NBA 2K20 Finals Spotlight Sim: How to Earn G.O.A.T. Larry Bird Galaxy Opal
On Tuesday, June 9, NBA 2K20 received a content update with plenty of new Galaxy Opals to be found in packs or through new Spotlight challenges. We showed off the brand new Kawhi Leonard Galaxy Opal card available in Prime Series III yesterday. However, there are also new NBA 2K20 Finals Spotlight Sim Challenges available, with six Galaxy Opal cards including a G.O.A.T. card for the legend, Larry Bird.
New NBA 2K20 Finals Spotlight Sim Challenges arrive
In MyTeam mode, the Solo Challenges now include a new series of NBA 2K20 Finals Spotlight Sim challenges. There are five of them altogether, each representing a different decade and featuring 10 individual challenges inside. The first represents the 1970s, followed by the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s. These are right after the Historic Spotlight challenges.
There’s also a new Galaxy Opal card as the reward for each of these series as shown below.
- 1970s Finals Spotlight Sim: Dennis Johnson (Sonics)
- 1980s Finals Spotlight Sim: Kevin McHale (Celtics)
- 1990s Finals Spotlight Sim: Kevin Rodman (Bulls)
- 2000s Finals Spotlight Sim: Paul Pierce (Celtics)
- 2010s Finals Spotlight Sim: Marc Gasol (Raptors)
Inside each of the different decades, you’ll find 10 different challenges corresponding to some of the iconic moments in NBA Finals history. There are also moments where you need to reverse history. Examples include knocking off the Detroit Pistons in the Finals with the Portland Trail Blazers, or halting the Lakers’ championship run with the Celtics.
The individual challenges are all on the Superstar level. As you defeat each individual challenge inside the five Decades, you’ll earn other rewards including MT, Tokens, and Pink Diamonds as shown below.
- 2,250
- 1,500 MT
- 10 Tokens
- 2,000 MT
- Pink Diamond card (Willis Reed, Michael Cooper, Horace Grant, Bruce Bowen, Shane Battier)
- 2,500 MT
- 2,750 MT
- 15 Tokens
- 3,000 MT

Just grinding through these is well worth each of the GO cards, PDs, tokens, and MT.
