Dunking is not just a game, it's a way of life. And if you want to dunk like LeBron, you gotta train like him. That's why I was excited to try out NBA 2K19 on Nintendo Switch. Let me tell you, it's like having a personal coach in your pocket. From plyometric exercises for vertical jump to leg workouts to increase vertical, NBA 2K19 has got you covered.

First off, the graphics are tight. You can see the sweat dripping off the players and the ball bouncing realistically. It feels like you're really on the court. The game modes are sick too. I love MyCAREER, which lets you create your own player and take them all the way to the NBA. And MyTEAM is dope because you can collect player cards and build your own dream team.

But what really sets NBA 2K19 apart is the Neighborhood. It's like a whole open world where you can explore and play basketball. You can join pick-up games, enter dunk contests, and even go to the barbershop to get a fresh cut. It's so immersive, you forget you're playing a video game.

Of course, NBA 2K19 is not perfect. One thing that bugs me is the loading times. Sometimes you gotta wait a minute or two just to get into a game. And the commentary can get repetitive after a while. But those are minor issues compared to all the fun you can have playing NBA 2K19.

Pros:
- Immersive Neighborhood mode
- MyCAREER and MyTEAM game modes
- Split Joy Con support for playing on the go

Cons:
- Long loading times
- Repetitive commentary

Bottom line: If you're looking for a fun and engaging basketball game on Nintendo Switch, NBA 2K19 is a slam dunk. It's got all the features you need to train your vertical jump and dunk like a pro. Just make sure you have some patience for the loading times. 8.5/10.
