When I see this. I think EA is trying to suck up to the NBA to get that exclusive NBA deal. Hope I am wrong.

2k brings in too much money for the NBA to even consider an exclusive deal. Plus 2k just signed a 7 year deal with NBA earlier this year.

Imagine how many future NBA players will be positively affected by this?

I’m all for companies doing things for charity but Live clearly built this up as a Live20 reveal. The sole reason I follow their social media is because of the game not their charitable work. It didn’t need emoji eyes etc a week before this happening.

I was hoping for some live 20 details but this court is fricking awesome. I grew up spending most of my time on outside hard courts and playing on something like this would have been insane. The game has moved more towards being specialized with indoor leagues, AAU, and summer leagues. Maybe this will bring some love back to the street ball that has heavy influence in the way the game is played today.

Cover reveal was during the NBA Awards last season. Awards show is Monday night.

I wonder.

Haha Yea was gonna say anyone who has seen the custom courts they chose for their game should be worried. I don't know why they are so into epileptic colors but man.



Still cool. Chain nets are best. Less color is better.



It's a living!
