Spike Lee to write story mode in new NBA 2K16

Reports say director Spike Lee has signed a deal with 2K where he’ll be writing the singleplayer campaign for NBA2K16. The game’s cover will even carry his trademark branding of a “Spike Lee joint”.

If this seems unusual, remember, NBA2K16’s career mode isn’t like your typical sports game. It’s as much an RPG as an exercise in basketball simulation, with a storyline, characters and narrative cutscenes.

“It’s about the trials and tribulations of life on a big stage with the money, fame, temptations, family members, the press, fans, all that stuff.” says Lee.
