Deron Williams Finds Living In New York 'Challenging'

Sep 4, 2014 3:49 PM

Deron Williams has lived in the New York area since 2011 when he was traded to the then-New Jersey Nets by the Utah Jazz, but he recently expressed being displeased with his life in the area.

"I’m not going to lie. I don’t really feel so much like a New Yorker," said Williams to Resident Magazine. "I grew up in an apartment in Texas where you could send your kids outside like ‘yeah, go play in the sun.’ Here it’s more challenging. The process of getting them into school is a nightmare. Even private schools where you pay are an ordeal. In Utah, you just send your kids to the first public school in the area because they’re all great. Truth is, we enjoy getting away from the hustle and bustle and going back to Utah every summer. It’s a relief to take that timeout. No traffic. No crowds. My daughters still have their friends there. There’s a big backyard. They go to the pool; the playground and they jump on the trampoline. Kids running wild and free here (in New York)…? I don’t think so."
