NBA 2K isn’t a basketball game, it’s a platform for gamers, hoopers and tastemakers to come together and create what’s next in culture. Our challenge was to rise above the video game category to put the 2K franchise at the center of basketball and popular culture.

Baseketball gets interesting when you realize that it is where culture collides – unlike many other sports it influences everything from fashion to music to art. It’s where what’s next is always on display, and not just for the game.

For NBA 2K20, we created a campaign that featured an array of next makers who are currently crafting culture. Starting with cover athletes Anthony Davis, possibly the next NBA champion, and Dwyane Wade, the next NBA legend, we created game covers that told their stories through easter eggs from their past and future.
