NBA 2K Players Tournament

2K, the NBA and the NBPA have announced the “NBA 2K Players Tournament” where 16 current NBA players verse each other on NBA 2K20. 

It’s a 1v1 single-elimination tournament on Xbox One with the likes of Kevin Durant and Donovan Mitchell. The winner will select a charity to receive a $100,000 donation from 2K, the NBA and the NBPA to support the coronavirus relief efforts. 

So who are the players? 

NBA 2K Players Tournament
HERE’S THE 16 NBA PLAYERS IN A SINGLE-ELIMINATION TOURNAMENT

The tournament setup is determined by NBA 2K20 rating and by tenure, and each player chooses eight of today’s NBA teams used once only. 

If two of the same teams are selected, the away team gets the first choice. The first two rounds are single elimination and semifinals and finals are best of three.

Lachlan's passion for gaming started when he played DOS games like Commander Keen and Wacky Races. His passion grew when he discovered his Aunt's Atari 2600 and was given a Game Boy for Christmas from his Pa. His favourite console has been the PlayStation 1. Right now he has become a little lazy with gaming but still enjoys the occasional FIFA session. He hopes to get back into playing games more regularly so he can switch off from the real world like he did as a Kid. He's excited about the introduction of VR and hopes for some great VR titles.
