The requisite skills for success as a professional NBA 2K player in the NBA 2K league are unique. Defensive rotations, zone integrity and the adherence to man-to-man rules are just as important in NBA 2K as they are in real basketball. Players seem to be having difficulty understanding the difference between entertaining a YouTube or Twitch audience and auditioning for the NBA 2K League. The NBA 2K League is looking to erect stars, but it will be difficult to accomplish that if the persona or character isn't fit for public consumption. If you've announced yourself as a NBA 2K League hopeful and you're using the hashtag, take it seriously and put your best foot forward as a competitive gamer and as a mature professional.
