Yeah if Pierce is a 94, we're going to have a lot of 97-99s walking around..

I saw Pierce's whole career lol. The absolute highest he should be is a 91.

A 94 is actually absurdly high and I see 2K doing a lot of overrating of past players like you said smh. A 94 puts him in the same conversation as guys like current LeBron, KD, Westbrook, Harden, AD, etc. and he was never that good.

Quick reminder that the teams actually design the jerseys and have the final say over any design changes Nike suggests.

5. Tim Hardaway
6. Chris Mullin
7. Mitch Richmond
8. Latrell Sprewell
9. Stephen Curry
10. Klay Thompson

... this is where I have to go way back...

11. Paul Arizin (10-time All-Star all with the Warriors)
12. Neil Johnston (5-time All-Star all with the Warriors)

... and then this is where I go to Basketball Reference to see who else is floating out there...

13. Tom Gola (3 or 4-time All-Star with the Warriors)
14. Jeff Mullins (3-time All-Star in 10 years with Warriors, seventh in Warriors all-time scoring)
15. Purvis Short (eighth all-time leading scorer in Warriors history, no all-star appearances)

...And a couple modern guys I forgot...

16. Baron Davis (4 seasons, 0 All-Star appearances, 1 great playoff run ending in second round)
17. Jason Richardson (6 seasons, 0 All-Star appearances)

I don't know, while accounting for the possibility that I missed someone really obvious, I think there's an outside shot that someone having the single season and finals performance that Kevin Durant did (overwhelming Finals MVP while putting up 35, 8, and 5) could overshadow someone like Sleepy Floyd, who had that nasty playoff quarter and one all-star appearance in four or five seasons with the Warriors.

It gets a little tough when measuring longevity vs. impact. Durant's impact was about as extreme as it could get and could probably compensate for multiple years in town at a much lesser impact.
most likely this.

KG definitely deserves a spot.

BTW, PP looks good in this pic.

Not sure about the last part since they arguably could have still won had it been Harrison Barnes in that spot. As of right now I would have Draymond's body of work more deserving of landing on their all time squad.. that could obviously change 3 years down the line however.
