In terms of positive media representation for ESPORTS, this is about as good as you can get.

I think Gordons participation in the IPL3 and the pucplicity this whole situation gets it's a good thing for eSports. Maybe ppl realize that Gaming on a high level isn't just appealing to so-called nerds living in their moms basement, but is appealing to a huge amount of different people, cultures, personalities, ages etc.

I agree, but even moreso there might be 'closet gamers' out there and seeing this might cause them to come out of the closet, so to speak. It only takes one domino to fall over something something.

Full of bad analogies today, i'll stop.

I enjoyed reading that. It's awesome to hear someone who has first hand experience with professional sports. I can see a lot more similarities between sports and e-sports now.

Hahah the GG No Re to Kobe would be awesome lol. Good interview, and its gonna be awesome that hes gonna be at IPL. Although with recent news that the lockout may be resolved soon, he will have to be ready for the NBA season pretty soon after.

Great interview.

I think there were few other NBA stars that played BW too in the past. I think it was Tim Duncan and one if his teammate.

Best TL scoop ever.

It's funny how society pump up celebs and sports stars, but they're all really SC nerds at heart like the rest of us
