Welcome to the Twilight Zone of Virtual Hoops

Two years away from NBA 2K’s market is like leaving civilization to discover we’ve started worshipping benchwarmers as deities. When my ‘absurdly priced’ random player card sold in hours, I realized:

1. Inflation hit harder than Shaq dunking on a mini-hoop 2. Player value algorithms now run on pure chaos theory 3. My real-world salary spreadsheet wept silent tears

As a data nerd, I respect this beautifully illogical economy. But seriously - who’s paying $100k virtual bucks for 2013 Kendrick Perkins?! [Insert mind-blown emoji]
