2K has announced a unique partnership with Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant and Thirty Five Ventures, the company co-founded by Durant and entrepreneur Rich Kleiman. Durant will be the icon athlete for Season 3 of NBA® 2K Mobile*, the authentic, console-quality NBA experience on your iOS or Android device, which is available today as a free, downloadable update on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

As part of a long-term partnership, Durant and his Thirty Five Ventures team will collaborate with 2K on future game development, exclusive content, in-game merch and more. Durant’s sports business platform, The Boardroom, will also work with 2K on original content.
