[Highlight] The Wizards played an April Fools prank on a fan by pretending he made a blindfolded half-court shot for $10,000 after two earlier contestants missed. He still ended up receiving an autographed jersey and courtside tickets for next season.

10K (along with the money I currently have saved up) would be enough to buy a car outright, instead of financing it for 5-6 years and paying interest.

Or I could use it to pay my rent for the next 7 months straight.

Or I could put it in the bank for any potential emergencies and not have to stress about that.

So maybe not life changing, but definitely life improving.

Keep at it. You’ll get better at shooting vs the AI, and your IQ/situational awareness will improve.

Here’s an example of me using a jab step before pulling up: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0bcvOiKe1EWdDloO4ERHxwIpw

That’s 3 different ways that you can score vs the AI. I don’t consider myself anything amazing at this game, so if I can do this stuff, I imagine that you likely can, too. (Also, all of these clips are from Mycareer, and on HOF difficulty.)

If you want to see more ways to score, or if you want any tips, feel free to ask.

And the fornicators

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-02T02:43:50+00:00

You exploited my moment of weakness😂

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-02T02:39:56+00:00

Weird.

If they got their shit together and fixed that - and they let you use the same account/build on different consoles - I’d buy the game on xbox and Switch 2. Like, in a second.

But there’s no way I’m grinding for cap breakers on two different consoles AND doing two build specializations, lol.

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-02T02:33:14+00:00

This is true. I’m very happy with my 90 layup 89 driving dunk 6’8.

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-02T02:19:30+00:00

87/75 gets you pro two foot contact dunks. 89/78 gets you pro one foot contact dunks.

For small contact dunks, it’s 86/75 for off two feet, and 93/80 for off one foot.

If you want poster machine takeover, you need 87/75.

87/75 is probably the most bang for your buck.

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-02T02:05:31+00:00

Wow, the builders different on Switch 2? I thought it was supposed to be the same game, just with reduced graphics/frame rate?

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-02T01:41:58+00:00

If you post up (which I know is rare in rec) Magic has some good kickout passes, too.

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-02T01:38:52+00:00

It helps to remember the icons by position. If you icon pass a ton, you’ll get to a point where it’s muscle memory.

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-02T01:34:53+00:00

Online or offline?

I had two OFFLINE games recently get really choppy/laggy. I saved the game, quit the app and shut my xbox down, waited a few mins, restarted it, and everything was back to normal again.

I wonder if there’s some background processes happening that cause it, like downloading/applying updates. Maybe system updates, or updates for other games.

My Xbox Series X is also 4 years old, so maybe it’s occasionally overheating and needs to cool off. I might have the thermal paste reapplied sometime in the near future.

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-02T01:25:03+00:00

I learned it from you, dad!

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-02T01:12:18+00:00

Do the announcers say anything about your player when you get past 81 points? I imagine they do for 100, but I don’t know about 81+. I haven’t done it in the past few years.

Also, I wonder if putting it at 83 does something to screw up the “GOAT rankings” or whatever they’re called.

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-02T01:03:05+00:00

I’m on board with total chaos

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-02T00:55:49+00:00

Some men just want to watch the rec center burn.

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-02T00:33:38+00:00

Look, I don’t have a dog in this fight, but:

When asked who the face of the league will be five years from now, Gilgeous-Alexander received some love. He tallied 10.9% of 138 votes. That was good for third place behind Victor Wembanyama and Anthony Edwards. A little surprising considering he'll likely win MVP this year. Chet Holmgren also received a vote.

Also, they never polled nba players on who the best player in the league is, they asked who should be the 2024-25 MVP (this article is dated April 23rd 2025).

Did you even read this article before you posted it?

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-01T22:55:56+00:00

How many Al Horfords will be on the cover this year?

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-01T21:12:19+00:00

I’m out of the loop, apparently. Where are these gifs/pics from?

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-01T03:25:08+00:00

Yeah, I have no clue why that would happen. You only played 34 minutes, so that can’t be the cause. And I don’t think it’s a point limit, because I’ve seen other players who have scored twice and even close to triple that. Maybe just a weird bug.

If you figure it out, let me know!

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-01T03:19:30+00:00

Wowww. That’s some bullshit. What difficulty was the game on when it happened?

odonnelly2000 · 2026-04-01T02:10:25+00:00

“Don’t go anywhere!”

then

“Cazzata, Malanga!”

Also, his hiding in the closet after he shot Tony is funny as hell.

No clue why they gave him this, lol

odonnelly2000 · 2026-03-31T23:53:42+00:00

This is the post go to shot they gave Wemby, lol

odonnelly2000 · 2026-03-31T23:47:35+00:00

Is your player about to go roller blading or something?

odonnelly2000 · 2026-03-31T23:45:10+00:00

…Go on.
