For all the fans of the 2K line of basketball games, you will be happy to know that you can play 2K13 anywhere you have a device running Android 4.0 or higher. Yesterday 2K Games released NBA 2K13 on the traditional consoles, but they also released it in the Google Play Store. The game costs $8 and won’t give you the full experience you get on a traditional console, but will let you play full exhibition games as any of the 30 teams. You can also recreate legendary performances in NBA’s Greatest Games mode or play as your favorite team in  the Multiseason Mode. It uses the 2K basketball engine with controls optimized for mobile gaming. Normally I would not expect much from a game like this, Madden 12 anyone, but we will let you be the judge. Use the link or QR code after the break to check the game out in the Play Store.

T-Mobile has inked a multi-year deal with NBA team Miami Heat and is now their Official Wireless Telecommunications Provider. T-mobile has since been a major sponsor of TNT and the NBA. The sponsorship deal will include radio broadcasts, in-game features, retail promos and other social promo events.

During the game last night, you may have seen a commercial featuring the new T-Mobile myTouch 4G and NBA stars Dwayne Wade and Charles Barkely showing off the new device running Android. This opens the door for Android to be recognized as a familiar face in the mobile arena, on top of the popularity of the NBA and T-Mobile. Android may be riding on their coattails a bit here, but we know it’s well deserved.

Although you might have seen similar apps in some form or another, the NBA is finally ready to finalize its business model after a long time testing different strategies. Their apps offer live streaming of NBA games and events directly to supported devices. The group has been streaming to iPhones and Android devices since October. The process has involved development of Blackberry, iPhone, and Android apps in free forms, paid forms, and team branded assortments. Nothing was stated on what the final plans will be, but keep your eyes open for available apps on a device near you!
