Former NBA All-Star Michael Redd recently shared a story about his son unknowingly playing as him in NBA 2K, without realizing he was controlling his own father.
In the video, Redd explained that his son would often play NBA 2K and select the All-Time Milwaukee Bucks team, where Michael Redd is featured as a sharpshooting guard. Despite the name and likeness being identical, his son never made the connection.
Michael Redd says his son never knew he was an NBA player & would play as his dad in 2K but have no idea it was his dad.
