Last week Twitter was set ablaze by the awful leaked screenshots from NBA Live. Among other atrocities, the game did the seemingly impossible and made model Dallas Mavericks small forward Chandler Parsons ugly and turned Dirk Nowitzki into Nicholas Cage for some reason.
On the Los Angeles Lakers' end of things, the game for some reason used the same character model for New York Knicks' lottery pick Kristaps Porzingis as Lakers' first rounder Larry Nance, Jr:

Nance himself was not impressed:

With NBA 2K releasing today, Nance asked Twitter if they could help him out with a screenshot of his character in 2K:
Someone send me a screenshot of me in 2K!

Ask #LakersTwitter and ye shall receive:

Suffice it to say the rookie was much more impressed with his new character model than the one on Live. Being in a videogame without having to create yourself seems awesome.
