Wali Jones, 83 years old but forever young, is not one of those back-in-my-day guys.

If the calendar flipping to 2026 felt anticlimactic, NBA 2K26 has other plans. Season 4 doesn’t ease players into the new year—it sprints out of the tunnel wearing an All-Star jacket, blasting spotlights, and reminding everyone that grinding never takes a holiday.
