All right, guys, got someone taller than me today. Hello. Yeah, it's only happened, I think, five times on the show. You know, I'm always that guy. Yeah.
Just, you know, be the taller person for the day. And some people need it, you know, just to kind of.
Someone to look up to for once. I'm sure it's the most common question you get asked, how tall you are.
I'm 6'10". But, you know, I've been gaming for about a decade now, so I'm probably like 6'9", to be honest. You do shrink as you age. You know, because especially sitting in a chair a lot of times, you know, you kind of shrink and I got bad posture.

Chapter 2: What led Kristopher London to start his YouTube channel?
Fortnite? No, dude, I haven't played Fortnite in years. I'm on MLB The Show right now.
Chapter 3: What are the current trends in sports consumption?
I was a 2K guy, but, you know, now I'm playing baseball. Damn.
That sounds like a hard game to get good at.
Chapter 4: How has social media changed the landscape of sports?
No, it is actually very hard, but that's why I like it. Because I'm like, yo, this is a challenge. And now I'm actually hitting the ball on rookies.
Okay, okay. I'm getting there. Were you nice at 2K? Were you playing ranked and everything?
You know, I like to say I was an entertainer on the 2K stakes. I wasn't competitive. That makes sense. Those guys that compete are insane. They don't miss.
Chapter 5: What challenges do college athletes face with monetization?
They're like glitches, man. And then now you've got to compete with cheaters with rigged controllers and stuff, so I'm good. Is that a thing now? That's really why I don't game anymore.
Chapter 6: How do personal brands impact NBA players today?
It's just there's too many cheaters. I'm very competitive, so... In the eyes of playing online, I want it to be fair, and a lot of companies just don't have good anti-cheat, so I just, all right, I'll be an offline player.
Chapter 7: What is the future of the BIG3 league?
Plus, I'm an old head now, so I've just accepted my fate. That's crazy that people are cheating on controller now, because I've been a PC gamer my whole life, and people always cheated, but never on controllers growing up.
Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, with the technology now, too, I don't know if it's just a thing to, you know, hard to keep up with or what. But yeah, there's definitely guys. I think it's called a Zen. I don't know what it is in 2025. But yeah, for the last few years, man, guys have been just Zenning on 2K. And you can notice it if they're using it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You'll know what are they doing?
Like, how do you know?
Chapter 8: How does Kristopher London balance content creation and personal life?
So it's like you get a perfect release from like half court consistently like one Okay, but like three dude, like it's just it's and they don't even hide it cuz they know like they're not gonna get banned or whatever So once I seen that and again, I haven't played 25 So I don't know if they actually did get patched but 24 23 like yeah, it was good What's the best 2k in your opinion?
Ooh, great question. As an OG, man, I was really like, I got to say 16 and 17 were my favorite. Warriors. Yeah, 2K, 16, 17. I think it was KD on the cover and Paul George. Paul George might have been 18. I don't know. Whatever Paul George was on the cover, that was probably my favorite.
PG was on the cover?
Yeah, it was like... Was that him on the Thunder? I think it was Pacers. Oh, Pacers, okay. Right before he started getting traded. The injuries. Yeah, what a career he could have had, right? You know, yeah, man, he could have been... I feel like he was on his way to be MVP, honestly. Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised. He was competing with Braun.
There was one year, and I think it was recently, with the Clippers. He was in top three running, and then the injuries. He was just battling injuries constantly. And you can relate to that issue. I can. I can. That's pretty much my story, man, on how I even got here in the first place. If it wasn't for injuries, I probably wouldn't be sitting here, honestly.
Injuries and concussions.
Concussions, yes. I've had my history with those. Not even basketball related, crazy enough. Everyone kind of assumes like, oh, how do you get concussion in basketball? Well, it didn't start in basketball. I was just in two bad car accidents in high school that kind of followed into my basketball career because... I was more receptive to having a concussion with any kind of blow to the head.
And I got elbowed a couple times and, like, right in between the eyes. And then I was getting concussions in games. And then I lost... My scholarships, you know, just kind of talking about that. Yeah, I think it was going into my junior year when the accident happened, the car accident. And I had about 10 D1 offers. And then I missed that whole summer because I just couldn't play without it.
I actually tried to play. I went to an AAU circuit here in Vegas. Oh, yeah? And I just couldn't do it. Like the lights, I remember just I could not play with my lights.
