Deee-troit Basketball!
5 Tiny Details in Detroit: Become Human
Oh, this one is just fun. Amongst all of the tension swirling around between humans and androids, one of the hot topics is whether artificial beings will be permitted to participate in professional sports. A magazine article touts a prototype for a quarterback that can throw from end zone to end zone – basically Jeff George, only without all of the baggage.
Tuning into the sports channel reveals that Detroit will be playing in a key basketball game against Denver, and though the major focus is obviously the android controversy, there’s a neat little touch in there, too: Detroit’s team name is the Gears, a double meaning that can be considered a reference to the rise of technology, or alternatively, a parallel to Detroit’s NBA team, the Pistons.
Could this suggest that Blake Griffin is an android? Possibly, but our first guess would actually be Hedo Turkoglu. There’s no way that weird “ball” interview back in 2010 wasn’t a glitch.
