    ESPN.com's Bill Simmons is in the game

    A read a blurb about this a few weeks ago but this confirms it:



    A few weeks ago, I flew to Vancouver, British Columbia, for an EA Sports shoot. The company was filming five NBA players, including Paul Pierce and Shawn Marion, in motion capture suits for "NBA Live 08," so EA offered me a chance to join them and become the first nonplayer to wear the suit. (I'm writing about this at some point, just not today.) I ended up spending a few hours hanging out with the players and going through all the mo-cap sequences with them. It was a very fun day and I even successfully executed a three-step handshake/hug with Delonte West.

    Smart move by EA to get the "Sports Guy" in the NBA Live 08. He has a huge audience over at Page 2 and I'm sure he will have a BS Report Podcast dedicated to NBA Live 08.
