if media said we were contenders consistently, year after year and we were, portland ranks higher. oakland/SF/golden state mired in losing weren't but became a premier one after success.

So you have Portland tied with Detroit as the very worst place for a black player?
 
Not what I think, but what I think NBA players think.

LA

ATL
Miami
Dallas
Houston
NY


Bottom
SLC

......
Portland
Detroit
Cle
Indianapolis or Milwaukee
 
I have no idea what the players think. However, lots of Blazers choose to make Portland their permanent residence so it can't be too bad.
 
I think the question is what metro areas that players haven't lived in before are considered the best and worst so that's how I'll answer it.

Best from best to worst:

LA
NYC
Miami
Houston
Bay Area

Worst from worst to best:

Salt Lake City
Minneapolis
Cleveland
Milwaukee
Portland

My criteria were first access to world class luxury amenities and activities, second culture/racial diversity, third business opportunities and fourth weather. Oh and all of those are what I imagine are perceived by players who haven't lived there.
