I mean, I've been there 18 years, so I've seen obviously both franchises metamorphosize, you know, in real time.

But NBA specifically, like they, you know, a lot of the way it's played now is there's so many modes, right?

Like you have a GM mode where you can like actually do salary cap stuff and construct a roster, hire a coach with a different play style.

Yeah, you are confined by the salary cap that the NBA provides.

I feel like this is a class.

You know what's so crazy?

That's kind of what's fun about it.

Obviously the NBA is so exciting because of the player transactions.

Just the trade deadline was a couple weeks ago.

And so people will see if they can make that trade in 2K.

So when that Luka Doncic crazy trade happened last year, the game didn't allow you to do it.

But it happened in real life.

And that's what everybody was so fired up about.

Right.

If the game doesn't allow you to do it, then how is this trade so one-sided that it's happening?

It's pretty crazy.

It's amazing that the game and the real-life game are intertwined in every way.

It's fascinating.

We define basketball.

Basketball defines us.
