What Video Games Do Real Basketball Stars Play?

"I have Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, the Kinect, Wii...I have all that stuff," said Miami Heat superstar LeBron James. "I play them all."

Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs said that video games are so popular that his teammates play PS3 and Xbox 360 on the road in hotels, go multiplayer with PSP on the team plane and then game at home in custom home entertainment set-ups.

"I actually travel with a portable TV for the HD purposes and I bring all my games with me," said Atlanta Hawks All-Star Joe Johnson, who plays stereoscopic 3D games back home on his PS3. "It's just something to keep me busy while we're on the road."

"I play a lot of FIFA," said Boston Celtics center Kevin Garnett, who was on the cover of NBA 2K9. "I go back and forth between Call of Duty and FIFA. I love soccer. I'm a huge soccer fan. I play with A.C. Milan. But I'm also a huge Chelsea fan."

A lot of NBA superstars love EA Sports' Madden franchise. Roger Mason of the New York Knicks, who's a big Madden guy, said he's found that a lot of NBA players are Madden fans and a lot of NFL players are NBA 2K fans.

Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks likes to keep it old school with his gaming. He plays classics like Galaga and Double Dragon. But you can also find him online playing shooters like Ghost Recon and Black Ops.
