What is the title of NBA 2K19's career mode story?

NBA 2K19’s career mode story is titled The Way Back.

The story follows the player-created basketball prospect through a career setback and an attempt to return to the professional game. It was written and presented as a cinematic MyCareer narrative, combining basketball gameplay with scenes featuring a professional cast.

Anthony Mackie leads the cast, with appearances from Aldis Hodge, Haley Joel Osment, Ginger Gonzaga, Rob Huebel, Mo McRae, Ricky Whittle, and Michael Rapaport. The story also includes a path through China before the player reaches the broader professional basketball world, giving the campaign a more international setting than some earlier entries.

The main source of confusion is the game’s other story terminology. The Prelude was the pre-release introduction used to lead players into MyCareer, while Livin' Da Dream was the career story in NBA 2K18. The Way Back is specifically the NBA 2K19 campaign.
