HHW Gaming: Relive Kobe Bryant’s On-Court Heroics In ‘NBA 2K24’s Mamba Moments Mode

NBA 2K23 allowed players to relieve Michael Jordan’s greatest moments thanks to the Jordan Challenge, and now it’s time to embrace your inner Mamba Mentality with NBA 2K24’s Mamba Moments game mode.

Fittingly, on Thursday, 8/24, the official day we celebrate the life of the late and always great Kobe Bryant, 2K Sports dropped its latest Courtside Report focusing on NBA 2K24’s Mamba Moments game mode.

Players can relieve some of Bryant’s iconic moments during his playing days with the Los Angeles Lakers, harnessing his skills and the killer instinct he was beloved for.

“The NBA 2K24 MAMBA MOMENTS were selected to celebrate Kobe and remember how he was the most unique competitor the world had ever seen,” said Erick Boenisch, VP of NBA Development at Visual Concepts. “Our team took great care in building a realistic and authentic experience to inspire and educate a new generation of basketball fans on the legacy of the lifetime Laker that left his mark on the sport.”

A breakdown of Kobe Bryant’s Mamba Moments In NBA 2K24:

• The NBA Three-Point Record. In 2003, Kobe’s record-breaking three-point shooting performance against the Seattle Supersonics, converting 12 of his 18 attempts from behind the arc.x
• The King of Sac. Up 3-0 against the Sacramento Kings, Kobe slammed the door shut on the division rival’s postseason hopes with a remarkable 48 points and 16 rebounds. At just 22 years old, the then-three-time All-Star proved that the stage wasn’t too big for him.
• 62 Points, Three Quarters. Kobe exploded for 62 points in three quarters vs. Dallas in 2005, outscoring the entire Mavs team by himself and leading the Lakers to a blowout win in the process.
• Three-Point Barrage Leads to 65-Point Game. The Black Mamba’s 65-point effort on the road in Portland propelled the Purple and Gold to an overtime victory in March of 2007.
• 2010 NBA Finals Game 7. Looking to win back-to-back titles for the first time since the early 2000s, Kobe did a little bit of everything during his clutch close-out performance against Boston.

NBA 2K24 arrives on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on September 8.
