NBA 2K19 MyTeam Brings Kobe Bryant Packs, Diamond Player Cards, Unlimited Tournament Video Stream
With the NBA All-Star Game 2019 going on this week, there’s plenty going on as far as NBA 2K19 MyTeam. The latest drop involves one of the greatest All-Star players of all-time, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. MyTeam not only offers special Kobe items but other players as well. In addition, the NBA 2K19 MyTeam Unlimited Tournament is ready to tip off from Charlotte, North Carolina.
NBA 2K19 MyTeam Presents Kobe Bryant Day
Thursday, February 14 isn’t only Valentine’s Day, but in NBA 2K19 MyTeam it’s also “Kobe Day.” Kobe Bryant has ties to not only the All-Star Game, but also to the Charlotte Hornets. They originally drafted him as the No. 13 pick back in 1996 before trading him to the Lakers for Vlade Divac.
In hindsight, it was one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history as Bryant achieved 18 All-Star Game appearances and five NBA Championships during his career. In honor of Kobe’s greatness, NBA 2K19 MyTeam is dropping special Kobe packs in the game. There’s also a new 97-rated Kobe Pink Diamond card for MyTeam.

💎 Dame Lillard
💎 Kevin Love
