The Los Angeles Lakers trio of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Quinn Cook tried to get some 2K action going to pass the time in the bubble, and the results turned out to be catastrophic.

Things did not really go as planned, with the servers crashing even before they could get a game in. As it turns out, there were too many spectators on the feed, so the 2K servers were unable to cope.

Here's a clip of the actual moment the servers automatically disconnected their feed:

Cook could not help but take to Twitter to share how hilarious he thought this all was:

Even Ronnie 2K (real name Ronnie Singh), the Digital Marketing Director at 2K, commented on the Lakers guard's post:

NBA 2K's official Twitter account posted a screenshot later in the night, so it seems they may have finally got things working again after the epic fail:

Unsurprisingly, LeBron and Davis are superstars even in the world of 2K, to the extent that their star power literally overwhelmed the servers. 2K better make sure their servers are in good shape, because these players are going to be doing a lot of gaming over the next few months.

It's actually quite funny to see how these guys are trying to entertain themselves while inside the bubble. In all seriousness, though, this is a tougher task than it seems. Being quarantined is one thing, but to be stuck inside an isolated venue without access to the outside world and without your family by your side is surely going to be a considerable test for anyone.

At the end of the day, the players are making a big sacrifice and are taking a big risk just for the NBA to be able to restart the season, so props definitely need to be sent their way.
