I haven't ever been to Oakland but I've heard it is a shit hole, a ghetto ass shit hole at that. But I've also heard that about alot of places, like Phoenix and guess what I live in the Phoenix area and it IS a shit hole. Don't hate is all I'm saying, it's senseless hate.

Why do you give a fuck what he thinks anyways, as far as most of you are concerned he's just a country bumpkin from Alabama....most of you have no clue as to what he did in the NBA (he put it down in the NBA is what he did).
