We Facebooked each other, and we just talked about what would be interesting to do," Gill recalled. "I subscribed to his videos on YouTube and he subscribed to mine, and we just linked up. According to Khan, the video racked up more than 1 million views in its first three days online. A while back, he teamed up with Gill, a 40-year-old modder based in New York, and the Space Jam mod is the most recent hit in their partnership. MkEliteWorksX is the moniker of Muhammad Khan, a 21-year-old senior at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago. Gill didn't have much to do with the video itself it went up on the channel of YouTube user " MkEliteWorksX," an individual who regularly posts gaming-related clips, including a variety of NBA 2K mods.

"The funny thing is, I didn't expect it," said Jermaine Gill, a co-creator of the Space Jam mod, in a phone interview with Polygon. And the subject of the mod itself, the 1996 film Space Jam, is one that awakens a powerful coefficient of virality: the collective childhood nostalgia of the Millennial generation. NBA 2K14 itself had become a tremendously popular game by then, and searching the title on YouTube yields dozens of fan-created videos before official trailers come up. Enjoy.If you're in the business of analyzing what makes a video go viral, the Space Jam mod for NBA 2K14 that became a YouTube hit in mid-February could serve as an interesting case study.Īt a running time of more than 11 minutes, it's much longer than a typical viral clip, but it has a few important things going for it. Leave me feedback on the mods if I messed up anywhere. Working on a Legends M圜areer Roster I'll be dropping in a couple of days. I'll upload that Summer Circuit Mod either tonight or tomorrow.


This mod is similar to the Street Mod except the Venues are The Summer Circuit Gym for Las Vegas, and Orlando Arena for the East coast tournament. For now its just a template since the team rosters haven't been announced yet. The Summer Circuit Mod will come tomorrow. CAT logos have been replaced with new logos for Street Ball. Classic Teams will also have Summer league jerseys and shorts appropriate to their era. Rucker Park Day/Night courts alternating between teams, Summer League jerseys and alternate Tshirt jerseys for each nba team. (The roster used to make these mods is the latest Official 2K roster dated 6/17/14.) (I also uploaded a Beta roster with alternate NBA jerseys if anyone was interested in checking that out. Okay, I just posted the first roster mod on 2kshare for PS3.
