Personally I'd love to have a winter home in Denver, but the only reason would be the skiing and snowboarding. If I was a ball player I doubt I would be skiing/snowboarding much. lol
Just curious - Of those who list LA , NYC , Boston and Chicago , how many of you have actually visited those places ? NYC and Chicago are two of the dirtiest places Ive ever traveled to .... If I were to choose strictly based upon location - Miami , hands down. Too bad Houston doesnt have beaches like South Padre instead of the muddy waters of the central gulf.
I would choose LA first and Houston second. Miami is probably the city I like least in the whole U.S. among major cities.
Golden State, NYC, Miami, LA. All have their +/-, tough to decide among the 4. I'd throw in Vancouver if the Grizzlies were still there.
I'd wait for Sac to move to San Diego. And then play there. Or I'd go back in time and play for the San Diego Rockets.
Miami, New York, L.A., Chicago. Houston is on the list, but only because it's my hometown, and I'm a die-hard fan. I think Miami and New York are an easy 1 and 2 though.
I'm a Pacific Northwest kind of person, so Portland. I'm still sometimes tempted to leave Seattle and move to Portland.
I can't stand cold weather, so I'd be limited to one of the following: Phoenix, Los Angeles, Houston, San Antonio, New Orleans, Atlanta, Orlando, or Miami And out of those teams, I'd probably go with either Houston or San Antonio.
I have been to most NBA cities and I didn't pick LA/NYC/Boston precisely because I have spent significant time in those cities and have problems with them...getting around those cities is a huge pain. But I do like Chicago and wouldn't lump it in with LA/Boston/NY. Miami is like Vegas east coast(minus gambling but plus beaches) - fun place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.
