Bad Bunny is taking the virtual hardwood in NBA 2K24. Players can add the artist to their lineup in the MyTEAM Crossover Series for Season 5. There is also a Bad Bunny Spotlight challenge that players can compete in. This update is happening on Friday, February 23.
There will also be two Bad Bunny jersey cards and a Bad Bunny basketball court available to add to their MyTEAM collection. In the MyCAREER platform, gamers can also rep jerseys from Bad Bunny’s Puerto Rican basketball team, Los Cangrejeros de Santurce. In 2021, the professional basketball team based in Santurce, the largest barrio in San Juan, Puerto Rico, named Benito as its new co-owner.
“The main purpose and commitment of this initiative is to help foster positive change on the island,” the team’s statement read.
For those non-gamers who love Bad Bunny, have no fear. You don’t have to actually pick up a game controller to enjoy Benito on NBA 2K24. Eighteen songs from his most recent album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, will be added to the game’s soundtrack. So, if you’d rather watch your kids or significant other play the game, you can still enjoy “Monaco.”
Besides owning Los Cangrejeros de Santurce, Bad Bunny is a baller too. He’s participated in the NBA All-Star Celebrity game on a couple of occasions.
Some fans are hoping his NBA 2K24 introduction will be similar to the times he’s wrestled with the WWE.
Fans had some ideas for what songs he could use.
Here’s to hoping for many slam dunks and deep threes from Benito. Maybe we’ll see a virtual Kendall Jenner sitting courtside.
