If some fans here think that NBA teams don't have multiple PS5s set up in their practice facilities and locker rooms for the players to enjoy while killing time before and after practice and before games and that players aren't constantly using them, they are seriously fooling themselves.

For the current age span of NBA players, that generation grew up on playing video games on PlayStations and Xboxes. I am sure that for many it is a stress relief. My son works for Fanatics and their employee rooms are littered with PS5s, wide screen TVs tuned to sports and even a tap for beer. It's state of the art comfort for the employees. It's no different for professional sports clubs, I am sure.

And I am sure, the players using them aren't sacrificing NBA game performance by playing these video games. Chalk this up in the I could not care less column for me.


  :o I am definitely working for the wrong company
you and me both

Make that three...

Hopefully, this habit, obsession, addiction to 2K is not interfering with his preparation for a game.

Thing is that most of Jaylen's problems are mental in terms of focus and approach towards the game.
Just getting more of an I vibe than a We vibe from Tatum, as well as the lack of determination to win.

Many people have become addicted to either their cell phone or electronic games to the point that studies are being done,
of which some have concluded that they have, in fact, become an addiction.

My "obsession, habit, addiction" comment was simply a little humor - something often lost on you, Gouk.

Maybe if your attempts at humour were funny I might get them :)
