Top 5 worst NBA cities according to Jared Dudley!

[Allanon]

Memphis is serious good food and lots of loose women.

Sactown and SLC suck. Philly I think was pretty cool and so was Portland.

[HarlemHeat37]

Philly is the only city I've been to on that list, and I left after a few hours(I was on a road trip to Charlotte)..

I don't see the point of going to any of those other cities, they're all irrelevant..

[Girasuck]

Sorry but if you're a professional athlete and the biggest reason why you want or don't want to play for a team is the night life, you won't be very successful.

[23LeBronJames23]

Who is Jared Duley?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Depends on what you view as successful.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Aggree with all except Memphis

Who said anything about wanting to play for those teams? Jared Dudley is a Phoenix Sun and will remain a Phoenix Sun for many years. He's talking about cities he has to visit during road games.

Who is Jared Duley?

My favorite player in the league. Dude's a ing badass on the court and great to his fans.

[Bob Lanier]

He's from San Diego. Ugh.

Mark Cuban on how he prevents players from partying:

"There's tricks of the trade. All it takes is having our security guy walking the halls at 2 a.m. or getting the key card entry times for players' rooms at the hotel. I don't do it on a daily basis, but if I don't trust somebody, like I said, there was somebody we put out to pasture. I didn't trust them as far as I could throw them. ... You can't be out partying the night before a game. Period. End of story. Now if we got a day off and you're out getting trashed and you can deal with it. And it takes you less than a day to recover. Which for a 20-year-old hopefully it can. Go ahead. Tear it up. I don't care. On the flip side, you have to be ready to play. You have to be ready to practice."

On the least problematic town for partying:.

"Salt Lake City."

Josh Howard?

True, once some friends and I spent a night in Salt Lake City to watch a Hockey game. Bars were closed, so we trashed the hotel room. Ah the good ol' days. I bet the hard to repaint the ceiling after we left.

I didn't know they had bars in Salt Lake City. Coulda sworn they never left the Prohibition era.

[jack sommerset]

Anytime there is a top 5 worse cities and SA is not on it, it's wrong.

[pauls931]

I didn't know they had bars in Salt Lake City. Coulda sworn they never left the Prohibition era.

They're just closed most of the time/early.

[da_suns_fan]

My favorite player in the league. Dude's a ing badass on the court and great to his fans.

He might be my new favorite player. This guy is the "Anti-Amare". All bball IQ, all hustle, and makes HUGE plays. He's got a great stroke from 3 too.

You know who he reminds me of? Charles Barkley!!!!!

























................without the athleticsm.

My wife's family is from SLC (shes not Mormon).

You have to have a membership to go to bars or know someone who has a membership. All the drinks are served with less than a shot of alcohol, so you have to order a side-cart to taste the booze.

Yeah....it sucks.

The skiing is fantastic though.

[tlongII]

Portland has great restaurants actually. There's not many black people here compared to most cities so maybe that's why it's on his list?

[J_Paco]

Jared obviously didn't see the video

[Xylus]

Weather was probably a deciding factor in his picking Portland.

[Bob Lanier]

Someone from Phoenix has no right to complain about weather.

[The TroutBum]

Nah, the SLC is great for everything BUT drinking. Anyone who says that the city sucks hasn't been here, which is all good w/ me. Think about it:

No blacks.
Clean.
Hardly any Mexicans.
Hardly any Lakers fans. (see above)
No humidity.
Low crime rate.
Good schools.
Good eats.
Super fine ass women. Trust me on this one.
And best of all, no black people. It's awesome.

So, is Cuban talking about Josh Howard?

As for SLC, quite apart from the fact that they wouldn't serve me a beer in a bar before the game because I was wearing a Spurs jersey, I had a great night out after the game in a smoky jazz bar across the road from the motel.

[Xylus]

Someone from Phoenix has no right to complain about weather.

That's an interesting thing to say considering many of the people who move to Phoenix do so for the weather.

[Ode to Triple Ocho]

and great to his fans.

The real question is why Jared Dudley has fans.

[Will Hunting]

The real question is why Jared Dudley has fans.

That question is almost as dumb as all of your basketball opinions. Believe it or not, most people watch basketball for stuff other than slobbing Kobe's knob.
