NBA Jam aficionados will recall this phrase when a player makes two baskets back-to-back. It's a reminder that if that player makes one more basket before the other team scores, he will be "On fire!" Once a Jam player gets on fire, he has a much greater chance of making shots, unlimited turbo, and ability to goaltend with impunity. Being on fire doesn't guarantee that shots will go in, though. At some point, if the computer decides you are too far ahead, those basketballs engulfed in flames will brick off the rim all the same. The best way for the opposing team to extinguish the fire is to go in for a simple dunk. No need to do anything fancy that may run the risk of getting blocked.
NBA Hangtime introduced the concept of Team Fire, which could be earned by executing three alley-oops in a row. If a team gets team fire, you might as well call the game because they can run up the score quite quickly despite efforts by the computer to cheat and keep the scores close.
This concept was on my mind today because in AZ we had a high of 95 and so the "he" in the headline is in fact, me.

But then whenever I tried playing I'd get my ass whooped.
In Bloomington there's an arcade bar that now has NBA Jams. If you're ever around here let's do a competition. Along with a typing challenge.
