The stars were shining at the recent NBA2K23 NBA Influencer Launch Event in Los Angeles, CA. A number of past and present players were in attendance including Devin Booker, Brandon Jennings, Matt Barnes, and Cam Payne. There were also a number of celebrities including Soulja Boy and Swae Lee at the event. Both Soulja Boy and Swae Lee took some time to field questions and discuss NBA 2K23 ahead of the game's release.

And it is safe to say that they are both hyped to play the game.

“I don't really play with no team, I just go straight to the My Park online,” Soulja Boy told Vibe. “Create my own character, and just get it goin' in the My Park… We hop straight online, squad up with the homies, and we get it poppin' online.”

Swae Lee revealed which team he wants to play with in NBA 2K23.

“I think I'm going to be on the LA Lakers,” Lee told Vibe. “I live in LA… plus me and LeBron would probably go crazy.”

But NBA 2K23 is breaking barriers and reaching new heights. The game is out now and has already received great reviews. This could end up becoming one of the most popular editions of the NBA 2K series ever.

Swae Lee left us with a good laugh during his interview as well.
