Electronic Arts started producing their basketball games in 1992 with the famous hit Bulls versus Lakers and the NBA Playoffs. For the first time in the history of basketball video games, we had actual players performing (unrealistic) moves that were patented to their game. Players had definite skill ratings, and could be objectively measured
Off hand, one might say Mitt Romney and Wilt Da Stilt Chamberlain have nothing in common. And then, when you look deeper at it, you only further realize they have nothing at all in common. For starters, I would vote for Chamberlain. Our past (Bill Clinton) already proves that presidents with high libidos thrive in office, and make great
Brandon LaChance and Brett Roberts discuss the likely conference finals teams and NBA champs, and touch on the greatest dunkers of all time.
For anyone that has observed the hilarious circus that is the Republican primaries, surely they have caught sight of the walking parody that is Rick Santorum. A man with so little respect for women, yet the seeming adoration of many, perpetuates what many wish was a dying stereotype in the American cultre: the overly conservative white man that

If you were paying attention to Oncourt Onslaught during the summer duldrums while I waxed on the past days of the NBA, this entry will come as no surprise. The NBA was a lot more rugged in the late 80s and early 90s, when the "Bad Boys" of Detroit reigned surpreme. Hand checking was allowed and NBA officials allowed players to play a lot more
Back when I was 14, I spent an entire summer playing Live 95. Sure, I did other things; namely, play actual 'real life' basketball, as I was part of a generation that still went outside and exercised as kids. Now kids have so many toys they don't bother.

With the news that Besiktas is retiring Deron Williams jersey, the speculation I began earlier about him staying in Turkey doesn't appear as though it is going to come to fruition. The proposition cost me $5.00, as I bet my brother with 10/1 odds that Williams would remain in Turkey. Williams averaged less per game than he did in the NBA.
