NBA 2k mods are nothing new, and they’ve previously provided us all with some bizarre highlights — like the Space Jam mod that will definitely convince you that you’re tripping balls while watching it.
But maybe the most jarring mod is the one you see in the video above, which has put NBA coaches in the game as players on the Chicago Bulls, for whatever reason. In the short clip, we can see Gregg Popovich, Erik Spoelstra and Tom Thibodeau all suiting up for Da Bulls.
Ordinarily, that sight alone would be unsettling enough. It becomes exponentially weirder when we get to watch Pop rise up and throw down a poster slam over a defender, then shake his head in disgust. Okay, maybe that last part felt totally normal.
My only complaint is that we don’t get to see Digital Superstar Popovich give a postgame interview about his performance. But if you use your imagination hard enough, you can almost hear a reporter asking Pop about his highlight jam, followed by an indifferent Popovich simply saying, “It counted for two points.”
This same Instagram user hasn’t limited himself to Popovich modifications. He’s also created a Doris Burke mod that’s absolutely amazing.
Nothing is better than a dunking Doris.
