The return of Isaiah Thomas doesn’t have a set date, but despite this, it’s been among the most highly-anticipated games of the 2017-18 NBA season ever since it was announced that he was going to miss some time. Thomas is a superstar on a new team, one which happens to have championship aspirations and the best basketball player in the world.

Like everyone, the aforementioned best player in the world is curious to see how Thomas will fit in Cleveland. So LeBron James did what every basketball fan does when they are interested in learning about a player’s fit on a certain team: He fired up a video game console and started playing NBA 2K.

LeBron met with the media on Wednesday and discussed how the “most realistic” basketball game ever created has helped him get a read on the healthy Cavaliers.

“I play a lot of 2K,” LeBron said. “Seriously, I’ve said this before. I play a lot of NBA 2K and it’s the most realistic game, basketball game that you can ever play. I mix and match a lot of lineup changes, things of that nature, to see how we can be really good. It’s pretty good.”

Unfortunately, he didn’t give any indication into how good the Cavs will be with Thomas on board, but he surely seems optimistic about what the game has to say regarding the team once it reaches its final form.
