Making this team list to help owners decide what team to pick. Was gonna add graphics to this List but this shit is ass 🙁

1.BUCKS

Giannis is THANOS with snipers & locks all around him. Giannis is arguably the best player in 2K history…combine that with amazing role players & Bucks are unstoppable. You can play 5 out with Giannis running the show, run pick & roll/pops with Giannis or just let him dead zone. Either way, you lose.

BEST LINEUP
Jrue Holiday
Grayson Allen/Pat Connaughton
Khris Middleton
Bobby Portis JR.
Giannis Antetokounmpo

2. LAKERS

This team is very strong since Lebron has HOF Dimer & Bullet. HOF dimer allows AD & Dwight to green every three. With that being said you put AD at the 4 & Dwight at the 5 & you’ll lock up the paint + horse everyone. Westbrook still has all his badges & greens every shot + Melo is a SNIPER. Lakers have ELITE defense & offense…theres no weak points at all. Lakers are one of the few teams that can go toe to toe with the Bucks. AD on Giannis 🙂

BEST LINEUP
Russell Westbrook
Carmelo Anthony
Lebron James
Anthony Davis
Dwight Howard

3. NETS

Nets are a well rounded team with 3 ELITE ball handlers in Ben Simmons, KD & Kyrie. the tricky thing to this team is wether you wanna use Ben or Drummond at the 5 or try to play both at the same time. Ben is good at center but he can easily get horsed. Drummond on the other hand might be a top 5 center on the game. all though this team is stacked with talent you just cant draft anyone to play with this team. Someone like Kuhrow on Ben Simmons is a real sheet shitter. To use this team to its full potential you need 4 top tier players in the league on 1 line.

BEST LINEUP
Ben Simmons
Kyrie Irving
Joe Harris
Kevin Durant
Andre Drummond

NEXT BEST
Kyrie Irving
Seth Curry
Joe Harris
Kevin Durant
Andre Drummond/Ben Simmons

4. 76ers

76ers have the 3 things you want on its 2k. An ELITE ball handler, a DOMINANT lock & a big. Thankfully for the 6ers Embiid is the best center on the game, Harden is top 5 ball handlers, & thybulle is up there for one of the best locks. Then you have Tobias who will green every shot along side either Danny Green or Tyrese Maxey at the 2. 76ers are loaded & you would have to try very hard to lose with them. I could see someone messing around with a lineup of DeAndre Jordan at the 5 & Embiid at the 4…could be GLITCHY.

BEST LINEUP
James Harden
Danny Green
Matisse Thybulle
Tobias Harris
Joel Embiid

5. CLIPPERS

Clippers are very good & strong team but they can be difficult to play with. I say this because Zubac is a decent center but he has 26 speed turning him into the Croatian Zombie. So with that in mind you NEED a dominant Kawhi & Paul George. kawhi is a MEGA LOCK & will clamp anyone he guards. Paul George has good handles, can green, poster & play ELITE defense. So you would have to find the right balance of VBA players to make this team work. With the best lineup I posted you would have Paul George guard rim. He has all the defensive badges you need at center & he’s big enough to where he can do it. 🙂

BEST Lineup
Norman Powell
Paul George
Kawhi Leonard
Nicolas Batum/Marmus Morris SR.
Robert Covington

NEXT BEST THING
Norman Powell/Luke Kennard
Paul George
Kawhi Leonard
Robert Covington
Ivica Zubac

6. GRIZZLIES

Grizzlies & Clippers are interchangeable in my eyes. Whatever team suits your VBA playset is the one you should go with. Grizzlies have everything you need with an ELITE ball handler in Ja, 2 locks in JJJ & Brooks followed by an ELITE horse Steven Adams. bane is also a complete sniper…this team is so souped & loaded. JJJ can guard ball & the rim dude is insane.

BEST LINEUP
Ja Morant
Desmond Bane
Dillon Brooks
Jaren Jackson JR.
Steven Adams

7. WARRIORS

Warriors are a hard team to play with but they are very good in the right hands. You need someone who can 3 hunt effectively with Curry while also having great role player users. Looney is ASS & Wiseman isn’t much better. Klay & Wiggins r souped but Draymond is VERY hard to constantly green with. So if you cant meet all the requirements to make this team good then you should stay away from the Warriors.

BEST LINEUP
Steph Curry
Klay Thompson
Andrew Wiggins
Draymond Green
James Wiseman/Kevon Looney

8. SUNS

The Suns are good but at the same time you need the right users for them to work. 1. CP3 is solid but is hard to use on offense since he is short, has a slow shot & doesn’t have good finishing badges. 2. Ayton is solid but Mcgee is essentially the better center on 2k. Ayton can green mids & threes plays good enough D & can horse a little but Javale is just a super horse & is athletic af. 3. Mikal bridges nor Cpu is a LOCK LOCK. Bridges is fine but he isn’t ELITE by any stretch. 4. Booker has shit handles so he’s a spot up shooter. So what I’m saying is if you don’t have ELITE users then pick an easier team to use.

BEST LINEUP
Chris Paul/Landry Shamet
Devin Booker
Mikal Bridges
Cam Johnson
Javale McGee/Deandre Ayton

9. HAWKS

Hawks have an ELITE ball handler in Tare Young & an ELITE center in Clint Capela. The thing the Hawks are lacking is a perimeter lock. De’Andre Hunter is a decent lock but you would much rather have the 2k23 Hawks roster with Dejounte Murray. Kevin Huerter is a sneaky good player & John collins is very solid at the 4. The Hawks are very good if u get an ELITE ball handler & ELITE center. This team is can be a better version of the Warriors if played correctly.

BEST LINEUP
Trae Young
Kevin Huerter
De’Andre Hunter
John Collins
Clint Capela

10. JAZZ

The Jazz are a very interesting 2k team. They have a good ball handler in Donovon Mitchell & the best rim protector Rudy Gobert. Royce O’Neale, Mike Conley & Donovon Mitchell all play solid perimeter defense. Rudy Gay has ALWAYS been GLITCHY in 2k so you start him at the 4. Even tho I have the Jazz at the 10th ranked team, I could easily see someone win the Finals with them. They’re just a super braindead team that can beat almost anyone.

BEST LINEUP
Mike Conley
Donovan Mitchell
Royce O’Neale
Rudy Gay
Rudy Gobert

VBA CONFERENCE FINALS

With the VBA season coming to an end, 4 teams are left fighting for a title. I take a quick dive into who I think will win the conference finals matchups & why.

ECF

The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn has made it this far with an unorthodox line up but it’s clearly been working in their favor. The bucks in my opinion should be able to take this one, they’ve been consistent all season and have the BUCKS, but a 5 game series between two of the best NBA teams in the game can certainly go either way. The nets don’t really have a game plan, they’re play style is a lot of movement and brain dead drives, while the bucks definitely have more of a strategic play style, led by Giannis. With that being said I think the Bucks win 3-1 with ease.

WCF

The Memphis Grizzlies take on the Phoenix Suns

Now this should be a very good series. Both teams are led by MVP candidates. I think Cleveland Cash has something to prove against this team. The suns do have more depth, with both lines having a combined 1 loss , I’m not sure how the grizzlies second line matches up with the suns second line and that may be where Memphis struggles. The suns have been rolling all season but I don’t see this series going how the season went, it’ll be a close one. With that being said I have the Suns winning a nail bitter 3-2.

I have the Grizzlies winning this matchup 3-2(CLEVELANDs line 3-0, Kyle line 0-2). I believe that CLEVELAND CASH will be able to DOMINATE on offense while the PFoty in my eyes CLUTCH KING will lock up any & everybody he faces. This Grizzlies line has some of the best role players in the league in Wade, Eli & Woohdy. With that being said they’ll have to defeat the MVP USERPICK in order to get to the finals but I don’t think it’ll be a tall task for the Grizzlies. Even tho I voted for User Pick for MVP I think CLEVELAND CASH has had the most impressive season out of everyone in the VBA. He came into the league with no line set in place & told Kyle to get him whoever…not many people have the BALLS to do that. If cash was able to beat the Suns during the regular season he would’ve easily won MVP. Even tho King Jon is a top 3 Center in the league I just don’t know how he’ll be able to stop JA from scoring AND get the rebound over Steven Adams. This is exactly what happened in the Memphis vs Golden State matchup. Ja would miss a layup/dunk & Adams would Horse Draymond or Looney since they had to contest Ja. If Phoenix wins this series it’ll have to be off King Jons back.

I caught up with CLEVELAND CASH for ONE important question.

Do you think YoGuardBron is the ZEUS of 2k?

FXCK NO HAHHAHAHAHHAHAH HE CAN’T GUARD ME!!!!!!!! 3-0…

With the playins being today & tomorrow I caught up with the GM of the Lakers & the Owner of the Clippers for some questions.

F3AR

I’m sure you had high hopes coming into the season. Are you disappointed in your teams regular season success? Anything you wish u did differently?

I wouldn’t say I’m disappointed in the season considering it was looking pretty bad at the start and we had quite a bit of roster turnaround. And there’s definitely things I wish I did differently ( can’t speak for Shady ) but I think there’s still time for that to change. Hopefully it does in the playoffs.

As GM of the Lakers how confident are you going into your playin matchup vs the Clippers?

I’m pretty confident going into the series. I’d expect it to be a 2-0.

Who will be the key to the Lakers success?

It’s tough to pick 1 person, but I’d have to say our role players (Melo and Monk ) if they stay ready to shoot and hit their shots I don’t think there’s a team we can’t compete with.

So you said your team can compete with anyone. If you do beat the clippers & move on you will be facing the Suns. How do you see that series going? 3-0 Lakers?

The series vs the suns will be tough no doubt. But every time we play them we compete for 2-3 quarters and it’s a close game and then we break down for 1 quarter or have a bad stretch and they just keep scoring. So I think if we can stay composed and play full games of basketball it will be a good series.

Do you think YoGuardBron is the ZEUS of 2k?

R3dH0ur

As owner of the Clippers how confident are you going into your playin series vs the Lakers?

Very confident. I know farah’s line will perform great and even though a lot of changes with my line and a lot of things have back fired. I have a feeling we can get past the lakers.

Whats your prediction on your series? 2-0 clippers?

It’ll be close but I believe we can pull it off. 2-0 clippers.

I know you’re happy with the Kxng clan line but do you wish you drafted differently for your other line?

Tbh no, I’m the type that likes to give others chances. only downfall we didn’t practice enough and that was on me due to busy schedule.

If you do end up advancing past the Lakers what are your expectations for this team? A cinderella run to a championship perhaps?

That’s going to hard to do. If we get past the lakers we play the warriors next? that would be a fun game to be in us against bron and mizz. they play amazing but we have a chance. if we get past them and probably end up playing against the “let kill R3DH0ur” suns. I swear every time I play against king jon and userpick. it never ends well but it could change. it just depends on how my line performs. I Kxng line will do amazing like they have been. it’s my just line.

You would play the Suns next round.

4. Clippers vs 1. Suns
5. Grizzlies vs 3. Warriors

I really want to beat the suns. they are so good. but I want to have one more shot and try to win one against king john and userpick.

With the playins being today & tomorrow I caught up with the GM of the Heat & the Owner of the Celtics for some questions.

Gabe iLy

As GM of the Miami Heat. I know you had high hopes/expectations for your team. Are you disappointed that your team went 9-14 & ended up in the playins?

Not really cuz we had to weather an egregious amount of availability issues to even get to this point… I tried my best to acquire enough talent to make a consistent line 2 and when they were all able to actually play, they looked pretty good. Also the heat are terrible tbh and I doubt any1 would do much better with them.

How do you think your series will go vs the Celtics? 2-0 sweep?

Yes.. I actually thought they were going to ff tbh… But we will do what we must. I actually respect the hell out of Dj for stepping up as owner for that team and working extremely hard to get games in when other teams that are WAY better than the Celtics continued to just ff.. Celtics are the only team worse than the heat IMO.

Do you think YoGuardBron is the ZEUS of 2k?

He’s Def 1 of the best players in this league imo… He should win sg of the year with klay, which is impressive cuz i don’t really think klay is that good tbh. If he was on a better player I think he could do alot more honestly.

Political answer.

^truth

DJ

DJ some would say you did a great job as owner givin the circumstances you were put in. With that being said how confident are you heading into your playin series vs the Miami Heat?

Tbh if we show up to play and slow the ball down and put the ball in the right hands I can see is winning in 3

Who do you think will be the key to your team’s success vs the Heat?

Dudda or Kdot

We know you took over the Celtics late in the year but with that being said. What would be your dream lineup?
