One of the weirdest (and worst!) things about the NBA 2K series is how the whole experience is built around the idea of a “neighbourhood” of stores, most of them heavily branded in-game advertisements. It’s not how the real world looks or works! But then, the NBA in 2020 isn’t living in the real world.

Because most of the league is currently holed up in Disney World, trying to get the 2019-20 season finished, the NBA has been trying to make this bizarre bubble life as comfortable as possible for its superstars. Meaning we’re starting to see stuff like this:
