NBA 2K21 MyTeam Adds James Harden Nets Big 3 Challenge and Heat Check Moments Packs

On Thursday, NBA 2K21 MyTeam unveiled a brand new James Harden Nets Big 3 Challenge along with Heat Check Moments Packs. The Harden Challenge lets gamers test their luck against Brooklyn’s new trio of players to potentially win some extra rewards. With the new Heat Check packs, it’s possible to acquire some limited-time player cards including Dallas Mavs phenom, Luka Doncic.

James Harden Nets Big 3 Challenge arrives following trade

There have been plenty of great Big Three star combos over the years. There’s the Celtics’ Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen. Or there’s the Heat’s LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh. Some would even argue the Bulls may have started it with Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman.

The Brooklyn Nets now have their Big Three in place as they added James Harden to the roster via a blockbuster NBA trade. It was a four-team deal involving Harden’s former Houston Rockets along with the Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers. Harden is now teamed up with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving under first-year head coach Steve Nash.

For the NBA 2K21 MyTeam challenge, gamers are trying to take down the Nets’ new Big Three. The objective is to be first to 21 points using any three MyTeam players against the trio of Harden, KD, and Kyrie. Doing so will bring a reward of three MyTeam Tokens, good for spending at the store to acquire special player cards.
