Before editing a NBA2K player 3D model in Blender, i would suggest to delete all the low LODs (level of details) sections in the hihead.scne file.
So here's a small video tutorial and the instructions :
00:00 open hihead.scne in Notepad++
00:03 In the MODEL section, search for LOD
00:08 This is the lod size of the HIGHEST LOD section. We keep this, move on.
00:11 This is what we look for. The first line of the Lod1 section.
00:22 So we will select everything, including the previous line, to the end of the Lod5 section (hold shift + down arrow )
00:37 Then we delete LOD1 to LOD5 sections
00:46 We keep only the highest LOD section and we close this section properly
00:50 Just under, in the OBJECT section, we replace all other Lod (1 to 5) entries by the highest one (lazy editing)
00:59 - Finish, dont forget to save the file :-)

ps: if the 3d model has hair/facial hair, remove also the lods on ALL scne files to avoir black strings
