Damn, seeing Kobe in this makes me feel some type of way. RIP to the Black Mamba! And of course, thanks for sharing this amazing throwback episode Vic!
Basketball video games, they have been through an amazing legacy. No matter what platform, they deliver hype, and excitement. Let alone just one, but several back then.
I love these episodes. Brings me back for a few mins. Incredible.
Amazing to see some of these old game commercials
One of the GOATS 🙏☝️🕊️

Think it's time for a new Road Rash.
Vic had some legit b-ball skillz. Nice!
I wonder if he still plays.
Play Forever, Victory!
I was 11 when this aired, I'm 36 now! Time flies. Thanks Vic, for getting these posted
19:07 - I'm glad I'm not the only one who used to describe those commands with LP, RP, LK, RK, lol! Nowadays the FG community uses 1, 2, 3, 4 to reference the button layout. 🎮
It is a learning curve, that is helpful. But I can relate, and it works like a dance when you think about it.
You mean, "Tommy Tallarico from OC CA forgot to ask". LOL
Nice!
Hey Vic - I'd love to do a watch along with you on these classic eps where you can give background commentary on the episodes.
Tyrone’s a real ladies man.
"Give me this"
Killer ep! See you Saturday
I thought the chicken dance commet was spot on with the basketball PS1 game very entertaining to watch most in deffenet is those ol ps1 games stiff as a bord simple easy to rember lol... Thanks EP Espicly VICTOR L for brining back the ol classics episodes super special place in my life for back in that era.. so HALA!.
Victor, how many takes did you do to make that lay-up? ♥
So funny to see you looking up at Kobe. I always picture him alongside Shaq, so I think of him as "small."
Gee I hope this Tommy guy never actually becomes a CEO at a video game company
Tommy lives rent free in yer mind, my friend
