The Chicago-based company late last month released NBA Ballers: Phenom, a basketball-themed game for Microsoft’s Xbox and Sony’s PlayStation 2 systems. The game includes product integrations of T-Mobile, Spalding and Sprite.

After they are drafted, players’ characters communicate throughout the game via a T-Mobile Sidekick.
