Although we mostly play NBA and NCAA licensed basketball video games, there have been some classic releases that lack their high profile branding, as well as real teams and players.

NLSC Podcast ·

2025/03/04

Is nostalgia ruining the NBA? Channing Frye and other talking heads seem to think so, but we have other ideas! This week, we join the community in providing an impassioned rebuttal to yet another asinine talking point that's blatantly intended to dump on the league's history, and the many great players of the past.

In the wake of another disappointing All-Star Weekend that saw more advertising and extracurricular events than actual basketball, this week we join the community in discussing ways that the NBA can possibly fix their midseason classic.

This week, we're reacting to the 2025 Slam Dunk Contest and the suggestion that threepeat champion Mac McClung is the greatest dunker of all-time. Given our disdain for boosts, props, and gimmicks in the contest, we're inclined to disagree! We also join the community in discussing the most frustrating types of players to play with and against in organised leagues and pick-up alike, and recap two great sessions with NBA Live 16 and NBA Live 10.

The basketball world was shocked by the trade of Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis. Naturally, we have a few thoughts on the deal, and what it means for both teams!
