Adam Morrison: X-Box 360 Lover

June 28th, 2006 | Posted by PostmanR

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about Adam Morrison around here (namely because we became distraught after Gonzaga knocked our Indiana Hoosiers out of the NCAA tournament and he hasn’t cried on the court in awhile), but with the NBA Draft looming tonight, we felt it was appropriate to delve into Morrison’s obsession with video games.

Apparently, EA Sports is rolling out a series of commercials starting tonight during the draft for NBA Live ‘07, which will feature Mr. Morrison. (You can peep some video of that stuff here. I haven’t gotten any of them to work, so good luck. Guess you might just have to wait until tonight!)

We all know he and his good butt buddy J.J. Redick play each other in Halo online, but apparently Morrison plays a whole host of other games whenever he get the chance. From a recent interview with IGN:

“Pretty much all I do in my spare time is play games,” laughs Morrison. “Xbox Live is where it’s at, I’m always online.”

If Morrison plays video games with the same emotion and intensity with which he plays hoops (which this interview certainly indicates), we imagine him standing up, pacing around and talking trash into his X-Box 360 online headset. It’s a scary image, indeed.

(Small update: The Mighty MJD has a video up of one of these Morrison commmercials.)
