A funny NBA 2k18/Kyrie story

[TheDude1]

So, I play a lot of NBA 2k18 on the One. I've got a regular crew of about ten guys I play with (including @JimboBBN... whassup, sweetie?). One of them is a 96, which is really high ranking, and which brings with it the ability to pull anyone lower than you off the waiting spot for a game and get yourself in.

So, three nights ago, three of the guys wander onto a Park, and who is playing? Kyrie Irving, some low rated guy (turns out it was Kyrie's brother?) and apparently Kevin Durant. They had the big NBA logo by their name, and there were like 50 people following them around the courts.

Kyrie, Durant, and other guy get on a court to play, and my 96 buddy thinks "Well hell; I want to play with Kyrie" and so goes over to pull the lower rated guy off the court and get on.

Except that the game makers didn't plan for this, and Kyrie apparently doesn't have an actual rating, just an "NBA" rating, which is apparently very low when it figures who can pull whom off the court

So my buddy pulls Kyrie off and plays with KD and Kyrie's brother They didn't pass him the ball for the first few minutes

Anyway... random off-season story

The ungodly number of them coupled with the perfect placement leads me to believe there’s some seedy Morse code going on

I’ve been in a game before with Kyrie. If you went on your phone and viewed his 2K card, he’s a 92 ovr so that’s why he got booted.

Ahhhhh, interesting! You'd think they would make guys like that a 99

I've seen him on videos before... guy clearly plays a lot of 2k.

What’s your guy on 2K?

I had a hard time following this. You actually have characters that walk up to a court in the game, insert themselves, and then the actually game starts? Do you have to, like, find a parking space first and tie your shoes, etc?

So basically in the "Park" game (i.e. the 3 on 3 multiplayer game) you walk your guy around a park full of basketball courts. Other people are walking around also, looking for games. You can then stand next to a court at the "next up" spot, and you then get to play in the next game, either with random other people who want to play, or with a group of people you know.

Here is a rough shot of what it looks like. You can see some folks playing, and some standing around (although this is a shot from an early "cut scene" of sorts, so there normally aren't a bunch of spectators... they are just there for effect.)

No parking space or shoelaces
