While the players continue to adopt the Mamba Mentality, Zach Leonsis, the senior VP of strategic initiatives for Monumental Sports & Entertainment, can’t help but smile at what the team has already accomplished this year. One of 17 original NBA 2K League teams when the league launched in 2018, WDG qualified for the playoffs in its inaugural season before missing the postseason last year. The franchise won the NBA 2K League draft lottery and used the No. 1 overall pick to select Mascone, who averaged 21 points and 5.5 assists as a rookie, helping WDG to a 13-3 regular season record.
