The NBA Finals may be over, putting a bow on the 2024 season with the Boston Celtics winning their eighteenth championship, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy some Playoff action on the virtual hardwood! To that point, the NBA 2K14 Retro Series is back with a new instalment, featuring a showdown between the 1996 Chicago Bulls and Seattle SuperSonics.
More specifically, this matchup is inspired by Game 3 of the 1996 NBA Finals. The Bulls had taken care of business at home, going up 2-0 after returning to the Finals for the first time since 1993. Chicago’s big three of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman looked to go up 3-0 as the series shifted to Seattle, but Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, and the rest of the Sonics weren’t content to be a footnote in the Bulls’ return to glory. This is obviously a very nostalgic showdown for me, and it’s still a blast to play in video games to this day. Check out how my version of Game 3 of the 1996 NBA Finals went down, and look out for a classic commercial for one of my all-time favourite basketball video games at halftime!
