Re: NBA 2K16 Adds '04-'05 Phoenix Suns & '05-'06 Miami Heat to List of Classic Teams
Haha, seriously though. Made for a great surprise, at least.
I really like the inclusion of the 2005 Suns. Hopefully they (and all the other classic teams) have been handled with care, both in terms of appearance (Steve Nash's hair) and playstyle (modern 2K take on seven seconds or less).
Also digging the 2006 Heat team, though being a Pistons fan doesn't make them a super draw (time seems to heal some wounds though). I thought they'd be bypassed after the 2013 Heat were added so I'm glad I was wrong.
I feel as though a Spurs team would have to be offered up as one of the final two options, especially with the current crew winding down. I'd be a fan of the 2003 or 2005 teams. I suppose '05 would offer the big three as close to their collective primes as possible though, back when Manu Ginobili had hair.
I'm not a fan of my next guess, but I feel as though one of the Gasol/Bryant/Bynum Lakers teams could make it. Again, I kind of feel I could make that team on my own and with the '98 and '01 Lakers already included, it'd feel like a little bit of Kobe Bryant overkill. Still, with a belief that 2K would like to close the classic team announcements with a popular team bang, I worry.
Ideally, I'd love to see the 2002 (or 2003) New Jersey Nets or 2007 Golden State Warriors make the cut. Those would be two awesome options, with the '07 Warriors serving as a nice retro tip of the cap to the current NBA Champions.
Also, the 2002 Kings would be nice to have back but that seems doubtful with them already having been in then subsequently pulled.
