There are still snickers among some basketball fans and observers whenever the idea of the NBA 2K League gets mentioned. The idea of playing video games professionally is still a foreign subject to many — especially those who skew older. That is even to some inside the NBA.
Before Wednesday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, coach Frank Vogel joked he would not even know how to shoot (that would be the right thumbstick, although, I agree that can be complicated) or pass (the ‘A’ button on XBox One).
The NBA is all in on this though.
