2K Sports gets in on the eSports action.

Competitive gaming is a big deal over in Asia, and it’s been steadily making its way to the western world over the past few years. ESPN even added an “eSports” vertical to their site in the past few months. Now your favorite NBA game NBA 2K16 is getting in on the action to the tune of $250,000 in prizes.

Called “The Road To The Finals,” the tournament series begins on February 15, with 16 qualifying events that will be used to evaluate the final 16 people who get a shot at the prize money. The 16 qualifying events will be online-based, so there’s no regional favoritism.

The tournament uses NBA 2K16’s pro-am feature, which pits five-on-five teams made up of individual human players against each other. Participants will use their own custom players rather than the existing NBA stars.

2K Sports’ statement explains further, “Teams can participate in any of the 16 qualifying events where they will need to win at least four games in order to qualify. Those four games will be scored based on the team’s performance and then ranked on the event leaderboard. The top score of each qualifying event day will be deemed the winner and will move on to the tournament.”

A single-elimination tournament will be held on May 21, and the finals match between the top two players will be held in June. The final match is slated to line up with the NBA Finals.

We know there are at least a few of you with NBA 2K16 chops out there, so head over to the full contest rules to figure out how to register. NBA 2K16 community manager Chris Manning has already upgraded his player to a 99 rating, so you’d better get working. 2K Sports’ statement explains further, “Teams can participate in any of the 16 qualifying events where they will need to win at least four games in order to qualify.

Carmelo Anthony committed a different kind of palming violation on Sunday.

The New York Knicks All-Star did the best he could in order to keep the ever-elusive Stephen Curry in front of him.


Melo kept the gifted Golden State Warriors ball-handler in-check by simply placing his hand on the head of the NBA's leading scorer.

Anthony was called for the foul, but one has to admire him for getting creative with his perimeter defense.

Carmelo on scratching Curry while putting his hand on his forehead: "Helluva player. I was just trying to figure out a way (to) stop him."

Curry, on the other hand, was left with a decent-sized scratch on his forehead.

NBA 2K makers sued over use of tattoos on LeBron, Kobe, others

The makers of the NBA 2K video game franchise are being taken to court by a company claiming to hold a copyright on tattoos found on the bodies of players including LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, DeAndre Jordan, and Eric Bledsoe.

Solid Oak Sketches is suing Take-Two Interactive over unauthorized depictions of the tattoos seen in the NBA 2K series. The eight infringed-upon designs include doves on James' forearms and butterflies on Bryant's arm, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell.

Solid Oak Sketches obtained copyright for several of the tattoo designs last year and had contacted NBA 2K about arranging for their use in the game, according to evidence submitted in the lawsuit.

However, the lawsuit also acknowledges that a U.S. court has never fully determined whether tattoo art can be copyrighted, reports Eriq Gardner of the Hollywood Reporter. Mike Tyson's tattoo artist, Victor Whitmill, sued Warner Bros. over the visibility of his work in the movie "Hangover 2" and settled out of court. A similar result occurred with artist Christopher Escobedo, who was awarded $22,500 after the tattoo he inked on MMA fighter Carlos Condit's back was depicted in the "UFC Undisputed" video game.

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Chicago Bulls Prediction

Best price NBA 2K 16 MT points only here: http://www.vbgamecoins.com/en/40--2k16-mt 

Chicago Bulls (26-19) at Los Angeles Clippers (31-16) NBA Basketball: Sunday, January 31, 2016 at 3:30 pm (STAPLES Center)
The Los Angeles Clippers play host to the Chicago Bulls at the Staples Center on Sunday afternoon.

The Bulls will be gunning for their third win in four games after making light work of the Lakers in a 114-91 rout on Thursday. Jimmy Butler led the offense with 26 points and 10 assists, Pau Gasol added 21 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists while Derrick Rose chipped in with 16 points as the Bulls jumped all over the Lakers to build a double digit lead early before cruising in the second half. With the win, Chicago improves to 26-19 on the season and 10-10 on the road.

Meanwhile, the Clippers are also coming off a win over the Lakers, beating them by 105-93 last night at home for their third straight win. Chris Paul led the way with 27 points and seven assists and had plenty of support as the bench combined for 56 points led by 17 points from Austin Rivers as the Clippers did just enough to pull away from the Lakers in the fourth quarter to improve to 31-16 on the season and 16-7 at home.

In ATS trends, the Bulls are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a win, while the Clippers are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games against a team with a winning record and 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games overall.

Head to head, the Bulls are 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings but the road team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings overall. The Clippers have been on an absolute tear with Blake Griffin still on the sidelines, but the Bulls should be good enough to take advantage of the shorthanded Clippers and escape with the cover or even the win.

A Brief History of NBA Players Stupidly Punching Stuff

Best price NBA 2K 16 MT points only here: http://www.vbgamecoins.com/en/40--2k16-mt 

This week Blake Griffin learned the hard way: When it's hand vs. face, the hand almost always loses. In every man’s life, there comes a time or two or eighty when you’re on Netflix, watching Donnie Yen pummel dudes into guacamole, and you clench your fists and look at ol’ Shock and Awe and think, “Aw yeah, I could totally do that.”

Clippers star Blake Griffin probably wasn’t trying any Wing Chun during his altercation with Clippers assistant equipment manager Matias Testi, but even though it was Blake doing the repeated punching, he didn’t exactly land the KO, either: “Testi was left with a severely swollen face and Griffin with a broken right hand, which is expected to keep him out for at least a month,” reported Deadspin. Wait, so who won that again?

Which brings us to our point. We think we’ve come up with some good guidelines for Blake and everyone else’s fisticuffs moving forward. Think of them as GQ’s official rules for punching dudes. And they’re pretty simple, too: 1. Don’t punch people. 2. If you’re going to punch people, don’t punch people in the face, because it’s extra dumb.

NBA players have a long history of jeopardizing their careers with face-based battery. Even a pacifist like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar kicked off the 1977 season by punching Kent Benson in the face; Kareem missed out on twenty games and his third consecutive MVP. In ’85, Larry Bird hurt his finger sucker-punching a man in a bar; he shot 46 percent in the playoffs, and the Celtics fell to the Lakers. (Not to mention: MJ, Kerr; Kobe, Samaki Walker.)

The Clippers, meanwhile, defeated the reigning-champion Spurs in the playoffs last year and looked to be at least third in the top-heavy Western Conference this season. Now experts are wondering which of the Clips’ big three is most expendable, and the trade rumors are a-swirlin’.

Look, it’s understandable why you would want to punch someone in the face. It’s the window to the soul, and sometimes you want to hit that stupid, smug soul right in its weaselly lips. Unfortunately, because the skull contains sensitive objects like your eyes and nose, it’s also built like a tank. In fact, research shows that hominid jaws and brows evolved to grow bigger and thicker as “protective buttressing,” crude bone armor against rival cavemen’s fists.

And professional people-punchers aren’t even exempt. Even though combat athletes all wear gloves (and even the four-ounce gloves UFC fighters wear make a big difference), there’s a name for the consequences of all those impacts: boxer’s fracture. See, to hit someone without fear of injury, you just have to make sure “the knuckles of the second and third metacarpal align linearly with the articulating radius, followed linearly by the humerus,” which is hard enough to understand when you’re reading it on Wikipedia, let alone when it’s 2 A.M. and someone’s telling you that DeAndre’s the real heart and soul of the team.

The military agrees as well. “Punches should only be executed to the soft tissue areas of an opponent,” says the U.S. Marine Corps’ Close Combat Manual. Whereas with the head and face, “the risk of self-injury is great unless Marines deliver strikes with a hard object such as a helmet, rifle butt, or boot heel.” Look forward to Matt Barnes showing up to game day with a flak helmet and the stock off a Beretta 690 later this year.

So really, there’s no reason to hit people, especially when you’re hitting your own hand harder. Besides, Blake: You’re Blake Griffin, man! Get revenge the American way and buy and sell his ass with your fabulous wealth and influence. Your metacarpals will thank you.

NBA Trade Rumours: Former all-stars on the move?

Best price NBA 2K 16 MT points only here: http://www.vbgamecoins.com/en/40--2k16-mt

The NBA’s Feb. 18 trade deadline is inching closer and the rumours are swirling. Here’s some of the latest buzz from around the league. Should Clippers move Griffin?

The Skinny: Zach Lowe raised a few eyebrows in a recent story on ESPN.com, citing sources that told him Doc Rivers would be most willing to part with Blake Griffin if he had to deal any of his three major pieces (the other two being Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan). Analysis: Griffin has dominated NBA headlines lately after getting into an altercation with a team staffer that resulted in a broken hand during the Clippers’ trip to Toronto. Griffin is Los Angeles’s best overall player and would net the largest return if a trade were to happen. Now in his sixth season, the first overall pick in the 2009 draft remains one of the game’s top talents, averaging 23.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists on 51 per cent shooting.

Despite the recent drama, a trade involving the five-time all-star is extremely unlikely at the moment and would seem to be an overreaction for the ages. However, Rivers did tell Lowe before the season that a roster shakeup may be necessary if the Clippers were eliminated in the first or second round of the playoffs. If an overwhelming package of players and draft picks comes along, Los Angeles could pull the trigger. Don’t hold your breath on this one, though.

Hawks willing to part with Teague?

The Skinny: On an episode of The Vertical podcast, Adrian Wojnarowski and Chris Mannix of Yahoo! Sports reported the Atlanta Hawks are discussing moving point guard Jeff Teague. Numerous teams have allegedly expressed varying degrees of interest in the former all-star. Analysis: Dealing with a nagging ankle injury, Teague's numbers are down across the board in 2015-16 and he has become somewhat expendable for the Hawks due to the emergence of backup Dennis Schroder. Schroder is averaging nearly 11 points and five assists per game in just 21 minutes of action. When expanded to a per-36-minute level, the numbers exceed Teague's production. At just 22 years of age, Schroder appears to be the floor general of the future in Atlanta.

However, for a team looking to add an impact player at the trade deadline, it's hard to imagine landing a better asset than Teague. He's still very much in his prime at 27 years old and is just one year removed from an All-Star Game appearance. His salary is team-friendly as he's due to make just $8 million next season.

One of the teams that has reportedly made contact with the Hawks is the New York Knicks, who sit on the outside of the Eastern Conference playoff picture but remain in striking distance. Jose Calderon is having a solid year, but Teague could be the piece to push New York over the hump. However, putting together a package of the Hawks' liking may be tricky for the Knicks.

'NBA 2K16': New patch released to prepare for 'Road To The Finals 2K Pro-Am" tournament' New patch designed to prepare 'NBA 2K16' for upcoming 'Road To The Finals 2K Pro-Am' tournament

A new patch has just been released for the PlayStation 4 (PS4) and Xbox One ports of "NBA 2K16." The game's publisher indicated that the new patch is meant to prepare the game for the start of the upcoming "Road To The Finals 2K Pro-Am" tournament, Attack of the Fanboy reported.

In pursuit of that, the newly released patch is more focused on the bugs that are found in "NBA 2K16's" MyCOURT, MyPARK, and Pro-Am modes.

For now at least, it looks like the other gameplay modes of "NBA 2K16" will remain unaffected by the arrival of the latest patch. As for what the new patch does specifically, one of its new features is the addition of Player of the Week and Player of the Month listings to the MyPARK leaderboards.

The new patch is also addressing a few bugs, including one that previously allowed players to wear mascot outfits even though they were not qualified to do so just yet.

The latest "NBA 2K16" patch also fixes a bug that once led to players erroneously producing ankle breaker reactions. Additionally, the "NBA 2K16's" newest patch is introducing a variety of tweaks that should improve the overall performance of specific game modes such as MyCOURT.

Aside from the patch, the game's developers have also unveiled a new roster update that is making significant changes to some of the players inside "NBA 2K16," Design and Trend reported.

One player who has been significantly affected by the latest roster update is the Miami Heat's Hassan Whiteside. Thanks to the latest update, Whiteside now sports a 100 block rating inside "NBA 2K16" that should help him swat shots with greater regularity. On the flipside, Kevin Love of the Cleveland Cavaliers was adversely affected by the newest "NBA 2K16" roster update as his rating has been decreased.
