Given the rise of Giannis and celebrity in the NBA, and the slogan 2K19 of "They will know your name", this seems to be a good fit for coverage. The 23-year-old was an All-Star and a second All-NBA team in 2018.
"NBA 2K19" will launch on September 11, 2018 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One.
