I'm not even a Heat fan but that's so stupid. The fact that they didn't add 06 Heat is disrespect to Wade in my eyes. This team is too recent.

1)1972-73 Boston Celtics Havlicek, Cowen, Silas, White, Chaney & Nelson

I'd like to see, but know it's a long shot
92-93 Suns
00-01 Pacers
02-03 Kings
03-04 TWolves

We'll probably see

They're some dope teams from the past 15 years that would be fun to use.

09 Blazers
09, 10 Lakers
04 Wolves
02, 03 Nets
08 GSW
06 Heat
04, 07 Spurs
05, 07 Suns

My picks would be Blazers, Suns, Lakers, Wolves.
Most likely Spurs, Suns, Nets make it and the last one is a toss up. Nobody was expecting the 13 Heat.

One of the Spurs championship teams will definitely be in so for the last 4 teams I will go with:

03 Spurs >05 and 07 Spurs, they beat the 03 Mavs(who are in the game)in the WCF, David Robinson's last year.
06 Heat
10 Lakers
11 Mavs

I think those teams are the best of the last 15 years.

# 150 Cowboyfan_19 @ 08/28/15 12:41 AM

Last 4 teams are going to probly be the '05 Suns, '03 Spurs, '03 Nets, and '04 T-Wolves.

Very unfortunate that the '13 Heat had to replace another team that has fewer active players.

# 151 SimBaller @ 08/28/15 02:14 AM

You guys will enjoy the last four. They round things out rather nicely. Always room for more; I wish we could have added another 10!

# 152 javicd21 @ 08/28/15 02:40 AM

I'm a Heat fan and I believe there should be like a 5 or 6 years in between the teams that make it to the classics. But I guess it's good to have the team there.

Sorry, but how the HELL are the 12/13 Heat part of the 'classic' teams????

I was stoked about the new additions, but this has REALLY taken the wind out of my sails. Urgh.

SO many amazing retro teams to chose from and 2k goes with a squad that's literally JUST a couple of years old.

Excitement levels just depleted.

Good news for LBJ fans I guess - Enjoy.

the average kid buying this game is a heat/lebron fan, sure us OS guys don't like it but it's a smart choice to get more sales, my coussin will love this

# 155 Jordanmike6 @ 08/28/15 05:48 AM

HEAT 2013 are not a classic team!! huge disapointment!!

but maybe heat 2013 = online classic game because of the fact this team is a commercial team and heat 2013 it is 4 finals in a row and for me it is sure a hide 3 peat!!

I love the Celtics 08 but it was not so far when i played with them on nba 2k9, 2k10 and 2k11!!
So heat 13 or celtics 08 for me are not classic team!!
I really thought Celtics 08 will be the last team!
Even rockets 08 were not waited!

Raptors 01 ok
Pistons 04 ok
Lakers 01 ok
Portland 00 i love!!
Mavs 03 why not!!
All those team are classic
but celtics 08, rockets 08 and heat 13 definitively a big NO!!

But those 3 last weeks, i read some people who wanted Heat 2013!!
Two solutions:
those guys are crazy and totally unconscious to give such ideas to 2k
second solutions: those guys are working for 2k directly and give a signal to prepare everybody to see Heat 2013 and be understandable with the 3 persons who wanted Heat 2013!

Of course i think it is the second option!

Remember for 2k13, at the beginning only a few people would like to see Allan Iverson and the sixers 01.
This led we got dream team and sixers 01!

# 156 jeebs9 @ 08/28/15 06:17 AM

We have to get the sixers right?

It is what it is, I can't do anything but show my disappointment with this selection.

I'm one of 'those' guys who never jumped on the Heat/Bron bandwagon. Never liked 'em. Still don't.

Would've taken the '97 Heat all day every day over 'that' team.

I still want the 2006 Heat team. I do like that we get the back to back champs though.

Hey, you're talking to a Spurs fan man....I will NEVER forgive that team....winning the chip the next year made it better but I have a certain disdain for that particular team even though I'm a fan of LeBron in general. I'm not thrilled about the entry but I do think it fits into this "best teams of the 2000's" theme they're going with...don't let the inclusion of one team ruin it for you. I won't let all these Lakers teams ruin it for me, lol
