Tune Into Gametime Tomorrow At 10:30 AM ET For The First Ever Barstool NBA Jam Tournament
Since Smitty is out with Nate trying to win money for all of us on the content side of things, I am in charge of running Gametime this week. And since my video game tastes skew severely toward the nostalgic side, I decided to bring in my Super Nintendo to HQ for the first ever Barstool Sports NBA Jam tournament.
It will be a single elimination tournament and matchups will be drawn right right as everything kicks off. I’m still trying to come up with a decent prize that is better than just pride, since that really doesn’t exist in HQ anyway. Maybe a gift card to Dunkin’ Donuts since everyone in the office LOVES their fresh food and refreshing drinks. #VivaLaDunkin. Or maybe some sort of championship belt. I don’t know.
Okay now for the important stuff. Tip off is at 10:30 AM ET SHARP (or whenever we get everything working because this is Barstool after all). We will pick the matchups out of a hat, write out the bracket, and then start shooting basketballs made of fire. So make sure to follow the Barstool Twitch account and the Gametime Twitter handle so you can watch me Boomshakalaka all over my blogger brethren.
Now here is something to whet your appetite until tomorrow morning
(While I love the soundtrack to this video, anyone that willfully mutes the announcer of NBA Jam is a certifiable lunatic. Easily the best part of the all-time classic)
