NBA 2K franchise has evolved a lot since it made its debut in the year 1999. In the last few years, the series has definitely gained a significant improvement in terms of graphical changes and more features in each successive installment.

However, despite their best efforts, the makers of NBA 2K games have somehow failed to generate a big hype for the entire franchise. Still, they try to keep it alive by organizing certain events so that fans have extreme feelings for their titles as other players have for more renowned heavyweights like Call of Duty or League of Legends.

Still, there seems to be no further change, to say the least. An ongoing viral clip, shown below, is a perfect example of why NBA 2K isn’t causing much of an impact.

NBA 2K gamer makes everyone laugh out loud

Jake Lucky, who’s a popular gamer and streamer known for his skills in Valorant, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty, shared a funny video on his Twitter account. While giving it a caption, he tried to show how NBA 2K trash talks feel like when gamers manage to win a match.

As one can see, quite clearly, this individual seems to be going all out on everyone present around him after winning the game. While having a celebration isn’t bad and should be a huge moment for anyone, this one seems to go out of limits somehow. Probably he forgot that it was just one victory in one match for him, in an event having a prize of $100,000.

All things considered, however, this kind of reaction is enough for any regular gamer to burst out in laughter.
