In January, there was a Madden NFL video game tournament at Microsoft headquarters. In June, it will be an NBA 2K24 event for local kids and gamers to play against Seattle area professional athletes, benefitting the Kent youth center. On June 14, there will be an NBA 2K24 video game tournament at Microsoft headquarters from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m., which sounds like a fun time all by itself.

Twenty kids from the Kent youth center will be able to participate in this tournament against some of their heroes. Imagine playing an NBA game, against NBA players. That's what these kids will be able to do with Pacific Northwest stars like Isaiah Thomas and Nate Robinson on hand.
