2K announced today the new KG Teammates MyTEAM Collection, available now in NBA
2K18. The packs were announced via “KG’s Back,” a new digital campaign featuring
15-time NBA All-Star Kevin Garnett (aka “KG”) and actor, podcast host, writer,
director, and avid NBA fan Michael Rapaport (White Famous, Atypical). The video
offers a peek into KG’s daily routine as he tries to live his new best life,
eventually showing the audience how he excitedly returns to the NBA action via NBA
2K18. “KG’s Back” is available now online and on NBA 2K social media platforms,
including Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/nba2k>,

and Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/nba2k/?hl=en>. “KG’s Back” is now live here:
”KG’s Back” features a restless Garnett engaging in hobbies such as catching up on
his reading, and honing his scrapbooking and needlepoint skills in an attempt to
pass the time as he reflects on his career. Meanwhile children’s choir “Nothing but
Treble,” joined by a robed Michael Rapaport, follows KG around the house, while
singing a new version of Pachelbel’s Canon, complete with NBA 2K-themed lyrics.
Realizing he can still enjoy the action and excitement of his NBA career by using KG
MyTEAM Packs to build his dream roster, Garnett then joins Rapaport for a trash-talk
laden NBA 2K18 gameplay session.
“We are thrilled to be working with Kevin Garnett, who has been a member of the NBA
2K family ever since he graced the cover of NBA 2K9 a decade ago,” said Alfie Brody,
VP of Marketing for NBA 2K. “The dynamic between KG and Michael Rapaport brings a
fun energy to ‘KG’s Back’ and it’s the perfect way to announce the KG MyTEAM Packs.”
KG Teammates MyTEAM Collection is available now in NBA 2K18 for PlayStation 4, Xbox
One, Nintendo Switch and PC. Each pack contains one player and four items, with a
chance of pulling a KG Teammates or Moments player. The MyTEAM challenge for the
next two weeks pits players against Team Rapaport, featuring a roster hand-picked by
Michael.
