Shades Of Pack: Cards To Consider
Each and every one of these NBA 2K23 ‘Shades Of’ cards are special to have on your team, no matter who you acquire. But let’s face it, some are simply better than others and bring a far greater level of versatility with the strengths they provide.
With six new cards to go after, here’s our Top 2 ‘Shades Of’ Part 2 players you should consider for your lineup.
1. Ja Morant: If you’re a big Ja Morant fan, you’re going to love this Pink Diamond card. After winning the Most Improved Player Award last season, Morant has proved how great of a talent he continues to be and MyTEAM blessed him with an elite card as a result. Morant has five Hall of Fame badges that consist of Posterizer, Limitless Takeoff, Quick First Step, Fearless Finisher, and Fast Twitch.
2. Jaden Ivey: Though the young rookie point guard starts off as an 85 overall, his 92 diamond final evolve form makes for an excellent card to have. Upon reaching 92 overall, Ivey will have 16 gold badges and two Hall of Fame badges as well, which include Fast Twitch and Slithery.
NBA 2K23: Latest Takeover Player
The newest NBA 2K23 Takeover Player is the legendary Los Angeles Laker Elgin Baylor. His card just dropped and will be available to unlock for a week.
