NLSC Podcast #534: Appreciating History, Debunking Narratives

More and more basketball gamers are revisiting the classics, and also stepping back in time with retro season mods, as we did in a fun session with NBA 2K10 using a 1997 roster. This week, we join the community in discussing our increased interest in retro content - whether it's through mods or what's in the game by default - as well as the importance of appreciating history, and debunking ridiculous narratives in real life and on the virtual hardwood alike.

From courtside of the virtual hardwood, it’s Episode #534 of the NLSC Podcast!

We had a blast this past week playing a co-op game of NBA 2K10 PC over Parsec, using a 1997 season roster. We reflect on how the game is an overlooked gem, and the brilliance of retro season mods in general. Indeed, it seems there’s more and more interest in revisiting classic games and memorable seasons with retro roster mods recently, and we’re all for it! To that end, this week we join the community in discussing what’s been drawing us to old favourites and classic seasons in the NBA. We also talk about the importance of appreciating history and note how video games play a role in that, as well as touch on the need to debunk ridiculous narratives such as the recent hit piece on Michael Jordan.
