Namely in the trailer's title: "Take the Crown". Also in highlighting just how good he is. But beyond that, and a backing track by Jay Rock, it also highlights just how good this latest edition of the game is looking. Like, seriously, the animations, individual player characteristics and even the NBA presentation are very, very good.

But it is still really weird seeing him in Lakers colours (I'd have preferred he go back to Miami or at least go to Philly to be alongside Simmons). Releasing on September 25 on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, we present to you the first 'gameplay' trailer for NBA 2K19 (in that it is in-game, but is stylised and not *really* rolling gameplay). But it does still look pretty amazing visually.
