and if a white guy made a top five cites for white people I wouldn't give a damn. If they did it probably would go something like this.

Top five cities for white NBA players

1. Toronto
2.Portland
3. Minneapolis
4.Utah
5.Boston

LOL I'm black too and I agree, who cares if a white guy was to pick the top five NBA cities for white players? I could see Bill Simmons doing something like that on Grantland one day though.

Oh yeah by the way, I don't think Utah is on the top five of any professional athlete's list...
