Tonight while playing my favorite game, NBA 2K7 (the best b-ball sim series), and I thought it might be fun to go a little nutty. I told Load to try to beat me with any team his heart so desired. He chose the Eastern All-Stars.

With the latest updated rosters, the Hornets are by far the worst team in the game. They have a rating for 55 on all counts, which would be defense, offense, and overall. I mean you’d be lucky to beat the Grizzlies shooting lights out.

The Eastern All-tars have a rating of 100 in everything. Long story short, this means they are the best you can be. When you have the likes of Shaq, Lebron, and D-Wayde on the same team you are looking at a trouncing of the highest measure. Then if you get in foul trouble you have Paul Pierce, Gilbert Arenas, and Joe Johnson on the bench.

This sounds like a “slam dunk” if there ever was one. The first game we played I had the lead the entire game, with Chris Paul going nuts on 3’s. In the end, the Eastern All-Stars went on an insane, might I say a lucky run to win by a measly 2 points. Beyond respectable considering the competition.

Load wanted a rematch to be able to beat them even worse. This time I still had the lead the entire game again. Then all of a sudden they made another insane run where they couldn’t miss anything.

The game went into overtime. In overtime, the lowly Hornets took over. Chris Chandler was dunking on a fat, tired Shaq like he was a rag doll. In the end, I pulled out the game and Chandler was the player of the game.

So, that’s how the N.O. Hornets beat the Eastern All-Stars. It could never happen in real life, but hey, I’ll take what I can get.
