What Makes Legends Legend

He is not aware of his life long desperate. He settles for the little happiness for years. This is little happiness for him. He has just faced with it. A new SNES game lies in front of him. It was not a surprise and he rapidly opens its box and launched the game. It is absolute excitement and bliss; at least he thinks like that.

It was a NBA Live 97. One of the games developed by Electronic Arts. I did not know about gameplay, atmosphere or sound in that day. However this game entertain us very much. I remember TV channel just broadcast the play-off finals (there is all season today) and we try to follow this organisation. We watch the match at silly time, later we resuscitate it with the game. At that time Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz were in the finals. My friend supported Jazz and I chose Bulls. Jordan’s poster was on the precious part of my wall. Every action and excitement flows in our veins like a blood. It just becomes a life style for us. We try to do the moves that we see in the game in actual life. Years passed rapidly and unbeknown and this left as a nice memory.

Today we have various opportunities and selections for playing game. Different consoles, computers and other systems just stand for our service. They have newest and unbelievable technologies and all these try to make feel the reality. We are in a condition that we pay money to get closer to artificial reality. When it come closer to reality, it goes away from entertainment.

When we played the game we also watched the 97 NBA Finals. Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Shaquille O’Neal and Anfernee Hardaway had a significant and deep effect on the mind. They are remarkable players in the league. We used to watch them with the USA Dream Team and NBA All Star Game. We idolised these men, we look at the league and no one left from these sparkling years. Younger generation take place in important roles and we try to adapt ourselves to this change. Our legends are far away physically, yet they are very close to heart.

The game is very entertaining and we had good times with it. I remember it as legend. I am not interested in basketball games in computer anymore. The Dream Team was successful. Their moves, styles and appearances are different and these make a separation by the others. New players play nice game; show incredible effort and present reasonable performance. However, I am not looking at NBA on TV nowadays. I can say that time is very dangerous and tricky concept in the universe. Nobody can runaway from it and distinct impact can be seen on everything. Names left after years as legend but they do not exist anymore as person. Our feeling of joy stands as a nice memory but it went away by time. Well, it seems it is impossible to avoid from time. By the way, what makes legends legend?
