Much like with the Lunar New Year and Out of Orbit events, MyTeam players will need to collect 15 separate items in order to get 98 OVR Galaxy Opal Russell Westbrook.
The first 10 are Takeover player items. From February 10 to 23, 2K will be releasing 10 new Takeover cards. Each will be needed for the collection of 98 OVR Westbrook. The first five Takeover cards were released on February 10.
Here’s a look at the players that will be needed for this collection:
