02:28 AM - September 17, 2008 by blingballa333

Head on over to ESPN Videogames to get the details.

Quote:


	""It's a reverse fantasy league," Garnett explains. Seems KG, Derrick Rose, Monta Ellis and a few other NBA stars are going to draft online gamers to see whose team can accumulate the best 2K9 stats and the commercial Garnett is shooting shows some of his real-life best friends from what he calls his Official Block Family begging to be on his squad."

On the spot airs every Thursday.

could this be it? http://www.gamespot.com/pages/featur...hers/index.php

If it's going to be in a podcast-type broadcast, it will be on "From the Bleachers," the site you linked Daouds.

From the Bleachers deals with sports gaming, so NBA 2K9 has a shot of being announced there.

It will probably just be a featured article on their website. On The Spot does air on Thursdays you are correct, but that will be when 2k9 will be demoed. Hopefully, we are able to get some gameplay media for this game along with the big announcement today (hey, maybe the big announcement is that we'll FINALLY get some gameplay videos, haha).

So this is what mod Blue-lightning said on the 2k boards when he ended and closed the thread about what was mewntioned in the article about the secret feature by KG:

	C'mon people, what did we say? The big announcement is on Gamespot. Seriously? Is it that hard to remember? BL

So, like I mentioned before, that was probably just one of a few announcements that are going to be released. No way could that have been the HUGE announcement that we've been waiting on.

We all still have something to look forward to.

Edit:

This was also mentioned by Admin Ron:

	The KG news bit on ESPN is not the announcement, even though it's pretty cool in itself. More to come on that soon.

# 51 blingballa333 @ 09/17/08 01:10 PM

Nice. And im sorry i guess for making it sound that this online reverse fantasy league was the big announcement, i was just speculating like the rest of us that it might, just seeing how secretive the whole ad was. Im glad im wrong, and i'll be waiting to hear the REAL big news on Gamespot today.
