NBA 2K19 MyTEAM Cards Revealed With Greek Freak, Paul George Diamond Card
On Thursday, NBA 2K19 teased a MyTEAM promotion with simply a 15-second video involving NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo. On Friday, gamers learned that it’s part of a new batch of 20th Anniversary Packs in the game. These packs will feature a number of players from past and present making their way into the game. In addition, a certain someone who went on a scoring spree the other night received his recognition in the game.
NBA 2K19 MyTEAM cards include Giannis, Hardaway
The new video dropped on Friday (Dec. 7) via NBA 2K’s Twitter account. This time it’s a longer video featuring the NBA 2K19 cover athlete “Greek Freak.” There’s also commentary from Marv Albert and others as Giannis’ various 2K19 highlights are on display. That includes some vicious dunks against a number of opponents and outside shot after outside shot swishing through the net. As a result of this promotion (and his greatness on the court), he’s part of the new 20th Anniversary Pack in the game. It’s quite a card too, as he’s got a 97 in there.

Joining Antetokounmpo are several other notable players. The Memphis Grizzlies’ Marc Gasol is also represented with a 95 Diamond card in the game. Former NBA stars Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway and Hedo Turkoglu also receive special cards. Turkoglu is shown off in the video with a 92 Amethyst Card, while Penny Hardaway has a Ruby Card.
Paul George Diamond Moments Card also available
Just a few nights ago, NBA fans witnessed or probably heard about Paul George going off against the Brooklyn Nets. Despite a slow start in the game, PG13 went on to scorch Brooklyn for a game-high 47 points. Not only that, George hit a game-winning three-pointer to cap off an amazing night. As one might expect, a performance of that nature results in a special Diamond Moments card in NBA 2K19. Behold the Paul George Diamond Moments Card!
