I don't think you can :S

So what are winners of the cup considered to be? Is it considered a championship? If not then what’s the point? Winners of a tournament yet not champions is kinda odd. I wonder if it’ll minimize winning a finals going forward or be considered unimportant because it’s not the finals.

I think they had something like this before in MyWNBA because they had the commissioners cup last year.

You have to think of it in terms of European Soccer. It's a side competition. In soccer clubs compete in their designated league but they also compete in the League Cup, the FA Cup, some in the UEFFA Champions League. There's pride in winning multiple trophies in the same season. The only difference here is that in soccer Cup matches are totally separate from League Matches.

They’re champions of the in season tournament.

It just adds a new element to what are otherwise meaningless early regular season games. I was playing against the Nets in MyNBA and the commentary talked about how the loser of the game would be out of the tournament. I dialed in a bit to win that game. I kind of like. I wouldn't usually care about a game in November.

Salute to the 2k Team for adding during the same season. Other studios would punt something like this to the next iteration.

Makes sense. It’ll be interesting to see how it affects the endless player comparison debates in the future. Like if X player wins 8 cup trophies but 0 rings and player B wins 2 rings but zero cups, who will be “considered higher all time.”
