MyTEAM

Some of the greatest basketball players of all time have suited up for Team USA, proudly wearing the red, white, and blue on the world’s biggest international stages. During Season 8, we’re honoring many of the current and historic players by introducing Invincible Team USA MyTEAM cards for you to add to your lineup. Invincible Team USA MyTEAM cards will be available via mode rewards, packs and earnable through agendas all Season long. Be on the lookout for special agendas and Team USA themed rewards, in addition to other Season 8 rewards.

Every team needs an enforcer—someone who can do the dirty work on defense, even if it doesn’t always show up on the stat sheet. For Season 8 of NBA 2K24, we’re introducing a handful of MyTEAM cards that can give you a defensive edge, with some elite scorers mixed in as well.

Lock down opponents and reel in rebounds with the Level 1 100 OVR Dennis Rodman card. The seven-time NBA regular-season leader in rebounds and two-time Defensive Player of the Year excelled at dominating the glass and forcing turnovers throughout his career. Known for his championship pedigree, relentless tenacity, and signature style, this Hall of Famer can impact your lineup in more ways than one.

In 2021-2022, Marcus Smart became the first guard to win the Defensive Player of the Year award since Gary Payton, aka ‘The Glove’, won the award back in 1995-1996. Smart’s on-ball defense, coupled with his size and quickness, can make life miserable for any opposing guard. Add the Level 10 Dark Matter Marcus Smart card to your lineup and start wreaking havoc.

To complement your abundance of defense, balance out your lineup with the Level 20 Dark Matter Rashard Lewis card. The 15-year veteran was one of the first stretch forwards to thrive in the NBA, with his distinct 6’10” frame and silky smooth jumpshot. With the ability to play small forward and power forward, Lewis was a nightmare matchup thanks to his ability to stretch the floor.

Season 8 features yet another Defensive Player of the Year—sensing a theme yet? Anchor your squad with the Level 25 Dark Matter Jaren Jackson Jr. card to provide a shot-blocking presence down low. In 2023, Jackson became the second-youngest player in NBA history to win the award after averaging a league-leading 3 blocks per game.

With the Level 1 100 OVR Dennis Rodman reward, Level 35 100 OVR Jerry Stackhouse, and the Level 37 100 OVR Wheel Spin you can climb the Season rewards ladder to add three 100 Overall Player Cards to your squad during Season 8.

Finally, unleash a defensive and offensive powerhouse with the final reward of the Seasonal ladder: the Level 40 G.O.A.T. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar card. The 19-time All-Star, six-time MVP, six-time NBA champion, and 11-time All-Defense center was unstoppable at both ends of the floor during his heyday, and now you can terrorize opposing teams with his patented sky hook and smothering defense. Realize your MyTEAM dreams with Kareem in single-player and multiplayer formats.
