Moore went on to say, “It’s great to see 2K recognizing our nation’s growing impact on the sport with the inclusion of Team Australia in National Basketball Association 2K17”.

The Team USA Men’s Basketball team has been shaping up nicely in their early exhibitions and are the overwhelming favorites to win yet another Olympic Gold Medal in Rio.
Now the internationalisation of the sport has benefited the NBA and the worldwide game, according to Paulo Vilas Boas, the competition manager for basketball at Carioca Arena 1 at Rio 2016.
Mike Krzyzewski, head coach of the team, will appear on the sidelines.
For years, we’ve debated whether or not the 1992 Dream Team could be toppled by any current great team in the game of basketball.
“Basketball has become an iconic part of American sports heritage, and I’m thrilled that fans can play with this year’s roster in ‘NBA 2K, ‘” said Duke University and U.S. team coach Mike Krzyzewski, or Coach K, who is also arriving to the title with the team (via CBS Sports). All you have to do is pre-order National Basketball Association 2K17 to get access to the Dream Team. Going against a direct rival will provide Coach K with a chance to experiment with his rotations and hopefully find units that thrive without the top players, allowing them to rest.
However, I think we all know the real reason the 69-year-old coach is so amped about this feature, and that is recruiting. A pre-order also unlocks a special USA Basketball MyPlayer jersey for customising their player. His likeness will also be found in a revamped tutorial mode focusing on teaching fundamental basketball strategies including pick and roll execution, proper defensive positioning, ball movement, boxing out, court awareness and more.
Sonics Rising reported that there are ten pre-made expansion teams incorporated into the upcoming “NBA 2K17” game.
National Basketball Association 2K17 will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC from September 16th.

But compared to all the releases, Sports Illustrated deems Coach K as the biggest addition to the game. The Kobe Bryant Legend Edition will cost $79.99, and the Kobe Bryant Legend Edition Gold checks in at $99.99.
