WASHINGTON, DC – After years of ignoring the issue surrounding mass tryouts, Congress has officially placed a bill on the floor that will ban all basketball video games.
While many believe mass tryouts, the term used to describe a basketball tryout that is overcrowded with below average players, could be caused by a number of things, Congress has confirmed that the root of the issue is video basketball games and how they glorify the idea of being an all star athlete.
As games like NBA 2K and NBA Live have taken over culture in the past decade, there has been a clear rise in the number of average people trying out for the NBA. The data depicting the correlation between the two is damning.
It’s believed that the games have such a realistic feel that they are able to convince people who are just sitting on their couch that it would be a good idea to tryout for an NBA team. If you spend enough time shootings 3s as Steph Curry, you are going to start to think you can actually shoot like that in real life.
Frankly, it’s gotten out of control. Did you know that there is a mass tryout in a middle school gym every 48 hours in this country? Coaches are reporting hundreds of instances of average height men convinced that they can dunk a basketball.
I’m just glad that congress is finally doing their job and taking legitimate action instead of just tweeting out “thoughts and players”.
