New NBA 2K19 MyTeam Throwback Playoffs Moments, Unlimited Reward Cards Available in May
The 2019 NBA Playoffs will continue through the month of May and so will the NBA 2K19 MyTeam Playoffs Moments cards. As of May 1, they released several new Throwback Playoffs Moments player cards. In addition, gamers now have an enticing new NBA 2K19 Unlimited Reward to go after this month. It involves achieving a perfect record, but the rewards available seem worth the effort.
New Throwback Playoffs Moments cards include Hardaway, Lewis
On Wednesday, NBA 2K19 MyTeam tweeted out a photo of three brand new Throwback Playoffs Moments cards. They include a 97-rated Penny Hardaway Pink Diamond in the mix. A 97 makes sense as the 1997 NBA Playoffs were a standout postseason for Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway. In his team’s series against the Heat, Penny had back-to-back games with 40 points or more. Both were victories for Orlando, but unfortunately, they lost that series 3-2.
Joining Hardaway in the latest release are a Diamond Reggie Lewis (Boston Celtics) and an Amethyst Serge Ibaka (OKC Thunder). In the 1991-92 postseason, the late Celtics star achieved a 42-point game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Lewis also had six assists and five steals in that loss.
As far as Mr. Ibaka, while he was with the Thunder in 2011 he had a number of double-double performances. One of those was his 22 points, 16 rebounds, and four blocks game on April 23. Ibaka also recorded nine blocks in an OKC win versus Denver on April 27, 2011.
Gamers can try to acquire these new Throwback Playoffs Moments cards via the MyTeam Market in NBA 2K19. In addition, the Auction House will have all three of the player cards mentioned above, for a price.
NBA 2K19 Unlimited Rewards deal for May
NBA 2K19 also unveiled a new Unlimited Rewards deal for the month of May. It involves achieving a perfect record of 12-0 in the game. Achieving that mark in MyTeam over the month will achieve Pink Diamond cards. Gamers will get a PD David Thompson and PD Manu Ginobili.
While the recently retired Manu Ginobili is a nice addition, that David Thompson is a stellar asset for a MyTeam roster. His ability to knock down threes can come in quite handy. These rewards can be used to help achieve a Galaxy Opal Isiah Thomas card. As mentioned before, not all gamers want to run with a point guard of Isiah’s size on their squad, though. However, many gamers want to load up their roster with those Galaxy Opals.
