'NBA 2K15' News Release Date [VIDEO] Kevin Durant Plays As LeBron James, Not Himself - MVP Tells 'Tonight Show' Host Jimmy Fallon "I'm Really Good"

NBA 2K15 has a release date set for October 7, 2014, and like most gamers waiting in anticipation for the title, MVP Kevin Durant is excited to get his own chance to play! While appearing on The Tonight Show, host Jimmy Fallon asked Durant if he's any good at the game, pointing out that he's beaten other video game stars at their own game - video gaming-wise. Kevin told Jimmy he might have trouble taking him on in the game, saying he's very good, but also surprised the late night host by revealing he plays as another NBA star in the game: LeBron James!

Fallon showed off the new cover art for the game, featuring Kevin in action, then mentioned how he beat Tiger Woods and Pierce Brosnan in a video gaming challenge. Durant is obviously from a different generation than those two stars, so he's more into gaming and says he's better than "decent." Since the game isn't out yet, the two have to wait to play one another.

Maybe the best part of the interview is that Durant admitted that he doesn't play as his gaming self in the NBA 2K games.

"That's kind of arrogant," he told Jimmy, who then pressed the NBA MVP to reveal which star he plays as in the game.

After a beat, Durant admits that he plays as LeBron James, his pseudo rival in the NBA.

Check out this great interview segment right here:

Hopefully we get to see Durant take on Fallon when the game comes out next month!
