With a new twist on the fantasy sports phenomenon, the company said that eight real life NBA superstars have signed up to participate as team owners, while online gamers playing exclusively on Xbox Live online entertainment network and PlayStation Network will have the exciting opportunity to be drafted onto one of the NBA superstars' NBA 2K9 fantasy team, according to the company.
"The Other Season is an amazing opportunity for fans to be on the virtual team of their favorite NBA player," said Greg Thomas, senior vice president of sports development at 2K. "We can't wait to see how these teams match up against each other throughout the season."
According to the company, NBA 2K9 cover athlete Kevin Garnett (Boston Celtics) will be one of the many fantasy team owners for The Other Season, along with the other NBA superstars Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia 76ers), Carlos Boozer (Utah Jazz), Chauncey Billups (Detroit Pistons), Steve Nash (Phoenix Suns), Greg Oden (Portland Trailer Blazers), Derrick Rose (Chicago Bulls), and Monta Ellis (Golden State Warriors). 2K Sports said that it will make a contribution of $10,000 to the charity of choice of the NBA player whose fantasy team wins The Other Season championship.
