Considering PSN+ cloud storage is just 10GB I still wouldn't really advise using the cloud as a method of keeping onto a save file that size, esp on the ps4 where you can just as easily move the file from a console to a usb drive and save it on a PC.

Regarding your first post: 5 gigs for an NBA save file eh? I don't really pay attention to the individual sizes in my library, but that seems large. Gonna have a look when I get a chance. Curious now. Also.....And I could be wrong on this. I notice things then half forget. There's always the possibility it was a dream too....But I think each PS system has it's own cloud storage space. I've played quite a few games, backup everything, and have yet to run out of space on the PS3, Vita, or PS4, which is why I find a 5gb save file size so surprising.

If I'm not mistaken a lot of the 2k games are tragically bad for keeping their file size in check, I remember getting rid of the save files from the wwe games on the ps4 because they were up around the 1-2gb mark each as well, most games are in the region of 10-50mb so you'll not run into problems keeping a ton of games backing up, just the odd stand out title that doesn't care about your hdd.
