If you are good at the game and win a lot of online matches, then maybe you should consider entering one of the many NBA2K tournaments available online, because many offer you the chance to win some money or some cool prizes.
If you are unfamiliar with the NBA2K games, they have been around since 1999, when at first it was a Sega Dreamcast exclusive. But today the games are on almost every platform, and the newest versions can be found on the Sony PSP, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, the Xbox 360 and on PC's.
Every version of the game has had a top basketball player on the game cover, including star players like Shaquille O'Neil, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett. The game made headlines across the world though when the NBA2K11 announced that Michael Jordan would be the cover star. This was the first time an inactive player had appeared on the cover, and also the first time in a very long time that this legend of basketball was in a video game.

Many have set up very good rules to prevent cheating, or technical problems. If for example an opponent never shows up for a scheduled game, you will get a bye into the next round.
