Personally, I don't give a shit what anyone outside of NY thinks regarding basketball. Or anything. The rest of the country is urban sprawl.

Do not feel badly because you don't live in NY. You're real estate was significantly cheaper, and you probably have less rush hour traffic. BUT, should you decide to visit, and come to a basketball game in our beautiful city, please watch this important video first, before deplaning:
