2K have announced that when local players jump into NBA 2K23 tomorrow, they will be able to don the jersey of the local team the Boomers, which is our national mens team.

“Customising a MyPLAYER in the latest iteration of the game is one of the first things our players do when they start playing. We have many popular brands in our game but having the ability to represent your country’s team instils a sense of pride in gamers. We’ve been working closely with Basketball Australia to make this a reality for NBA 2K23 and can’t wait to see the Boomers uniform throughout the City or The G.O.A.T Boat,” said Alfie Brody, Vice President of Global Marketing at NBA 2K.

This is the second time the jersey has been included in the game, the first time being way back in NBA 2K17.

“We are proud to be partnering up with NBA 2K to deliver the iconic Boomers kit to audiences all over the world. The addition of the green and gold uniform will be huge for basketball fans to represent their country in NBA 2K23,” said Matt Scriven, CEO of Basketball Australia.

“Representing Australia and wearing a Boomers jersey has always been a goal of mine. Being able to play NBA 2K23 wearing the Boomers kit, the iconic green and gold, is an amazing addition to the game this year. I cannot wait to walk around the City and bump into fellow Aussies proudly wearing their Boomers jersey,” said Josh Giddey, Australian NBA player for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

There is no reason provided as to why there is no womens national team jersey, but perhaps next year.
