The NBA All-Star Weekend is here
And while the basketball fans are jubilant over the Starry 3-Point Contest, AT&T Slam Dunk Contest, and revamped All-Star Game tournament in San Francisco, NBA 2K25 gamers have a reason to celebrate as well. As a nod to the festivities, 2K is releasing a free Galaxy Opal Elton Brand card in MyTeam mode, which is a rare gift for the players. Here's everything you need to know to grab this elite card before time runs out.

Why This Card is Important
Galaxy Opal cards remain some of the most sought after in NBA 2K25's MyTeam mode, due to their maxed-out stats and limited availability that usually requires grinding or cash to acquire. This particular one is a nod to Elton Brand's remarkable performance in the 2000 Rookie Challenge MVP where the All-Star Weekend was held in the Bay Area for the last time before 2025.
In a game against longtime rookie foe Jason Williams of the Sacramento Kings, Brand scored 16 points with a tale to tell, besides his 21 rebounds and 12 offensive boards, helping the rookies prevail 107-99. This card memorializes that legacy, which collectors and competitive players alike should not miss.

All-Star Weekend in Real Life and MyTeam
While the real-world All-Star Weekend runs from February 14 to 16, involving dunk contests and a new tournament-style game, NBA 2K25 takes on that excitement with special challenges, themed packs, and bonuses in XP. Whether you're watching IRL events or grinding in MyTeam, it looks to be a grand slam for basketball fans.
Final Thoughts
A free Galaxy Opal card does not come by often, and it combined with nostalgia and utility just perfectly relates to Elton Brand. There is no reason not to redeem that code, be you a casual player or MyTeam diehard.
