2K Sports Rolls Out New NBA ‘Essence’ Device

Novato, CA- The makers of NBA 2K are selling an accessory package that allows fans of the cyber-sport to not only experience the sights and sounds of the tournament games, but to smell the freshly waxed hardwood floor, the leather ball, and even the players themselves. “This is a slam dunk,” exclaimed NBA marketing exec Willis Lanier, “I mean who doesn’t want to get a closeup whiff of Kevin Durant?” 

In order to receive this ground breaking feature, apparently all you need is a smart TV with an HDMI port. In Beta testing, favorite scents included buttered popcorn, the Dallas Maverick Dancers, and pints of craft beer. The least favorite odors included Pau Gasol’s pits, David Stern’s breath, and Draymond Green in general.

YouTube and Twitch both considered cooperative crossover deals but declined saying, “Its stupid.”
