2K Sports has released the latest 'Yakkem' trailer for their upcoming sports game, NBA 2K15. Not only will gamers be doing tons of slam dunks, the videogame includes voiceover work by game commentary from sportscaster Ernie Johnson and basketball star Shaquille O'Neal.

In the trailer, we see players dribbling making passes, and getting ready to shoot their three-pointers. With the benefit of slow motion, gamers will get to enjoy when their favorite player makes a slam dunk. The camera sweeps in on the basketball stars as the packed crowd cheers them on.

Notice the details added to the character design. The game designers even added a dance routine for the cheerleaders. The momentum builds as the trailer rocks out to the Red Hot Chill Peppers' Suck My Kiss.

The sneak peak begins and ends with the hilarious commentary by Johnson and O'Neal, who coins the phrase, "Yakkem." The retired basketball player then adds a mumbled phrase, which the TNT host asks, "How do you spell that?"

As mentioned here, Pharrell Williams is the music curator for the game. The Happy rapper has chosen 27 must-listen to tracks from the upcoming soundtrack. The hip hop artist has picked out fellow musicians Lorde, Lauryn Hill, Public Enemy, which is just naming a few in the score.
