We are 22 days away from the release of NBA 2K13 and today we get our first look at the official trailer for the game.

Not surprisingly the game looks the best it ever has and it promises to be the deepest yet as well.

Just by watching the trailer you can see the detail that 2K Sports went into to make this game. We see LeBron James going for a chasedown block, Lob City in full effect and even JaVale McGee throwing an alley-oop to himself off the backboard on a fast break.

There are some Oklahoma City Thunder highlights as well. Kevin Durant is seen shooting a couple of threes as well as James Harden. Russell Westbrook is featured a little bit more including one nasty slam that looks exactly like him complete with the snarl-face reaction he is known for.

Also present in the trailer is the ankle-breaking animations most notably Eric Gordon making Jared Dudley fall and then a little montage of Stephen Curry with some step back dribble moves. The trailer was not without some clips of Dwight Howard as a Laker as he is shown catching some lobs.

The game will come out Oct. 2. To help get you in the mood, I have made my predictions on what overall rating every Thunder player will have in this year’s game.
