NBA 2K is a basketball game series initially started as an exclusive title for the Sega Dreamcast. NBA 2K was Sega's first foray into the basketball game market since the Genesis' heyday; it was also the first title to legitimately challenge EA Sports' NBA Live series for console hoops supremacy. The graphics, animation, sound, and 3D arena-environment in 2K are generally considered far beyond anything gamers had ever seen in a basketball sim at the current time.
The 2K series, developed by Visual Concepts began under the banner of "Sega Sports" until it was later sold along with Visual Concepts to Take-Two Interactive. The series is currently published by 2K Games, a publishing label started by Take-Two in 2005.
The success of NBA 2K led to a long standing series that eventually gained the rights and license to the ESPN brand name. ESPN was used for 2 games before signing a 15-year deal with EA Sports.
