Basketball is the sport of choice in the Philippines. You can see it played in every barangay, from makeshift hoops to full-sized basketball courts. You're never too far away from picking up a basketball and getting in some practice with your friends. Basketball was introduced to the Philippines in 1910, and the first men's national team won the Far Eastern Championship Games in 1913, with the country joining the FIBA in 1936. The rest, they say, is history, as local leagues such as the PBA and international leagues such as the NBA have large followings in the Philippines.
NBA 2K23 has Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker on the cover, and that sets the tone for the game. While retaining all the aspects of the previous installments, 2K23 brings back the Jordan Challenges. This places you in the seat of the GOAT himself, Michael Jordan.
You can relive the 1982 NCAA title game that pits Jordan, a first-year North Carolina Tar Heel, against the Georgetown Hoyas, with less than 20 seconds to play. Do you hit the shot and put the entire basketball world on notice? You can even carve out your own career in MyCareer mode, a staple of the franchise. Do you become the new GOAT, or do you succumb to media pressure? Your destiny is in your own hands.

HONOR X8B
HONOR’s Xa-series smartphones impressed me last year. HONOR’s entry to mid-range lineup was reasonably priced and each model had its niche special feature. Among the standouts last year was HONOR X8a, an entry mid-ranger with a massive 100-megapixel camera that shot out the competition. This year, the HONOR X8b is a worthy successor to the X8a.
