Complex 2010 is always active with activity. One of the best ways that we have found to relax is to play NBA 2K on Playstation 4. Now you may ask yourself, "why are these grown men playing video games?" Well if that's what you're thinking, then CLEARLY you've never played any of the basketball games in the 2K series.
Understand that this obsession has a long history, and goes back to 1989. This is when Electronic Arts (Now known as EA Sports) first released Lakers vs Celtics on the Sega Genesis game platform. Fast forward 6 years to NBA Live 95, which currently brings us to the now.
One day while taking a break at COMPLEX 2010, playing the newly released 2K14, and participating in heavy trash talking, we decided to round up everyone that we know that shares our love for the game, and start a basketball tournament. This way we could get everyone that we know, clientele and non clientele, and actually create something that could possibly grown into a much larger platform.
Initially when we first started discussing it, I thought that this would be an easy enough task to handle. But all tournaments require rules, regulations, fees, and a lot of patience while reaching out to find other players. Adding a cash prize would be an added incentive, as WELL as a special guest. (I'm working on getting one. Not including the fact that yours truly, myself, was in charge of creating the artwork for this newly created venture. Once again, I'm thinking that this would be simple enough to do. Once again, I thought wrong!

After 8 revisions, and 13 hours later, the artwork was completed! The good thing about it was that I didn't have to give the hopeful participants too much info. I emailed them the finished artwork, asked them to share to all that may be interested, and waited for the replies. Fortunately I didn't have to wait long.
The official launch is Sunday October 12th at 5pm. (after the Bears VS. Atlanta Falcons game...) Unfortunately I wont be able to be in attendance. It's my 6 year old daughter Justice's Birthday!!
Other than that...Let the games begin!!
