The alley-oop is one of the most exciting plays in basketball, and to that point, it's vital that we can expertly throw lobs on the virtual hardwood.

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.

2025/02/18

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.

This week, we're breaking out the proverbial crystal ball to gaze into the future and discuss what we think NBA 2K - and video games in general - will be like in five years. This includes innovations in gameplay, graphics, and modes, as well as fairness to gamers and the possibility of competition in the space.

2025/02/04

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! Criminally underrated players of the past are also on our minds, so this week, we join the community in naming the ballers who should be talked about more often. Finally, we recap an excellent co-op session with NBA Live 2005 PC, and compare it to other games in the NBA Live series.The post NLSC Podcast #566: Doncic Traded For Davis &

NLSC Podcast ·

2024/12/10

Are three-pointers actively ruining the NBA and making it less fun to watch? As much as we enjoy long-range sharpshooters and a timely trey, we believe that the chucking is really getting out of hand, and affecting the quality of play. We're not alone in feeling this way, and to that end, this week we join the community in discussing ideas of how to best combat the three-point problem that the NBA - and modern basketball in general - is facing.
