DALANEL Review: Improvements For NBA 2K I’d Like to See

NBA 2k is the leader of NBA video games. This is clear. The potential feat of course is that, is no competition, they can take a backseat in development. It’s been rumored that NBA Live could be making a comeback but we’ll see.

Anyway, I have seven copies of NBA 2K games. And so I think I could talk about some small tweaks that could make the game experience better.

In My Career, I really like how they’ve expanded the player into interviews and the draft experience and the endorsements. He also has a better idea of what fans and writers think of him as well as fellow players. But I think it would be cool if, when you finally decide to retire, you have the option of trying to be a coach or a GM or something. A front office position. We see it all the time in the real NBA.

Daily Good Stuff 76: The 76ers and the NBA

You knew this was coming. As a 76ers fan this post had to come. Well, while this isn’t the first post done as a Sixers theme, this will be strictly Sixers and NBA. So sit back and relax hoop fans, because this is gonna be a wiiiiiiild ride! Our joke is one of a great rivalry between the Sixers and Celtics:

A 76ers fan and a Celtics fan stumble upon a magic lamp. The 76ers fan gets to it first, picks it up and gives it a rub. There’s a flash, a puff of smoke, and a genie appears The genie looks at the 2 men and demands to know who it was that rubbed the lamp. Delighted, the 76ers fan announces that it was him. “Okay,” says the genie, “So you get 3 wishes. But there’s a catch.” “What’s that then?” asks the ‘Gers fan. “Well, whatever you wish for, I’ll give the other guy double.” “That’s alright with me,” says the 76ers fan, and starts the ball rolling by wishing for a million pounds. “Granted!” says the genie, “But the Celtics fan gets 2 million.” “Fair enough. Now, I’d like a nice new Ferrari,” “Done. But the Celtics fan gets 2 Ferraris.” “Okay,” says the 76ers fan, “I’d like to donate a kidney.

Daily Good Stuff 54: Help From The 76ers

Monday already? Where did the weekend go? Of course, I’m here to give you a boost to start the day and week. Let’s get it off with a funny list that is posing as a joke.

20 Things to do in the bathroom stall…

1. Stick your palm open under the stall wall and ask your neighbor, “May I borrow a highlighter?”

2. Say “Uh oh, I knew I shouldn’t put my lips on that.”

3. Cheer and clap loudly every time somebody breaks the silence with a bodily function noise.

4. Say, “Hmmm, I’ve never seen that color before.”

5. Drop a marble and say, “oh shoot!! My glass eye!!”

6. Say “Darn, this water is cold.”

7. Grunt and strain real loud for 30 seconds and then drop a cantaloupe into the toilet bowl from a high place six to eight feet. Sigh relaxingly.

Daily Good Stuff 3

I got some news for ya. As an NBA blogger, I was all over this. Chris Wright has signed with the Dallas Mavericks. It’s a 10-day contract (for those not involved with the NBA, these are common). Oh and he has multiple sclerosis, which is a disease that attacks the Central Nervous System and, at worst, can cause complete or partial paralysis.

And yet here he is. He’s been spending his time playing in the NBA Development League and was called up by the Mavericks. We don’t know how long he will be able to play until when/if  the disease takes its toll. But, he’s taking medication to keep it off for now. Good for Chris.

So what about a video of…well people getting hurt? Because that’s where all the money is.

Good Friday: Good News Around the Web 2

This week we have a good cop, and a superstar athlete making a visit to a kid. Let’s get to it first with our cop.

Hulk Derrick Hogan is a police officer who helped an 86 year old woman in a great way. First, the police station sent him to her house as she wasn’t able to drive. Relatives who usually helped her had passed, including her son. So, Hogan goes in and it turns out that the lady needed a way to get food from the local church.

Dogan decides that maybe the church wouldn’t help. So, he went to the grocery store himself and bought the little old lady food…with his own money. She gave him a list but he bought more than what was on the list. He bought her some tasty ham as well as decorations for her house.
