'2K and Live:' The Rise and Rise and Rise
I started playing basketball video games around 2013. Y'know, the one where MJ was the cover star? Started with a game between the '92 Bulls and the '92 Hornets? That was when the games used SP, or skill points, and not the VC, or virtual currency, that we know and occasionally criticise today. Those were the days. I also got introduced to Madden around this time as well. These games use buttons you never seemed to use. Like the square was shoot, the triangle was a lob pass. It was like PES had taken the wheel of American Sports games. I knew Live was a game in the 00s, but was way too occupied with the entire FIFA situation from 03-09. Then got bored of it all and ventured into the land of adventure games and mobile RPGs. However, with the emergence of NBA 2K18 and Live 18 around the same time last year and the hype for 2K19 just beginning, let's take a look at how the two have contrasted over the years and what it means for the basketball video game community.

The History of 'NBA 2K' Covers
As both a basketball fan and video game fan, it is only natural that both of my interests meet in some way. For several years, NBA 2K has been just that. NBA 2K allows me to combine my love for the game (basketball) with my love for the game (in video games). I have played 2K for years, and will probably continue to do so. Especially with this new cover.

Alien51 Gaming Is What Las Vegas eSports Is All About
When it comes to sports, no matter which it is, when you’re looking for a team to root for, you don’t go solely based off of its win/loss record. Sure, it’s always nice to back a winner, but if that team is missing the core values of what the world of sports should be about, the fun of rooting for them can die out quick. Just as important as talent is the team’s integrity and ability to respect one another and rival players, two qualities that seem to be dwindling throughout the world as a whole.
