Being the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA 2K League isn’t something Jack Mascone dreamed about as a kid. To be fair, the league hasn’t been around that long — 2020 will be only its third season.
But besides that, Mascone’s dreams originally lay on the tennis court. When an injury forced Mascone to put down his racquet, he picked up something entirely different: an Xbox controller.
Several months later, Mascone — gamer tag “JBM” — qualified for the NBA 2K League’s draft, and Wizards District Gaming made him the first overall pick.
