Most Dangerous NBA Cities

I stumbled upon the headline Most Dangerous Cities 2009  earlier today, and clicked on it to see how we fared here in Cleveland.  Number 8 overall is the answer.  I wonder how we would rank in terms of danger when compared to other NBA cities, I then asked myself.  Turns out the Cavaliers call the fourth most dangerous NBA city home.  A comparative list, summarized from the work done by the good folks at CQ Press, is after the jump...

1.   Golden State Warriors (Oakland, CA - #3 overall)
