NBA 2K14 London Launch Party Recap

By Sam Neter on October 11, 2013

The Regal in London played host to one of the capital’s largest celebrations of Basketball culture last week when fans, media, celebrities and gamers converged to mark the release of NBA 2K14.

With a celebrity-team basketball tournament featuring SBTV, Wretch 32’s Renowned Records, Capital Xtra, Black Butter Records, GRM Daily and Roll Deep battling it out on the court to be named NBA 2K14 Playoff Champions, gamers were invited to test themselves on the latest release from 2KSports on Xbox360 and PlayStation 3 consoles.

The gaming prize, a next generation console and a copy of NBA 2K14, proved a mighty incentive, with contests continuing well into the night and on the court was no different, with DJ Target handling the soundtrack, it was GRM Daily who came out victorious, defeating a crestfallen Roll Deep in the final.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
