NBA 2K9 Party In NYC
KG playing 2K9As we told you the other day in Smack, a couple of the Dime crew hit up the NBA 2K9 pre-season party in the Big Apple to celebrate the launch. Cover guy Kevin Garnett was on hand for the invite-only, VIP launch party at The Space in SoHo, along with Andre Iguodala, Brook Lopez, Danilo Gallinari and Rajon Rondo.
The party was nice, and featured a live performance by 2K9 Soundtrack headliners The Cool Kids. Also, not only was our man Bobbito Garcia on the tables, but it was also his birthday. As the night went on, more and more people started showing up – most notably, Stuart Scott, Quentin Richardson, Nate Robinson and the fastest man on the planet Usain Bolt.

So Dime I can’t decide which game to buy? NBA Live or 2K? Any early previews or thoughts on the game?

@ Big Shot –
Our new issue (should be on newsstands any second) breaks down NBA 2K9 and NBA Live. Honestly, both games are sick.

Rondo and Bolt look like they are from another planet. Athletically they do their thing like it too though…
“We are not the same…”
2K9 or Live 2009?
XBox or PS3?
Decisions Decisions…

Gallinari was rollin’ out as I entered the party. It was good to meet you Aron. I was with the fellas from the Entertainer’s Basketball Classic.
