Through the years, 2K Sports had habitually outdone itself with every installment of their flagship game and their latest installment, NBA 2K18, stays true to the trend.

For weeks, the hype has been taking over social media by storm leading to the game’s release. The player ratings, jersey madness, new features, and trailers have all added up to what promises to be another top-flight video game experience for everyone.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns, a self-professed video game junkie, isn’t one to hide his excitement that even his virtual self joined in on the celebration.
