THE world may be in lockdown but that doesn’t stop the NBA season from carrying on. With the help of #2KSim the rest of the NBA season has been able to play out since it’s hiatus on March 11. The final showdown between the Lakers and Bucks has just wrapped up with the Lakers winning 4-3. Things weren’t looking pretty at first with the Bucks leading earlier with 3-1 but the Lakers climbed to the top fast scoring 3 in a row.
NBA 2K20 cover star and #2KSim Finals MVP Anthony Davis (#2KSim Finals: 27.6 PPG, 14.3 RPG, 2.3 APG, 1.7 SPG, 1.6 BPG) shared his thoughts on the Lakers’ virtual championship:
“The Lakers winning the NBA Finals in the #2KSim is really fun. Given the realism of NBA 2K and their past predictions, it’s cool to see our potential get recognized. It makes you excited to get back on the court and try to bring a real ring to Los Angeles!”
