If your memory serves you correct, last year, Jay-Z held down executive producer duties for the soundtrack to the video game NBA 2K13. This year, the 2K Sports team enlisted the NBA Final’s MVP, LeBron James, to handle the music on this year’s title and we must say we’re rather surprised. Bron Bron definitely added that Summer touch with Billboard smash hits like “Started From The Bottom,” “Blurred Lines” and “Can’t Hold Us,” but he also got random with it by sprnkling a few unsigned artists and alternative tracks (Phil Collins, we see you) we never expected.

Other notable picks by James include Kendrick Lamar’s “Now Or Never” from GKMC and gems from Kanye West, Jadakiss, Jay-Z, Eminem & Big K.R.I.T.

LeBron James played the first game of fourth NBA Finals last night in which he recorded a triple double. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to overpower western conference foes, the San Antonio Spurs, from stealing homecourt advantage. Game 2 is slated for Sunday night and surely Miami hopes to even the series 1-1. But until James regains our focus this weekend, here’s a little filler. The leagues MVP has been tapped to cover the most popular basketball game around, 2K Sports “2K14.”
