2K Sports released their trailer for the highly anticipated NBA2K14 game this morning, which drops in just a little over a month on October 1st. As you can see, the trailer is nothing earth shattering, but it was great to see our own Damian Lillard featured in the preview along with the likes of LeBron James, James Harden, Steph Curry and Derrick Rose. And while he's highlighted for less than a second, it's another reminder that our own floor general is starting to become recognized as one of the NBA's elite. Portland, Oregon is a small NBA market and the more notoriety we can get the better.

But more importantly, will he receives a ratings boost? Lillard was rated a mediocre 70 in last year's installment. And one would think the fourth unanimous Rookie of the Year in NBA History would have to see a nice improvement, right? For what it's worth, DIME predicts Video Game Dame will be rated an 86 overall; a 16-point increase. Lastly, great song choice. Listening to Nas' "Hate me now" took me back to those 8th grade days.

I saw the Blazers make several appearances in that. Most of them were us getting dunked or scored on though. They say it's the closest thing to real, so........

Someone answer me this. As a marketing genius, I have wondered aloud for awhile why 2k sports doesn't offer something where you can submit a pic of yourself and for a small fee be inserted into the crowd. I think a zillion young adults would pay some cash to have their face show up on every 2k game sold. Like season tickets, they could sell the shots used most often for more, and you could pay more to be in every arena, or less to be in a certain arena

Wow. It goes to show how crappy music has become in the last 10 years or so.

I like that they say "Yay, Damian Lillard is in the promo" when they show more of the guy from detroit that's not named Greg Monroe.

Epic Fail. More blind pushing. At least be realistic, a guy from detroit got more airtime than Lillard. Move on.
