The first gameplay video of NBA 2K9 is here, showing off some of the greatest NBA players - Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Joe Johnson - crossing over and dunking on the poor defenders.

With me being a big time NBA and Laker fan, I feel this is the perfect time to say that the Lakers will win the NBA Championship this year.

The vid is in the source. Look for the game on October 7th.
