He's made it through the qualifiers and the combine with some of the most impressive stats around, and has now advanced to the "interview" portion of the process. It is highly likely that this coming season he will be part of the league about which he has been providing commentary.
When the league first came out, I decided that if the Blazers were going to have a team, then I was going to be a fan of said team. Made a point to learn enough about the league to not feel lost whenever I check up on it. Sure it's not "real" basketball, but the games are relatively interesting to watch, and the guys on the B5 team are pretty cool to root for.
I paid attention to the nba2k pro league for a while but didn't stick with it. Can't watch other people play video games, I always think, why don't I just play video games...
