Iverson,Dawk, Barkley obviously all prime personification examples of Philadelphia.

I think this year's rookie class of QBs landing where they all did is especially fascinating: White,goofy, but hardworking Luck landing in Indy...Griffin being a hyper-athletic Obama figure in DC...Tannehill being a dumb lame bamma in the dumb lame bamma capital of Miami...and Russell Wilson being overlooked, unorthodox, but a lot of fun much like Seattle. And Kaepernick was a second year guy, but if you were to go into a lab to devise the perfect 49ers quarterback for 2012 and beyond I can't imagine you'd come out with someone who better represents his city than this kid.

Be sure to differentiate between the player being a perfect representation of his host city versus being a perfect fit for his specific team. Case in point; Derek Jeter is a great representation of how special New York can be, whereas Amare Stoudemire's habitually hurt fire-extinguisher-punching dumb ass is just a perfect Knick.

Like, ever.

There is literally nothing about him that fits
well with New York City.

Its weird, New Yorkers will tell you--he's not a presence
in NY AT ALL. Zero. Unlike Jeter who is Mr. New York.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

Eli is underrated when he wins and loses here in NY, or perhaps I have that perspective because I'm not a huge Giants fan, but Eli isn't targeted by the NYC Sports media crosshairs as much as a two time Superbowl winning quaterback playing for NYC should be considering how poorly he tends to play at times.

Tebow's a pretty bad fit too. He likes the attention and all, but I think he thought his faith would be a bigger deal in NYC than it is. It seems like even NYChristians don't really care about that in an athlete.

Tebow's main problem was not getting on the field, so
we have no real reason to speculate either way.

We've had plenty of time to see Eli's relationship
with the city, and the city has boatloads of reason
to like him.

He aint Jeter or Namath, no, he is not even Gay Rod with his desperate attempts to embrace New Yorkness. There is nothing slick or city about Manning and he is not an attention whore but I think he handles the pressure and the media very well. I am not sure he is a great fit for New York but he is thriving there and taking its unique challenges in stride.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

things.

His aw shucksness is great for handling the media b/c everything rolls off him and he doesn't seem to care.

but at the same time he's won twice...so he gets handled with kid gloves.

If he hadn't won and still bombed like he can on occasion, everything about his personality would get roasted by the media.

I'm just saying that he's NOT A PRESENCE in NY culture
AT ALL

He's literally a guy who flies in and plays QB and LEAVES

He has no presence, no aura, no essence, nothing. He has
left no impression on New Yorkers. No New Yorker has ever
seen him, been to an event where he was speaking, etc.
When you think of New York City, you don't think Eli Manning
AT ALL. Not because he's from Lousiana, but because he's
just not a part of New York life, culture, anything at all
ever.


Its not a bad thing. But it is odd for a 2-time winning
Superbowl playing in New York City.

Hell, Mark Sanchez was a bigger presence in NYC two years
ago and had 1/400th the talent and accomplishments

Again: none of this is bad, but it is noticeable

Their style of play was very NY...off the court maybe not.

Taking the one thing that makes you slightly different than everyone else and obnoxiously turning it all the way up to the max.

Riles ain't have the guns for Showtime so he picked the only team
who successfully beat Showtime, Jordan and the Celtics

Almost worked

But to say that style of play is NY is nah

Plus, NY play isn't really gritty fundamental shit

Its rough, but is very showy

Derek Harper might be the least showy nigga ever

maybe for niggas that don't make it lol but to me ny is gritty, hard working, willing to do the dirty work. NY style could also be pretty and flashy but nyers prefer substance over style on the court from their athletes.

personification of that city, not what athlete is a personification of "how the sport is played in that city"

so those knicks players were representative of the culture of ny (hardworking, gritty, etc) not ny's style of basketball...which is why those players were appreciated so much.

which is why guys like John starks/oak/mason get so much love from ny.

so i guess it comes down to your interpretation.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

I can see Mason is a different story

He got more love in NY than he did in Charlotte,
and he was an all-star in Charlotte

Mason is NY because of the smoothness and controlled
niggerishness of his steez

It wasn't all attitude and that dumb shit

He was really fucking good for a little while

Among the best 2-guard defenders in all of
basketball

And a streaky, but good shooter

You acting like he was a guy who averaged
8 points per game but gave the opposition
hell

so yes he was good and had a couple of really good seasons but its not like he was a multiple all-star. So the love ny had for him was more about his effort/attitude then actually how good of a player he was.

He was a good defender but never was an efficient scorer.

That might have been a reach but the dude (who was in his late teens early 20s) said Perk never blazed. He was his blood nephew, had all sorts of pictures with him and shit.

It kinda makes sense, I mean what is our basis for his stoniness? That he looked stoned on the court? I doubt he was.

Those locks late in his career definitely threw some gas on that fire though lol.

Meanwhile Brian Grant was getting zero love, even though you know he was letting Jah be praised at halftime.

Naaaaaw son. BG got mad love up here in the Pac NW too. Calabro would comment on him all the time.

it's like when he got the ball it looked like he shot in slow motion.
