An event like this in NBA 2K could bring a unique twist to gameplay and make matches feel fresh and unpredictable. Here’s why it could work:
1. Balanced Gameplay: It would give big men, who often play a supporting role, the chance to shine and take on a more prominent scoring role. It also challenges players to adapt their playstyle.
2. Skill Challenge: Guards and shooters would need to rely on driving, passing, and mid-range shots, emphasizing teamwork and basketball IQ over simply shooting threes.
3. Fresh Mechanics: Events like this shake up the meta and keep the game exciting for longtime players who might feel gameplay has grown repetitive.
4. Role Reversal Fun: It’s a chance for players to experience the game from a completely different perspective—seeing centers splash threes while guards focus on other aspects.
5. Community Engagement: This type of event could spark discussions, content creation, and unique challenges among players and streamers, drawing more attention to the game.

It’d be fun and chaotic but could also highlight new strategies and bring diversity to 2K gameplay.

As a Celtics fan, the Mavs are a good team, and shouldn't be underestimated. But the Celtics did run through them in the finals, for a few reasons. Luka was dragging himself through each game, the Celtics had much more playoff and finals experience, and Joe Mazzula's coaching decisions did much better at stopping the Mavs plans than Kidd's decisions did.

#

hearty obsidian
#

and if you'd do your research, he's missed the most shots out of any other play this season

#

scoring 30 a game doesn't matter if you're missing more shots than you make

#

and you know what that means?

#

if lamelo was on a good team, he'd be a bench warmer

#

because he'd have to be making all of those shots that he's missing

#

and his shot selection is HORRIBLE

#

but the hornets are such a dead franchise that they can't do anything about it

hearty obsidian
#

but the point still stands, the hornets being an awful team allows him to look better than he actually is

stuck solar
# hearty obsidian if lamelo was on a good team, he'd be a bench warmer

this is an overexageration as well. He is a great player, but his decision making is atrocious. He takes some of the stupidest looking shots of any player, maybe ever. The thing is, he sometimes makes them, because he is good. But he just needs to learn how to play smarter. And I think he'll happily stay on the Hornets if they keep letting him play how he wants to play

#

I think he's more concerned with being out there having fun than he is about winning a championship or whatever

hearty obsidian
#

which is exactly why the hornets have a dead franchise, can you imagine how bad it would be if lamelo had to play on a team like the lakers who are in need of more shooters, and he bricks 14 shots a game?

#

i feel like a lot, and i mean a LOT of other point guards can do what lamelo is doing on that team, because it's very easy to do when you take the same amount of shots as two starters

#

i would never call lamelo "great" because the term "great" goes with "greatness" and what i'm witnessing with lamelo is not "greatness"

#

lamelo is good

grave glade
#

Lamelo is a real life 2k player from rec randoms

stuck solar
#

I would say that he's a great passer at least, but I definitely don't think he's a smart shooter, a great shooter, or a great team leader. I'm really hoping Brandon Miller grows into the leader that team needs, and he can kind of hold Lamelo under control a bit

hearty obsidian
#

lamelo does have some solid dimes, which is sad that he doesn't realize that he could just do what CP did

#

use his passing to have defenders guessing, and score that way

Chet is like a budget version of wemby, Franz is better than miller and Murray, JJJ is a better shooter than the other front court players, and Ants a beast who clearly shows he cares more about winning than stats this year

#

Actually I’m wrong. Chet shoots slightly better (granted he’s on a significantly better team and healthier team) while also mobes having one of his best shooting careers. I’d still think jjj is more reliable (especially for the 3 and D) than the other front courts except Chet and wemby but Chet is a budget.

WHAT’S TRENDING: EAST POWERS ASSERT THEMSELVES

As we enter the final full week of 2024, let’s catch you up on a few of the biggest stories around the league, beginning with a race atop the East among championship contenders.

Surging Bucks: After a 2-8 start, the Bucks rattled off 12 wins in the span of 15 games to put the league on notice. Their closing statement? An emphatic win in the Emirates NBA Cup championship in Vegas over the West-leading Thunder.

Greek Freak Force: The NBA’s top scorer (32.7 ppg), Giannis Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee to a perfect 7-0 record in Cup play, earning MVP honors while saving his best performance for the championship.

Deer Duo: Giannis and his co-star Damian Lillard (25.7 ppg) are combining for 58.4 ppg, which would be the third-highest scoring average by a duo over the last 50 seasons.

East Clash Tonight: On Monday, the Bucks travel to the United Center to battle Zach LaVine and the Bulls (8pm/et, NBA League Pass).

Cavs’ Rebuttal: While the Bucks left Las Vegas hotter than the desert sun, the Cavs reminded the league why they’ve owned the best record in the NBA for nearly two months, defeating Milwaukee 124-101 on Friday.

With a 25-4 record, the Cavs are off to their best start since 2008-09, including a 15-1 record at home. The key?

A Potent Offense: Cleveland leads the NBA in both FG% (50.5) and 3P% (40.5), putting them on pace to be the first team to eclipse a 50/40 shooting split throughout an entire season.

Monday History? Tonight, the Cavs will look to match their ‘08-09 squad for the best 30-game start in franchise history as they host Utah (7pm/et, NBA League Pass).

Champs Lurking: Right behind Cleveland atop the East standings since October? The reigning champion Celtics, who lead the NBA in 3-point attempts (51.0) and makes (18.7).

Their Engine? Jayson Tatum, who joins Nikola Jokić as the only players to lead their team in total points, rebounds and assists.

Strength vs. Strength: Boston’s offense faces a tough test tonight in Orlando against the fourth-place Magic (7pm/et, NBA League Pass), who are allowing the second-fewest points in the NBA (103.9).

Magic Fight: Despite being without its two leading scorers, Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero, Orlando took down Miami on Saturday to improve to 18-12 — but now must also go without Moritz Wagner.

Here Comes NY: Winners of eight of its past 10 games, New York continues to climb up the standings, fueled by a well-rounded attack that ranks second in offensive rating (119.7) — trailing only Cleveland for the best in the NBA.

Fire 5: The Knicks’ starting 5 is averaging a league-high 96.1 ppg — the third-most since starting lineups were first tracked in 1970-71.

KAT Cooking: Fresh off an unforgettable return to Minnesota, Karl-Anthony Towns is posting 24.5 ppg and an NBA-best 14.0 rpg.

4 In A Row? On Monday, New York will look to earn its fourth straight win as they host Toronto at MSG (7:30pm/et, NBA League Pass).

WHAT’S TRENDING: WILD WEST RACE HEATS UP

Out West, the top four squads are all riding hot streaks, led by the Thunder’s NBA-best seven-game heater — giving them a three-game cushion atop the standings.

Right behind them? The Grizzlies, Rockets and Mavericks — all separated by just 1.5 games.

Rumbling Thunder: Owners of first place since Nov. 25, the Thunder haven’t lost a regular-season game since Dec. 1, thanks to a historic defense that leads the league in opponents’ ppg (103.1), opponents FG% (42.6), steals (12.1) and DefRtg (103.0).

Winning Formula: With just 11.9 turnovers per game, OKC is on pace to become the first team to record more steals than turnovers since turnovers were first tracked in 1977-78.

All-Around SGA: Ranked No. 3 on the current Kia MVP Ladder, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander powers the Thunder. He’s the only player in the NBA averaging 30+ points, 6+ assists and 2+ steals.

8 Straight? Tonight, OKC will look to extend its win streak as it hosts Jordan Poo ...
