(No matter what though I will never trade Boozer from my NBA2k11 Bulls team. I keep it real all the way, except for Jordan at SG instead of Bogans)

I've heard this a few times. For someone who has never been to Memphis, what exactly does it mean?

Memphis, at the moment, is a lot like Chicago's Southside, except when they tore down the projects, there was no relocation plan. So the city is like a jigsaw puzzle of decent neighborhoods mixed with hot spots. Most higher income folks moved out to the suburbs, leaving the inner city's economy to deal with the loss of business. It doesn't help either that there's no state income tax in Tennesse, so maintenance and construction haven't been much of a focus. A team like the Grizzlies injecting some revenue back into the city should help some, but this city's got work to do.

being on the knicks during those dark times kind of ruined his image for a while... now that he's on a winning team people realize him for the player he is

Clubbing everywhere? Stop it. Memphis' nightlife is pretty mediocre including Beale...

I don't know about Memphis much either but I figured it was because they have a lot of restaurants that serve deep fried mars bars or something like that.
