Since 1999, NBA 2K has been a staple of basketball-loving gamers who could pick their favorite teams or players to play with and go to work against their friends or the computer.
The game has improved a ton since then, obviously, to where you can play story modes now and create your own player to go through an NBA career with.
Another thing that has improved massively is the graphics department.
