This is a trend that is becoming increasingly popular among NBA players as a preferred hobby—and sometimes even a side hustle—and the latest installment of the NBA 2K franchise, which will be released in a couple of months, will feature gameplay that reflects this trend.
In a press release issued today, the developers of NBA 2K22 revealed new dimensions to the game's gameplay, one of which is Hidden Talents, a section that allows you to have a player you create pursue a career in fashion or the world of hip hop. This means that your player may turn out to be the next Damian Lillard. Even though there isn't much information available about the specifics at this time, it is known that this option will be available for the PlayStation 5 and X-Box Series X.
Candace Parker is a woman who lives in the United States.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Candace Parker, Luka Doncic, Kevin Durant (with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), and Dirk Nowitzki (with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) would be the cover stars for NBA 2K22. Parker will be the first female to appear on the cover of the NBA 2K video game.
Parker, a WNBA legend, acknowledged the significance of the moment in a statement she released on the day her cover was announced.
In a statement released in response to the news, Parker said, "The cover of MT NBA 2K22 is such an important platform for inspiring young ballers, and I wanted future WNBA stars to know that they can be cover athletes too."“Because representation matters, this is a historic moment in the development of the sport and the series. Being a part of this historic cover is a testament to the growth and rising popularity of the women's game, and I'm honored to be the first female cover athlete to serve as the face of NBA 2K.”
The Milwaukee Bucks are a professional basketball team based in Milwaukee.
Doncic, for his part, expressed his delight at the opportunity to represent his native Slovenia on the cover. Making the global cover of 2K22 MT is a proud moment for Doncic, who shared his thoughts in a statement.“I am honored to have the opportunity to represent my country on a special cover that features the colors of the Slovenian flag. Basketball has given me so much, and I'm excited to give back this year by collaborating with 2K Foundations to improve the lives of young children all over the world.”
The release date for NBA 2K22 is September 10. Then, fans will be able to witness all of the hip hop antics that have taken place in the most recent 2K game.
