Pop Culture – NBA Jam is BACK!

In 1993, one of the best sports videos games every created premiered – NBA Jam. It was a monster success and produced some lasting pop cultural phrases including, “HE’S HEATING UP!” and “HE’S ON FIRE!” Sadly, aside from a few spinoffs, they never continued to make the game for newer consoles – until now! NBA Jam is back for the Wii with its classic style and game play. One of the coolest features of the original game was the ability to unlock special players, which back then included hall of famers. They’ve brought that feature back with some interesting unlockable players including Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Sarah Palin, and George W. Bush, Bill and Hilary Clinton, Al Gore, and Dick Cheney. I think this is a great new way to decide the Presidency.
