Very typical of me to pull up on the last day of voting.


How does this chise separate from your other work?
This is the longest running MyPlayer that I've ever done. Derek Baldwin originated in 2K14 and just kept going.

What was your biggest hurdle of this chise & how did you overcome?
Keeping myself engaged. Keeping the readers engaged. DB won..... a lot. So adding new characters. Creating new storylines.

Favorite Memory?
I have a couple...
Pulling Baldwin out of retirement. This was just going to be a coaching chise with everybody's favorite player. But then it grew into something else. The readers were asking for it. And it wasn't a bad idea. I think it's the first time I made an adjustment in real time like that.

Then of course bringing that first trophy back to Brooklyn. Philly knocked us out of the playoffs twice. We had to end their reign.
