#NBA 2K12 PRO#

I like to mix things up here in Wayback Wednesday. This week, I’m comparing The Jordan Challenge in NBA 2K11 to NBA’s Greatest in NBA 2K12. You’ll also find old NLSC editorials re-published with added commentary, and other flashback content. Check in every Wednesday for retrospectives and other features on older versions of NBA Live, NBA 2K, and old school basketball video games in general. This is Wayback Wednesday, your midweek blast from the past! In this feature, we dig into the archives, look back at the history of basketball gaming, and indulge in some nostalgia. It also had a noticeable impact on the virtual hardwood. However, while Starks’ career was memorable, Linsanity was something special, brief as it may have been.

Both had gone undrafted, though Lin had arguably been a much longer shot to make the league, having not received any athletic scholarship offers and being just one of four players from Harvard to go pro (and the first in over fifty years). Of course, while there are some fun coincidences in the careers of John Starks and Jeremy Lin, there are some noteworthy differences as well.īoth originally made their NBA debut for the Golden State Warriors, seeing limited minutes while playing less than half of the season. Some twenty years after Starks’ breakout season in New York, another Knicks guard would become a fan favourite after making his mark.

When I was growing up as a young NBA fan in the 90s, the story of how John Starks went from undrafted prospect to a key member of the best Knicks teams since the 70s was one of the most popular. The NBA has produced some captivating stories in its 75 years, including inspiring underdog tales. This week, I’m taking a look back at Linsanity, and its effect on basketball video games. This is Wayback Wednesday, your midweek blast from the past! From retrospectives of basketball games and their interesting features, to republished articles and looking at NBA history through the lens of the virtual hardwood, Wednesdays at the NLSC are for going back in time.
