Video games used to be some nerdy activity that involved magical quests with quirky Italian plumbers. But nowadays, video games can double as realistic simulators. This being the case, I started a season in the new NBA 2K20 and let the computer play out the entire 2019-2020 Phoenix Suns season. The results were…accurate?
Speaking of realism, my wife walked in on me playing NBA 2K and asked, “Did basketball start already?” I paused it and blankly stared at her for longer than I should have had to before she realized it was a video game.
It is hard to say if that is more of a compliment to the 2K graphics department or an indictment to her wherewithal, but since she is likely going to read this, let’s go with the former.
