Oklahoma City is a great city to live in. Different strokes for different folks.

The real stain on Oklahoma is the 43 year old who lives with his mom in Ardmore who pretends to live the life of the rich and famous, posting fake pictures of C list celebrities/washed up athletes he interacts with, then gets schooled on pretty much any topic he ventures to enter the ring on. (Capital gains/taxes, payroll/income taxes, sports books, etc) Then as if to get revenge for getting bullied growing up in Davis and getting cut from the Davis middle school freshmen B basketball team, he takes shots at his fellow Oklahoman's, live from his portal to the world in his mom's basement.

lol @ this from Gasol.

"During Gasol's meeting with Brooks, according to a league source, the 13-year veteran peppered Brooks with questions about the quality of life in Oklahoma City and wondered aloud about leaving a culturally diverse city like Los Angeles for middle America."

When Oklahomans make an ass of of themselves people notice and sadly it's become a regular occurrence.

Not everybody wants to live in a place like LA or California. Culturally diverse isn't always a good thing.

Culturally diverse isn't always a good thing.

It's what made the USA what it is. The melting pot. All the most successful areas that make the USA go are extremely diverse.

lol @ playmakr. Typical dolt. If he was given a test on the US tax code past and present he would flunk. It's OK. Low IQ worker bees have a place in the richest county in the world too. I'm all for states rights. Let states refuse to raise the minimum wage, increase guns, cut education standards and funding, execute people, deny birth FDA approved birth control, pass racist immigration laws, etc so smart people and companies know where to avoid.

I have no desire to debate this with you, b/c neither of us are going to change your mind. But your comment above, isn't necessarily true. Depends how you define "success", I suppose. But here is a link that shows otherwise. How diverse are the states on this list? How successful is the "state of California", financially?

California is the largest economy in the USA by a wide margin and the 8th biggest economy in the world right behind the United Kingdom and right ahead of Russia.

Are you really going to argue that New York, Los Angeles & Chicago are not the biggest economies in the USA by far and the main thing they have in common is diversity? Houston and Dallas have entered the top tier. Why? Because of diversity. Major latino infusion.

 

[bocabull]

Playmakr, by all means have ouhoops check my ip address. lol you dolt.

 

[playmakr]

LOL you're the best, Boca. Love you.

I think culturally diverse is a good thing, a great thing actually. But that doesn't make Oklahoma or any other State "bad" for not being as diverse. I've lived in a culturally diverse city (Chicago) for 22 years and now Oklahoma for 10 and I love both places for different reasons. Pau apparently likes the Opera and different things like that, and he will find those things in LA/Chicago/New York. It just depends on what you like and look for. If you want to get shot up on the block, go to West and South Chicago. If you want to enjoy the greatest collection of steak houses and dive bars/sports bars in the world, go to near north/loop/north Chicago. There is good and bad.

I would note LA and California makes asses out of themselves too. States and cities are a collection of good and bad, rich and poor, etc. I mean, it's not like we beat Rodney King nearly to death here. That seems like an ass out of themselves moment. It wasn't an Oklahoma owner who ranted on blacks, either.

Great post and 100% accurate. I speak out because the people & politics of oklahoma disconnect. If 59,000 children from Honduras landed at the oklahoma border the people in oklahoma I know would rally and take care of them. Not call for their deportation.

 

[playmakr]

People and politics disconnect everywhere you go. Too many single issue voters and straight party line voters because that's what their parents did.

Parker is not a 2. Certainly cannot defend it. He is the definition of an NBA 3, IMO.

I see a lot of Paul Pierce in Parker. Especially at the offensive end.

the bucks think parker can play the 4 he has the same standing reach as several nba power forwards ..
