College basketball’s premier pre-season tournament to help tip-off the 2008-09 season

New York, NY - 2K Sports, the sports publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), announced today the top 21 high school basketball players selected for the pre-season 2008 2K Sports New York State High School All-Star Team. Nominated by a panel of respected scouts and basketball writers, each of the players selected, along with their respective coaches, will be honored in a live presentation at halftime during the 2K Sports Classic Benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer championship game at Madison Square Garden on November 21, 2008.

Lance Stephenson, a 6’ 5“ shooting guard from Brooklyn’s Lincoln High School, headlines the pre-season 2K Sports New York State High School All-Star Team after leading his team to its unprecedented third-straight Public School Athletic League (P.S.A.L.) championship.
