The Diversion: Kevin Durant plays as LeBron James in NBA 2K

26 Sep 2014

Kevin Durant took home the title of Most Valuable Player in the NBA this year, but even that doesn’t stop him from playing as LeBron James in NBA 2K.

He confirmed as much on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, after admitting it would be arrogant to play as himself.

“Who do you play as?” Fallon asked of Durant.

“Uh… anybody,” he replied.

“Just tell me,” Fallon persisted. “Who do you play as?”

Durant threw up his hands. “All right, LeBron.”

LeBron and Durant are only four players with an in-game ranking of over 90. James has a level of 99 and Durant has 95.

NBA 2K15 heads to PS3, PS4, Windows PC, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on 7 October.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
