Lebron can’t carry Kobe’s jock

You can't compare players that have two completely different styles of play. Kobe has more rings sure, but he also had Shaq for 3 of the 5 and of course the Zen Master for all 5. I never buy in to comparing players against one another because no two ever have the same settings in which they can be compared evenly.

Absolutely no way that Bartlett, TN is in the Top 5 wealthiest zip-codes in the state. If that is legit I am floored.

The most exciting thing out there is the I-40 corridor lol. Not trying to be mean or anything but there just isn't anything note-worthy out there. Doesn't "feel" like a wealthy town.

Not at all. Was there in February. Nothing has changed since I moved 15 years ago.

Don’t think so. Obviously there are different metrics that can be used, but the other 4 are probably up there. There are some zip codes that have less than 100 houses so they don’t apply to a larger population.

My point was not to get into a money argument. Just as poster stated above, there is more to Shelby County than just Memphis. It is important to UT. Has some wealth and 7-8% of the student body at any one time comes from the county. Many, many alums and fans in the area.

Wealth can be deceiving. Family farms, retired folks not being flashy. Or it's an average figure, not median figure, and 1 billionaire throws it out of whack.

All of this was moved from a player's thread, whose hometown created the debate for about the 1000th time. I responded over there, but it hasn't been moved.

Yea, areas of Nashville are filled with more millionaires. But I believe the zip code in Shelby County leads in median income, and it has over 6,000 households.

Like I don't know that, but you aren't understanding how it's measured. As I stated above, those areas probably have more millionaires. But it's not the metric that is always used. One trillionaire will throw off the average numbers. Using the median income is a whole different metric.
