NBA 2K19 Features and Game Modes

As a managerial assistant with Eastern Lift Truck, Michael "Mike" Angeleri is responsible for delivering and picking up tires and other automotive parts from distributors throughout New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. When he isn't working, Michael Angeleri enjoys playing video games. He counts the NBA 2K series as one of his favorites.

NBA 2K19 was released in September and the latest edition of the popular basketball franchise scored an impressive 8.5/10 rating by IGN. The website called NBA 2K19 "the best of the series" due to its "strong sense of style" and "rock-solid gameplay." In that regard, the game expands upon the authentic environments created in past games with obsessive attention to detail, such as in-game commentary that focuses on anecdotal stories rather than actually describing the play during a blowout game. Moreover, league games include in-game interviews with the real voice of NBA players. There's also pre- and post-game shows that feature TNT analysts Kenny Smith, Shaquille O'Neal, and Ernie Johnson Jr. 

Game modes include MyLeague, which allows players to build a championship-contending team and has a variety of customizable aspects, and the RPG-focused MyCareer. In MyCareer, players manage the career of an undrafted prospective NBA player and are tasked with improving his abilities in China and the G-League before earning a roster spot on an NBA team.

Rob McElhenney's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Training Routine

The recipient of a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from a Pennsylvania-based university, Michael "Mike" Angeleri is a managerial assistant with Eastern Lift Truck, where he is responsible for loading and offloading trucks, among other tasks. In his free time, Michael Angeleri enjoys watching TV comedy series like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Prior to the release of its season 13 premiere episode, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney took to Twitter to tell fans he had "done something really dumb." Revealed at around the 10-minute mark of the episode when he took off his shirt, McElhenney's character (Mac) had actually worked himself into incredible shape. His physique was in stark contrast to in 2011 when he ate five 1,000-calorie meals a day in an effort to gain 50 pounds for the show.

McElhenney later detailed his workout regiment in preparation for the 13th season of the series on Instagram and it's not one that's easily followed. In addition to cutting alcohol, carbs, and sugar from his diet, he lifted weights six days per week, ran three miles per day, and hired the personal trainer from the Magic Mike film franchise. He completed the transformation in a seven-month span.
