Damn that's good.

So this isn't the main point of the article, but near the end they mention the fan game Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden. I don't know if I'm forgetting the plot of Gaiden or what, but they say it mixes the original game with the plot of Space Jam which... is not how I'd describe it? My recollection is that it takes place in the post-apocalypse and centers around the power of Barkley's devastating Chaos Dunk, a dunk so sick that it can nuke an entire city.

It's meant to be the distant future after the events of Space Jam.

Ahhh that's the part I forgot or didn't catch, thanks!

Don't forget, the real main character of that game series is Charles Barkley's fictional son... Hoopz Barkley. With a Z though.
