NBA 2K21 is coming out later this week and before we let the Mamba Mentality consume us, we get a peek at the upcoming storyline for MyCAREER.

In the latest Courtside Report installment, 2K gives us more details about MyCAREER, one of the more popular modes year in year out for the series as well as 2K Beach, the latest location for the hottest games.

For 2K21, MyCAREER tells the story of Junior in “The Long Shadow” – the son of a beloved baller who faces the challenges of trying to make it to the NBA, balancing legacy while carving his own path through high school to college. 2K21 will feature 10 officially licensed college programs to choose from in the story: Michigan State, UConn, Florida, Gonzaga, Syracuse, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, UCLA, Villanova University and West Virginia.
