Captured while preparing my retrospective of ESPN NBA 2Night 2002 for @thenlsc.bsky.social. Gotta love generated rookies in franchise and career modes!

Glancing at these late transactions as the 2026 NBA season looms, I'm reminded of what a pain offseason updates could be when I was modding NBA Live PC all those years ago. I still had fun making those rosters, but I burned out by creating too many eventual training camp cuts!

October. A fine month to be born, and make your NBA debut.

As is tradition, a photo of the oldest NBA-licensed video game alongside the newest one.

Finally got around to opening the couple of 2025 NBA trading card packs that I picked up at my local supermarket. Truly, a MyTEAM Starter Kit haul.

After almost 30 years, I've finally discovered how to rename players in NBA Jam Tournament Edition for PC! Next up, finding their ratings.
Portraits and heads are a long shot, so arcade/SNES romhacks will likely remain superior. Still, might finally get MJ onto the Bulls on PC!

I've posted a new update in my NBA Live 16 story topic in @thenlsc.bsky.social Forum: forums.nba-live.com/viewtopic.ph...
A tough loss, but I couldn't help but be impressed with how Curry torched me and made me pay for every defensive error. NBA Live 16 was on the right track.

Ten years ago today, I was getting ready to fly over to Orlando to represent @thenlsc.bsky.social at what would be my final NBA Live community event. Had to keep it under wraps until afterwards, but I did put together a teaser to let my friends know that I was going on an exciting trip!

Hey, familiar screenshot!
It's always funny to see them pop up elsewhere. Also confirms that we're showing up in Google image searches, so that's reassuring.
