I am still holding out hope for the advent of live VR watching options. Being able to simulate a courtside seat with full range of vision would be awesome.

The nets messed around with something like this but you were sitting courtside at a live simulcast of the game happening in an NBA 2k style engine. a bizarre choice that totally ruins the product, but I assume it’s a lot less resource intensive.

I like your style.
There were VR broadcasts a few years ago. I watched one with google glass until my phone got very hot. It was fine for what it is. There was a camera on the side and IIRC one above or behind the basket. I don't know if they do them anymore.

This is probably my most boomer take but Scottie is a child’s nickname much like Billy.

I will continue to go by Billy, as that's the only name I've actually known or been called by the few people in this world I actually love or, indeed, have any respect for at all. William's the sucker who has to pay my taxes. Changing my name because it doesn't "sound adult" to a collection of given uptight corporate randos wouldn't make me more of an adult. It'd just make me a loving pushover. It's about conformity, not growing up.

A litmus test that has literally never failed me in my adult life is whether or not someone will call me by my name after I tell them. If they don't, they're an rear end in a top hat. 100% of the time. Not just to me, but to everyone else around them. As inevitable as the tides.

I've watched the VR games. Their good, and if I'm cool with being totally isolated from the goings ons at my house I'd do it but I don't actively seek it out. I had a lot more fun for like a quarter than the rest of the game though.

It's not really "like being at a game" imo, it's just a novel way to watch basketball.

lol there’s a guy in my town notorious for big time lies - used to be CIA, gets paid a lot by the government as pension/to keep quiet, etc - who also routinely brings cute young girls nice pairs of shoes, buys them nice sunglasses, offers to buy them new cars, and chased down a guy and tried to execute a citizen’s arrest for some inane reason because he used to be police of course. Total con man and sleaze ball. Finally kicked him out of my workplace for good for constantly sexually harassing the young (18+) girls. Anyways that’s his name

Sounds like he should stick to basketball

wouldn't really call it 'looseness' - if he hears something he just fires it off into a tweet or a podcast or an article or w/e, there's no verifying anything or bothering to see if there's the vaguest hint of truth to a rumor. it's a desperate need to get his name out there and be the first one on top of the hottest new deal. he's much worse and much shittier about it than most of the other folks doing the same thing

its a 'Real' rumor that has been circling for a little bit. someone even less trustworthy than Fischer dropped the "Lowry is available and wow folks they all want him" news about a week ago, I think one of the dudes on that horrific Heat fan site that spawned all the rumors about "actually the Heat had a 4 team deal in place to give Portland seven first rounders!"
