Kyrie only plays as Celtics in NBA 2K
You won't catch Kyrie Irving playing as any team other than his own in NBA 2K.
The NBA 2K18 cover star was a guest on the latest episode of "The Bill Simmons Podcast," during which he revealed he uses the Boston Celtics exclusively when playing the video game and discussed his strategy.
"I don't pick anybody else. Nobody else," Irving said. "Starting five is me, JB (Jaylen Brown), Gordon (Hayward), JT (Jayson Tatum), Al (Horford). Second five: Marcus (Smart), Terry (Rozier), I'll leave JB or JT in there, I'll leave Gordon in there, and then I'll throw (Aron) Baynes."

Irving does have a couple of issues with the game, though.
"My hair, man. They gave me like I was losing my hair. I'm just like, 'Bro, I'm not losing my hair,'" he said. "And then also, they completely disrespected me in terms of giving me a 90."
Irving added he's now "humbly at 93," which he's OK with.
