NBA 2K17 to include Team USA, Coach K, Dream Team
Team USA is heading to Rio ... and to a gaming console near you.
NBA 2K announced Wednesday that its newest installment, NBA 2K17, will feature the current Team USA along with head coach Mike Krzyzewski, as well as the 1992 Dream Team.

While USA Basketball and the video game franchise previously partnered for the 2012 Olympics, the upcoming edition promises to be more visually appealing.
"In 2K13, we had a pretty basic integration. With the partnership with USAB, we've done a lot more," vice president of marketing Alfie Brody told Kenny Ducey of SI. "It's the quality of the experience. The graphics have improved dramatically in the next-gen consoles."
Though Coach K wasn't in the last version, he's set to feature prominently in 2K17.
The game will hit the shelves Sept. 20, and can also be pre-ordered to own four days earlier.
