May 22, 1995: Houston's Clyde Drexler dunks on Sean Elliott during a 94-93 win at San Antonio in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

Drexler finished with 25 PTS/12 REB and Hakeem Olajuwon had 27 PTS/8 REB/6 AST/5 BLK for the Rockets. Elliott scored 24 PTS for the Spurs.

Back in the 90s, a couple of teams had regular homes away from home. This week's #WaybackWednesday remembers these alternate venues that were represented in NBA Live's Season modes. nba-live.com/ww-alternate-v…

I talked about this on the NLSC podcast that releases tomorrow.

Good luck doing this in 2K with the 02-03 Dirk, or any Dirk for that matter. They always make him deathly slow, and unable to dribble well.

He is a copy/paste mess with every release. It's disrespectful.

As Herb Scribner highlights here, NBA 2K24 was Take-Twos leading contributor for the company when it comes to earnings for the quarter. It has also outperformed NBA 2K23.

Outside of lawsuits, Take-Two has no incentive to stop their unfair and often predatory business practices.

Basketball gamers,
