2K Games NBA 2K franchise has long been considered the ultimate basketball video game. The popular series has always stood out to fans for its accuracy and realism. Once particular trait the studio has managed to capture is player individuality. It's these small details that have earned the NBA 2K series not only adoration from fans, but glowing reviews as well.

For instance, take this moment, courtesy of backbreaker65, who caught a virtual Kobe Bryant intercepting a high five between Golden State Warrior teammates Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green during a free throw. Though it may seem like an unusual and small detail, it really adds depth to the level of realism 2K is pursuing.

Even odd moments like photobombs pop up in game, mirroring real-life behavior from actual NBA stars. In the case of the 'Black Mamba', while you don't see Bryant steal high fives, it does add a bit of personality to Bryant's virtual self. Given his well-documented competitive streak, a small detail like this only adds to the realism the game strives to achieve.
