It's all in the details... and NBA 2K16 seems to have a firm grip on players' mannerisms and tendencies. Chris Bosh knows.
New footage from the highly anticipated game shows the Miami Heat power forward videobombing teammate Dwyane Wade while he's being interviewed. The sequence is about as true to life as it gets — Bosh has frequently videobombed Wade and LeBron James, especially during the Heat's back-to-back championship run from 2012-13.
The fact that 2K was able to pin it down so precisely will just add to anticipation of the game's release, slated for next Tuesday, September 29. This very well could be the most authentic hoops offering from 2K yet.

But Bosh is far from the only player that 2K got down pat, when duplicating his mannerisms and tendencies in their gameplay. The game also perfectly captures King James' traditional big shot celebration, in which he raises his knees and pushes his hands down.
It also includes NBA MVP Stephen Curry's knack for circus shots in the paint, a monster jam from Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard, Memphis Grizzlies power forward Zach Randolph working the post with his brand of bully basketball and Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Zach LaVine gliding through the air en route to a whirling dunk.
Even the staunchest critic would give it up to 2K and salute them on a job well done.
