    Does anyone have a tradition they follow on bball release day?

    My Tradition is Detroit Pistons at Philadelphia 76ers For the last five years. I probably won’t finish the game but it’s what I do.

    Yes, for whatever reason when I was a kid I started a Celtics vs. Sixers game tradition. It continues till this day.


    I still have video of my Sixers vs. Celtics game from Live 18. And this pic.







    I'll try to update it for 19.

      Does calling into work playing NBA Live all day count as a tradition?

          call off work 2 or 3 days (before newborn was here lol).

          hit dispensary, liquor store, then sit in my at home office and ignore all outside life for a couple days lmao!

          now, my ps4 is in the living room and "housewives of whatever city" will be in the background along with my wife talking to me about something or another and my baby crying lol

          BUT im still hitting the dispensary, just not calling off work lol.

          And my anniversary is 9/8 - so i wont get to play much until the following week. I promise, life has never been better though lol

              i thought the same thing, but one of my psn homies who has a ton of kids was like "move your system into the living room, she'll love it"

              i thought to myself, naaaaaah aint no way the wife going for that. but she actually loved the idea and designed a whole gaming corner for me (smaller than my office but ill take it!) and i hear ZERO complaints bout how much im on the game. i used to hear it all the time (like most married gamers do lol) but now she says all the time how much she appreciates me being in the living room.

              who woulda thought lol

                        Do you have another monitor or tv? My wife just watches TV all evening so I end up playing when she goes to bed.
