NBA 2K — like the series as a whole, it strives to emulate basketball, specifically the National Basketball Association. It features current players and teams from the 1999–2000 NBA season, and players can use them in several modes. In addition, the player can create his own players and assemble his own teams. The game features commentary from fictional announcers Bob Steele and Rod West (a play on Bob Barker and Rod Roddy, who were then respectively the host and announcer of the American game show The Price is Right), portrayed by Bob Fitzgerald and Rod Brooks, respectively.
