Writer's Opinion
I’m minor basketball fan, but a huge rap fan (not particularly of Jay Z) so this title might be the first NBA 2K13 titles I purchase of course after a drop in price. However; it was pretty surreal pulling up to game stop while they were still close and seeing a few people wait aside for the doors to open, because I had never been there that only myself.
