Joel Embiid would like to offer you an NBA 2K cheat code. The Process himself has been playing NBA 2K18 and knows a thing or two about how to dominate the game: When you’re playing it, make sure your team has Joel Embiid.
The Philadelphia 76ers big was interviewed by GQ about many things, including the Rihanna advice he’d give to himself.
But when it comes to NBA 2K18, Embiid said the process is clear: Trade for him, then watch out.
“When I play 2K, I’ll play in GM mode. And I choose different teams. But I always trade for myself because I’m unstoppable,” Embiid said. “Literally there’s no way to stop me in 2K. I average like 40 and 15, and like 8 assists, and be MVP of the year.”
Embiid himself knows that his video game counterpart is a lot more durable, and able to play a lot longer than Embiid himself can right now.
“Even LeBron James is not as valuable as me in 2K,” he said.
Embiid said he always picks a bad team, puts himself on it, and then dominates.
“I gotta start with a team that sucks, like the Lakers or the Nets. I gotta make it fair. I’m the master of trading, so even with the Nets, they don’t have like high-rated players in the game, but I get someone like me and the number one pick for the next draft.”
It’s actually not a bad idea, and he certainly had a lot of downtime over the last few seasons to hone his 2K strategy. I’m sure he’s not alone in trusting the digital process.
