One of my biggest pet peeves is when an NBA player (or really anyone) does something ridiculous and then they are described as being “a video game.” This is almost always not the case. Video games in 2020 go so far out of their way to be accurate and realistic that they make it damn near impossible to do some of the crazy stuff you see in real life. Steph pulling up from the logo for that shot against OKC? Not really happening in 2K. The Block? Even less likely. If anything, we should be appreciating players and the insane highlights they pull off specifically because they can’t even be dreamed up as possible in a simulation of their reality.
