NBA Player 2k Tournament
In an attempt to provide some form of sports-related entertainment during this hiatus from sports ESPN will be broadcasting an NBA 2k tournament featuring NBA players. The tournament will begin this upcoming Friday (4/3/20) and will take place over a period of 10 days.
This is not the first attempt that the NBA has maid at providing some entertainment in the past couple of weeks. A few days ago the Philadelphia 76ers were scheduled to play the Phoenix Suns, but that was before the NBA season was postponed.
Instead, both teams selected a player to compete against each other in NBA 2k. The Sixers had Matisse Thybulle play against a Sun’s player and provided a live stream of the game. It was actually kind of funny to watch and hear Thybulle’s commentary. I mean you can’t complain too much right now, because what other options are there?
