While he gears up for the Ryan Coogler – directed Black Panther, alongside Chadwick Boseman and Lupita Nyong’o, Michael B. is living out another one of his dreams: NBA 2K17.

The 2K series tapped MBJ to star in its latest edition of MyCareer. The mode allows gamers to create a character and launch their journey to and through the NBA. Of course, as with sports and life challenges present themselves along the way.

Jordan will star as emerging NBA player, Justice Young. He’s also friends with your created character and helps guide you through tough choices and decisions.

The Creed star shared the news on his Instagram page.

“I’m humbled at the opportunity to help influence a franchise that I’ve been passionate fan of since its first release,” Jordan stated in a news release.
