Re: The '87 Lakers are the BEST team in the game
I do agree they very well could be. The bench is decent. I do have a curiousity question. As mentioned above, In 2k12 Kareem was rated an 86 or 87. ( I can check this) and he's a 96 or 97 in this version? I feel maybe, being near the end of his career, I thought this rating was a bit high, and that 86 or 87 was more plausible. I wonder if Kareem had any push for his final rating. 
On the other hand, look how good Kobe was late in his career? To be honest, as with most of you, we didn't have access to watch all their agmes like we can now, so I really have no idea how much of a beast Kareem was toward the end of his career. I guess if you go by stats, we know he was pretty awesome.
I've been playing with them in Play Now Online and oh boy. This team is probably better than all of the Bulls teams and I'll tell you why.
- Magic Johnson: His creates a mismatch for every single team in this game. Even guys like Gary Payton and Penny can't stop him. Just post him up and go to work. He has a 98 POST HOOK. 83 mid range jumper. 75 3pt jumper. 2K made him CRAZY good this year.
Kareem: The guy is an absolute monster on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. 7'2 with a 99 POST HOOK. Destroy the jordan bulls by eating up Luc Longley down low. And if they switch Rodman on Kareem, put Big Game James at PF and go to work against whoever is there. Kareem though is probably the most unstoppable player in this game once you've mastered the post game.
Michael Cooper: Lockdown defender that can lockdown any perimeter star. He also has an 82 3pt shot and 85 dunk plus runs the floor like a boss.
Byron Scott: 89 mid and 90 3pt shot. You can run him off of screens and if your opponent starts to double Magic or Kareem just kick it out to Byron or Coop for the open J.
As long as Magic or Kareem is on the floor, you will create a mismatch somewhere. Worthy is also a beast down in the low post and can eat against most SFs down there. This team is unbelievable. And if you run the Triangle with them....ohhhhhhh lord.....game over.
These classic teams are great this year. The Lakers, Bucks, and even '13 Heat are all teams equal or better than the Jordan Bulls so there's soooooo much variety to choose from online. Oh and DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE '08 CELTICS. KG is the MAN.
