Tip-off for the 2013-14 NBA season is away and 2K is so excited for this season that we’ve run a simulation of the entire season through NBA 2K14’s next-gen engine to see how things would shake out. Highlights are below, along with full results and brand new screenshots.

Not 1, Not 2, But 3!
- Coming off back-to-back NBA championships, NBA 2K14 cover athlete LeBron James and the Miami Heat meshed better than ever before to finish with a league best 66-16 record en route to their third consecutive championship.

The Nets Starting 5
- First year head coach Jason Kidd and the Brooklyn Nets proved that veterans can still dominate the NBA landscape. With the additions of former Celtics (and former NBA champions) Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to their already star-studded squad, Brooklyn went 62-20 claiming the 2^nd seed in the Eastern Conference

Howard gets Harden
- After a disappointing season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Dwight Howard signed with the Houston Rockets to join rising All-Star James Harden to lead the team to the 5^th seed and proving they came ready to take on the playoffs with full force

Rise of the Rose
- Team leader D-Rose of the Chicago Bulls returned from his injury back to his dominant state to average 26.4 ppg and help the Bulls finish 59-23 to clinch the 3^rd seed in the East

Return of the Mamba
- With Kobe Bryant sidelined following last year’s season-ending Achilles injury, the LA Lakers struggled early but received an emotional boost when Kobe made his first appearance on the court during their annual Christmas Day game, boosting them to .500 and making their way into the playoffs once again
