ALL IS LOST
IN THE SERIES FINALE OF NBA Y2K, WE BEAR WITNESS TO THE SLOW, MISERABLE DEATH OF BASKETBALL
by Jon Bois

Fascinating developments:

Nerlens Noel multiple season MVP's
Anthony Bennett makes it into HOF

His intro:

This will be a death of the spirit. I want every single player in the league to be the worst player in the world. I want to render the NBA an unwatchable, miserable experience in which the notions of self-respect, good ideas, and effort go to die.

I created 80 players and named each of them after the folks who sent me the poems about the NBA's demise that I liked the most. (I read all 645 of them, and most of them were delightful.) These players are designed as pitifully as NBA 2K14 would allow: 5'3, 145 pounds, and awful at every basketball skill: shooting, passing, rebounding, defense, awareness, everything.

I put all these players in a "draft class" file. This is the file from which the game pulls all its potential NBA Draft selections in its franchise mode. Each team will have nothing but horrible players to choose from.

If the 2000 NBA Draft is any indication, a single bad draft can barely put a dent in the league, let alone kill it. So that is why, year after year, I'm feeding the NBA the same draft class file. Nothing but short, talentless weaklings, for years. And years. And years, until they are all that's left.

This is how the NBA you love was destroyed.

Gets minutes, gets a win. Worst coach in the league. Won’t even figure this out.

Who should he be playing instead of? Sabonis is balling

Not necessarily instead of, just AT ALL. Coach is an absolute idiot. So many 2 minutes playing time or DNP Coach’s Decision it’s insane.
15-20 minutes would be great, no way he signed up for DNP’s.

Thad Young played 38 minutes today! This guy learning how to coach from Thibs!

But when Turner and Sabonis both play a majority of their minutes at C, that leaves no minutes for anyone else. And they both play a lot better as the lone big man. At least Thad Young can spread the floor, I think he is far from the worst coach in the league

I think Pacers fans would disagree! Lol
And I’m not putting myself as a Pacers fan, just what I see from the fan pages and instagram. Turrible!
