We’ve delved into the legend of Hoodie Melo before, and while he might be the most dangerous man on any basketball court, 2K Studios seems to think there may be someone just as threatening: Smiling Kawhi Leonard. A smiling Kawhi Leonard brings confusion to not only his opponents but his teammates as one has a better chance to see an eclipse in full totality than they do seeing Kawhi actually smiling in public.
That is, unless he’s in China or hanging out with 2 Chainz. On the court, the stoic Leonard is one of the NBA’s top stars and his 95 overall rating in NBA 2K18 is nothing to scoff at, but like Hoodie Melo, the good folks at 2K couldn’t help but wonder if Kawhi’s smiling alter ego might be even better.

Which brings us to 2K Studios choosing to put a vaunted 98 rating on Smiling Kawhi Leonard, besting Hoodie Melo as the best listed player in ‘NBA 2K18’ at the moment. It’s unknown whether Smiling Kawhi will be an actual unlockable character in this year’s edition of ‘NBA 2K18’. But how he’s unlocked has yet to be discovered yet, maybe it takes playing 2Chainz in the background while playing Blacktop Mode, as it’s been revealed that Leonard has been known to occasionally break out a smile when Pretty Girls Like Trap Music is on.
So it’s now up to gamers, should Smiling Kawhi show up, will gamers take him and shock their opponents, or will they go with the Dark Jedi of the NBA and go with the no-frills steal your soul and dunk-on-you version. Regardless, between Hoodie Melo and Smiling Kawhi, 2K Studios, like Wu-Tang Financial, is diversifying their bonds and giving you options.
