Mid-day nonsense fun: Hidden NBA Jam characters

freshprince.jpgRocket comes up for air to deliver us this link of great importance: the top 10 all-time hidden characters in NBA Jam. If you didn’t love that game, there’s a good chance you also hate America. You are not heating up. You are not on fire. In any event, this is a fantastic list — including MCA from the Beastie Boys and Warren Moon — with this great line about Moon:

Warren Moon is a lot like Randall Cunningham. They were both star quarterbacks in the 90s, but are nowhere near household names. So how can Warren Moon, the NFL’s all-time leader in fumbles, rank higher than an animal lover like Cunningham? The answer is easy: More indie rockers know who Warren Moon is.

Also note the beautiful kicker line about No. 1 choice Bill Clinton. Please do enjoy.

The only more embarassing combination than the Wolves’ Chuck Person and Christian Laettner was Milwaukee’s Brad Lohaus and Blue Edwards.

The creators of the game (from Midway) were also hidden characters, and there was also a code to give everyone gigantic noggins, if I remember correctly.

It’s 2008, how is it that no one can dunk from the three point line?

Wasn’t NBA Jam supposed to be to basketball what The Jetsons was to society?
