NBA 2K18 drops dazzling debut trailer, featuring plenty of Lonzo Ball and the Lakers

Who’s picking up the sticks in September?

2K Sports has the NBA 2K18 hype train charging full speed ahead, dropping the debut trailer for the upcoming installment of the leading basketball simulation franchise.

Shouts to 2K for paying homage to Prodigy of Mobb Deep by featuring “Shook Ones,” but that’s one of the most infamous verses of all-time they’re including and it’s completely butchered by censorship. Sure, they had to do it for the ESRB rating, but it’s edited so heavily it’s almost distracting.

Almost.
