In celebration of the return of the NBA and Kevin Durant to the court, NBA 2K21 MyTeam Season 4 has launched. Season 4 is officially called “The Return” based on those two themes. Gamers will receive a free KD card to begin the new season with. It’ll also feature new player cards including Flash 5 series in packs and new challenges, such as the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Signature Challenge.
NBA 2K21 MyTeam Season 4 trailer drops, new Pink Diamond and GO Rewards
On Friday, January 8, the NBA 2K social media released the new trailer for MyTeam Season 4. It features a quick video clip with highlights of Kevin Durant on both the Brooklyn Nets and OKC Thunder. Also featured are other stars such as Kemba Walker, Russell Westbrook, Paul George, and Zion Williamson.
One thing revealed for the NBA 2K21 MyTeam Season 4 is that there will be a fourth tier for Domination with Heat Check. Basically, Heat Check cards are ones that can get stats boosts should a player have impressive real-life NBA performances.

There’s also a six ring reward for Limited with a GO Russell Westbrook, and an Unlimited reward of GO Kevin McHale. For Ascension reward, it’s GO Bill Walton, and completion of Season 4’s Throwback Moments Collections gets GO Klay Thompson. The Season 4 Level 40 Reward is a GO Kawhi Leonard.
