Forget the underdog status and small-market stories — the Utah Jazz are moving up in the world. In spite of that stuff, the team has averaged 50 wins a season for three years running and won multiple playoff series. Also: Rudy Gobert is pulling down year-end hardware on the regular and Donovan Mitchell is becoming a mainstream star.
But the good vibes don’t end there. The Jazz and their star duo of Mitchell and Gobert are breaking out in the virtual world, too. Specifically, in basketball video games.
In a live stream event on Monday featuring 2K guru Ronnie Singh (better known to gamers as Ronnie 2K), hoops host Alexis Morgan and 2K TV’s Chris Manning, the first batch of player ratings for the upcoming NBA 2K20 video game were unveiled on Twitter.
