    I don't mind what Jalen says as long as he's prepared to receive the wrath from Pistons fans when the Rockets play in Detroit. Show up in that game and let your skills do the talking.

    As for the people/fans of Detroit getting bent over this comment...like maybe wake up?

    Yeah, nobody ever says "I'm going on vacation to Detroit." What is the problem here? :D

    Don't know Detroit but Fresno is pretty bad. There's really nothing to do there either. You're either heading up to Yosemite or out to the Central Coast. Either way, you're leaving Fresno.

    And I'd like to think that played into Jalen's response. Like, "Why do I want to go into the almost exact environment as the one I just left?". Houston has its own warts for sure but I haven't seen any data that shows people migrating to Detroit/Michigan like they are with Houston/Texas.

    People are ignorant. Houston is a hot spot. Only a couple hours from the Texas hill country and some of the best food in the world. Excellent night life and some of the most beautiful women you have ever seen. Everyone who is anyone has been to houston. Houston >Detroit by a mile. And not to mention only 45 mins from Galveston beaches? [​IMG]

    I saw a doc on Youtube with Jalen saying it was really tough growing up there.

    I said altercations are the norm in sports meaning both verbal and physical.

    Don’t bend my point to hide the fact that you’re being obtuse af.

    Somebody claiming a city is boring and that there’s nothing to do is a mild take.

    Charles Barkley used to go on TV and joke about San Antonio and Big Women.

    Vernon Maxwell ***** on Utah all the time.

    LeBron publicly said he didn’t pick Gobert and Donovan Mitchell for the allstar game because they play for Utah.

    How many examples have to presented to you before you stop being dense?

    Fans themselves criticize other cities all the time.

    nah you didn't. you literally just tried to use a punch as an example as if it's normal and part of sports. Poor attempt to backtrack instead of admitting it was a poor claim.

    I couldn't careless how many examples you try to use to defense JG. He's been talking way too much and now it's gotten to the point where hes taking it outside of what even matters. Yeah for his sake, he better be ready for what hes putting on himself

    since you want to stick your nose in the middle of it, I said there's a difference between trash talk when it comes to actual basketball and then everything else outside of that. And nah no where did I say the former doesn't happen. Learn how to read. You obviously don't get the difference. I wouldn't expect ignorance to

    Rockets fans just know what it’s like to have their city pooped on haha as king as you don’t talk about the people and just say there’s nothing to do there who cares about it.
