2K Sports has revealed the results of its NBA season simulation, with the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics predicted to reach the final and the Warriors tipped to defend their coveted title.

Even more specifically, the publishers have forecast that the star-studded Warriors team - which includes Stephen Curry - will win the title in five games.

Others predictions from the game include Warriors coach Steve Kerr winning the Coach of the Year title, while Celtics player Kyrie Irving has been tipped to star in game four of the finals.

The game was launched in September and Ronnie Singh - the digital marketing director of 2K Sports - recently admitted that the title is so popular, he now gets recognised by video game fans in the street.

Asked if he gets noticed exclusively by guys, Ronnie replied: "I'd say 90-95 percent. There are girls that come up though and know and say hey my boyfriend loves your game and I have to get him out of there. And they joke, saying 'I wish your game didn't exist.'

"I've actually heard a lot of stories about girls picking up games in this particular launch and not just for their boyfriends. I think Neighborhood, our new feature, really made the big steps because it's not just about basketball."
