Over the past few decades, gaming has become a huge part of the sporting culture. For basketball, NBA superstars too, enjoy their free time by spending hours and hours playing the “NBA 2K” game. In recent history, NBA 2K has become so popular that NBA has its own official NBA 2K league. In fact, last year during the lockdown, several stars from around the league like Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, Zach LaVine, Trae Young among several others, had participated in an NBA 2K Players Tournament.

This year too, the 2K Games has released the newest edition of the game- NBA 2K22. In the past month, 2K had announced Luka Doncic, Kevin Durant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dirk Nowitzki and Candace Parker as the cover of the game over three editions of NBA 2K22. And recently, 2K also disclosed the players’ ratings – something the fans wait eagerly for all year round.
