“I used to play it a lot. I’m going to be honest with you, I don’t play much right now. But whenever we do charity events for kids, it’s always an NBA 2K game station, and I play with the kids.
Like I said, the last time I played in the last UFC event, Usman vs.
Edwards. So we had that. But I love the technology in NBA 2K23.”

“I’ve actually been a part of the game, Ernie, Kenny and myself. We spend countless hours, weeks, months at a time leaving those things behind. And it’s quite interesting how they have a setting for what we’re about to say.
So they just walk in and say, okay, I read these lines, but how do you get these lines? Because algorithmically, they already know what’s going to happen. So when you play as Steph Curry and hit a 3, my God, it’s Stephalicious.
I’ll say something, and Kenny will say something, it’s amazing how they do it.”
