      Incoming rebrand of the major leagues to “in-person e-sports.” My kids’ favorite game is “Minecraft in real life” aka playing outside

      I was ahead of the curve playing with Steve Nash in Live 2003. I basically had him doing Steph Curry’s career back then. He was way too good of a shooter not to just fire away.

      The video game counterpart of that 02-03 Mavs team was a modern NBA dream. Dirk obviously goes without saying but Raef LaFrentz was a 3&D center and you legitimately could play 5-out with them. They had shooters everywhere on the wings too.

    That’s pretty cool to hear. I credit my own interest in basketball stemming from NBA 2K11 distilling the game into something I can understand and appreciate.

    There’s some pretty cool concepts you can learn from gaming like faster decision-making and being able to get reps in and fail that surely cross over to sports, however pure athleticism not so much

    They keep putting Hali content on this reddit and I’m just going to keeping saying the same thing because it doesn’t get talked about enough: James Wiseman #2 pick.

    I became better at rebounding because 2K taught me the importance of boxing out (gotta get that teammate grade up)

    One of the best sports tools ever is designing your own plays/animated playbooks. You can really go to a coach’s playbook and watch their plays executed over n over, it’s genius.
