Sony has released two dramatic new trailers for NBA 07 featuring The Life Volume 2, originally a PS2 game. The trailers basically show the challenges that basketball stars go through in their personal lives.

In the first trailer, Big W grabs the lead role as the star player and as a father. Given his talent, he receives tremendous pressure from his team, and from the franchise owners themselves. However, despite the good turns in his career, he struggles to be a devoted father to his son, who later falls ill. Having his son in comatose, he then has to learn how to cope being the man that his team turns to, while staying strong for his son.

The second trailer features Kid, a basketball star hailed as the MVP the previous season. Everything is looking dandy for Kid, with everyone looking up to him as the golden boy of the season. However, tragedy strikes and leaves him with an injured knee. His career is threatened as the knee injury poses to prevent him from playing the rest of the season. He strives to get back on the court and undergoes rehabilitation, but it was not meant to be easy. When he gets back on his feet, he finds that in his absence, a new team dynamic has formed and it pretty much left him out of the picture. But Kid is determined to regain his spot that he unwillingly had to give up because of the injury. And so he makes a comeback for the finals, and he is out to make sure that everyone know he's back.

Well, those sure are tearjerking stories. Not your typical toughie trailers, especially for a game as macho as basketball. Then again, it sure is nice to see the soft side in every tough guy.
