New 'NBA 2K16' Trailer Showcases Gameplay, Mouthguard Habits and Video Bombs

The folks at 2K Sports released a preview for NBA 2K16 on Monday.

Titled "#WINNING," the promo showcases some of the new wrinkles and facets developed for the franchise's latest edition, most notably the distinct upticks in mouth-fiddling realism and postgame prankery.

Yes. If you've been thinking to yourself, "This basketball game is good, but where is the jaw work?"—your concerns have been addressed.

Behold NBA 2K16: Look at These Mouthguards!

The players' tics are covered on a microscopic level, and even digital sideline reporters can't have an easy, normal day at work. The computers are becoming aware.

Somewhere, a red eye flickers to life in a robotics assembly plant. 

Dan is on Twitter. The J.R. "Hey girl hey" face has to be programmed into this edition. It is a must.
