NBA 2K17 is the most authentic and real to life digital version of NBA basketball in a video game.
By authentic, that means player signature moves such as Carmelo Anthony‘s three to the dome gesture after he makes a 3-pointer, mascots on the sidelines, and even player interviews with sideline reporter Doris Burke.
If you have played NBA 2K before, you know what its like to experience the digital version of what you see on TV.
In the latest attempt at authenticity, 2k Sports tackles a portion of the culture that surrounds the NBA, which is the players' respective shoe-game.
The uniforms, accessories, down to the shoes have all been a big part of the culture that surrounds NBA basketball, but especially those kicks.
One of the first things that may come to mind when mentioning basketball and shoes is the signature Air Jordan pair that Nike and Jordan Brand have been selling for over 30 years.
Star players get endorsement deals to sport their own shoes on the court, and 2K Sports has recreated this in large part, in the upcoming iteration of their video game.
You will be able to equip your player on the court just like in real life, as the game will feature up to 300 3D-scanned shoes, some of which may be in your closet, which includes the Adidas Yeezy brand shoe that was inspired by Kanye West.
None of this may matter to you unless you are a bit of a sneakerhead with some love for the variety in materials and technology used in today's game.
Check out 2K Sports' trailer ‘Kicks Matter' to see their incredible new collection of shoes including the entire Nike line for retired legend Kobe Bryant.
