Having played as the Los Angeles Lakers in NBA 2K for what seems like over a decade, it’s easy to say with confidence that sometimes the creators get players’ avatars down to a science, and other times they fail miserably.
For instance, despite having Kobe Bryant on the cover of their games on multiple occasions, for whatever reason, they still struggle with getting The Black Mamba’s facial features correct.
I'm not sure who this guy in my 2K screenshot is. He got my name and my jersey on though…

On the other hand, that doesn’t seem to be a problem for the team this year as most of their 2K characters look extremely accurate, none more than rookie, Brandon Ingram.
