The NBA Playoffs have advanced to the Eastern and Western Conference finals, and based on the remaining teams, a team will win the championship for the first time since at least 1975-76. The Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Clippers, and Milwaukee Bucks are all contenders, and each team boasts All-Star players. However, the Atlanta Hawks, led by Trae Young and John Collins, are also present in a surprising manner. In a new NBA 2K21 MyTeam Moments Agenda Group, gamers can now recreate moments involving these four playoff teams and their stars.
NBA 2K21 Moments Agenda Group for Playoff Stars Devin Booker and John Collins
The first game of the Western Conference finals was played on Sunday, with the Phoenix Suns defeating the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 1 of the series. Booker stepped up in a big way with teammate Chris Paul out due to the COVID-19 protocol, scoring 40 points, grabbing 13 rebounds, and dishing out 11 assists in the win. As a result, the No. 2 Suns defeated the No. 4 Clippers 120-114, giving them a 1-0 lead in the Western Conference.
The other game on Sunday provided one of those rare moments in sports that sports fans get to enjoy every now and then. It was a make-or-break Game 7 in Philadelphia, with the underdog Atlanta Hawks coming in and upsetting the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Trae Young had a difficult shooting night, going only 5-of-23 from the field, but he still finished with 21 points and 10 assists. In the team's 103-96 victory, his teammate John Collins contributed with a double-double of 14 points and 16 rebounds. As a result, the Hawks advanced to the Eastern Conference finals, where they will face Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks.
Along with the playoff stats and results, there is a new NBA 2K21 MyTeam Moments Agenda Group that includes Collins, Booker, and other playoff teams or stars. Terance Mann was on the losing end in Game 1 against Phoenix, but he appears on the schedule, as does Kevin Durant, who scored 48 points for the Nets in their Game 7 loss to Milwaukee.

Other additions to 2K's MT Season 8 content
In addition to the new NBA 2K21 MyTeam Moments Agendas, there are a few other new items to look out for in the Season 8 content. Flash Super Packs are a new limited-time series of packs that were released in conjunction with another limited-time series of packs. These are only available for 48 hours and include cards such as the Dark Matter items released for James Harden, Wilt Chamberlain, and Paul George, among others. Wilt's card is of the "Glitched" variety. DeMar DeRozan and Kristaps Portzingis are also in the lineup.
Unfortunately, these packs can only be purchased with VC and not with the NBA 2K MT coins. They begin at 11,250 VC for a single pack of five cards and rise to 101,250 VC for the 10-pack boxes. Twenty-pack boxes sell for 202,500 VC.
While the Dark Matter cards listed above are reprints, the ones listed below are not. They are new Triple Threat Rewards featuring Rudy Gobert, Jordan Clarkson, and Julius Randle that were just made available as DM items. Gobert, who was recently named Defensive Player of the Year, has a new 99 OVR card available as a reward in the Vault after winning games. The other two are available as part of Triple Threat Online, with Randle being an upgrade from his previous Galaxy Opal item.
Meanwhile, many gamers are still chasing the 150,000 total XP required to reach Level 40 in MyTeam Season 8. Completing the NBA 2K21 MyTeam Moments Agendas mentioned above will provide at least 4,000 XP toward that goal. Accumulating certain cards along the Season Agenda path can also be beneficial, as those players are featured in a variety of Agendas. There are still more than 20 days left in NBA 2K21's MyTeam Season 8 for players to reach the top-level requirement in order to obtain the Luka Donic Dark Matter card, which can then be used to complete even more Agendas.
