That question made way for some discussion. The Xbox people said, “How many Xboxes tall are you making your NBA 2K26 MyPLAYER?” What kind of measurement is this? Using consoles as an indicator of height? Yeah, it’s Xbox, odd things tend to happen there, and this one really cracked the crowd up with all the funny reactions.
We need to have a proper understanding of what this thing is all about. NBA 2K26 isn’t even out, but making MyPLAYER is kind of like a thing. You can customize your baller, make him tall, short, whatever. But measurement in Xboxes? That’s a new one. Just to explain things a little more, as Grok said, the heights of an Xbox Series X is less than 12 inches (actually, 11.85 inches). So if they’re saying 7 feet, in Xboxes, um… 7 of Xboxes? Dude, math is hard.
The discussion going on in the replies to this one is worthy of the history books. One of them says they are a cat and that they are only 2 Xboxes tall at max. Another dude just said ‘All of them’, like, wow. But not everybody was playing along. Some gamers considered the opportunity to redeem themselves for other Xbox stuff. Like, one person was mad that online play isn’t free, ranting about GamePass memberships priced too high. Another asked to have their pre-order returned, which definitely, I reckon, is another whole big thing.
Then there was this great drama about currency loopholes. Somebody was complaining about players from Thailand using VPNs to buy games cheaper from the Turkish store. He called it “the worst thing” and wanted Xbox to do something. And then someone else calls him a snitch, which is just messy. Gamers really bring the tea even on a silly tweet about basketball game height.
And then, of course, the classic comes: “I don’t play games with terrible MTX.” Microtransactions inside NBA 2K are a full debate, obviously. But somehow bringing them up as a reply to a height query? That’s some next-level petty, and I’m totally here for it.
Some folks seemed very confused about this thing, like the one who thought NBA games are some sort of joke and are not played for real. Wait, I was speaking about the metric system. Some persons claimed that Americans will use anything but metrics – pretty much true. In America, things are measured in football fields, Big Macs, and now, Xboxes. It’s a whole vibe.
The Xbox social media staff probably thought this was a cool way to promote engagement and it was almost a success. Then it was hijacked by a de facto customer support forum where people began to talk about other issues such as suspended accounts and missing games. Like, one guy called for urgent assistance and demanded that he got nothing from the website, uncool. Social media managers must be living some wild lives, having to deal with so much random stuff.
That thread is a wild mix of humor, frustration, and useless information. Grok even figured out how much 7 Xboxes stacked would be, just under 7 feet, so close to a slam dunk but not quite. Man, that’s serious dedication to the bit. Another person chimed in, saying their character was around 8 Xbox tall, which is huge, at least 7.9 feet, basically a giant on the court.
It’s crazy how an issue in its simplicity will entertain so much about the community. The gamers are passionate and have opinions about everything, from consignments of prices to measuring consoles. They’re not afraid to tell companies what they think, even though their subject matter is entirely off the wall. Xbox probably never foresaw that customer complaints on currency exploits would arise from simple questions about NBA 2K26 height, but such is a way that Twitter so often works.
Finally, it’s just one of those weird and fun tweets that prompted so many conversations. Whether you’re 2 Xboxes tall with your cute little MyPLAYER because you’re a cat or 8 with plans to own the paint, it’s all in good fun. At least, no one needed to use the metric system. So next time when you build your player, consider how many consoles tall you are. Or maybe don’t, because it’s pretty silly. But hey, the whole idea engaged us, so props to Xbox for that.
Well, that’s the gist of this random social media instance. Gamers will gam, complain, and measure things in odd units. That’s what makes the community so much fun. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to find out how many Xboxes tall I am. Probably around 3.5; I’m not that tall. But in NBA 2K26, I’ll definitely be crafting that 10-Xbox-High monster because I can.
