NLSC Podcast #528: Best Three-Point Shooters in Video Game History
Who are the most memorable deadeyes from downtown on the virtual hardwood? This week, we join in the community in reminiscing about the best three-point shooters in the history of basketball video games. We also discuss the possibility of intrusive in-game ads becoming the norm - along with some worrying examples that we've already seen - and recall the players that we preferred to overwrite when customising the rosters in classic titles.

NLSC Podcast #527: 2K Pulls Kobe & Overused Basketball Jargon
What is the most overused jargon in basketball discourse? This week, we join the community in listing the terms that annoy us the most. We also cover the latest NBA 2K24 MyTEAM controversy, wherein 2K has abruptly and without explanation pulled a Kobe Bryant reward card that a pre-release developer insight promised was coming in Season 6. Of course, as Top Spin 2K25 aptly demonstrates, the company's greed extends far beyond the virtual hardwood!

NLSC Podcast #526: Worst Voices of the Virtual Hardwood
Who are the worst and most annoying commentators in basketball video games? This week, we join the community in picking our least favourite voices of the virtual hardwood. Of course, it probably won't come as a surprise that we're generally not fans of them in real life, either! We also recap a fun session with Basketball Classics, and quiz the community on the top-rated point guards in NBA 2K9. Not to sound like clickbait, but the answers may shock you!

NLSC Podcast #525: Check My Stats
Which basketball games are the easiest and hardest to put up stats in? This week, we join the community in discussing the titles that stick out in our minds, and the statistics that either eluded us or piled up way too easily. We also recap a session with Virtua NBA, provide an update on our journey in the original NBA Jam, pick our ideal games for an annual tournament, and reflect on how it feels to shelve a beloved favourite.

NLSC Podcast #524: NBA Jam & Borrowing From Other Games
After feeling inspired to revisit the Super Nintendo version of the original NBA Jam, we were reminded of how fun it still is...and also, just how unfair it can be! A couple of interesting ratings likewise stood out, leading us to dive into some statistics from 1993. We also join the community in discussing which ideas we'd take from other sports games to improve future NBA 2K releases (and potentially, a new NBA Live as well).

NLSC Podcast #523: Our All-Time Favourite NBA Jerseys
What are some of our favourite NBA jerseys of all-time? This week, we join the community in naming our top three uniforms throughout history, as well as listing other memorable designs as honourable mentions. We also discuss some of the players that made those jerseys so iconic, and reflect on how 90s styles are seemingly making a comeback despite so many people trying to tear down the era.
