    I've been studying jumpshots as thoroughly as I can afford to be. I'm even keeping track of all the footage I use for analysis. I've bookmarked hundreds of youtube videos, as well as making gifs for many many players. Here are some for examples (gfycat links)


    Elgin Baylor
    Jerry Lucas
    Pual Arizin
    Rick Barry
    Hal Greer
    Willie Nauls
    Guy Rodgers
    Gus Johnson
    Chet Walker
    Dave Debusschere
    Dolph Schayes
    Bill Russell
    Bob Pettit

    That's all I share for now, much more to come later
    I'm intrigued. By mid-February release do you mean via 2K roster? Or another form of sharing the information?

      As far as I can tell, the Drexler / Wilkins jumper is gone. I’m trying to find something that looks close but it’s tough. I don’t get why something like that was removed.

        I always felt the Drexler shot in 2K had far too much of a leg kick or whatever to really look like his shot anyways.

          I've been using, I believe, base 77 for Drexler and Nique. Gives them decent lift now that base 8 has turned into a set shot

            I'll give that a try man. Thanks for sharing.

              Whipped together a 2003 Rockets team and it's been fun (shout out to Sellaz and Tgor, as always).

                You've been busy!! Love your work, brother!

                I'm still yet to start work on my classic rosters. I've been waiting for the slow trickle of additional players to be added back to the game before I start the long road ahead. The prospect is daunting but I'm looking forward to it, none the less.

                Question - With 'new' legends that are added to the game (Bosh/Terry etc etc) can I save their player DNA and import them into one of my own edited rosters?

                  Yes you can. I’ve added each of those guys well after the fact. It’s wonderful.

                    A bit off topic but do any of you guys have Roster up on 2K Share? Would love to get my hands on any of them!

                      Fantastic! If that's the case, then I needn't hold off on starting my work any longer.

                      Thanks.

                          1998 Pacers coming through. My only regret is not shaving everyone's head for the playoffs.

                            Thought this would be the best place to ask. But is 2k20 as bad as i am hearing ? I only ask because i see this thread heavy on retro basketball and peaks my interest.

                            I am very deep into 2k19 and with suck great retro sets to keep me busy. But seeing new teams a players has me thinking maybe on 2k20.

                              For my 2K preferences (classic teams, player vs. CPU, MyLeague, editing) NBA 2K20 is easily among my top three 2K's of all-time.

                              The gameplay, though not perfect, is the biggest improvement to me between 2K19 and 2K20. For the sake of brevity, I'll say that too often in 2K19 I didn't feel at all rewarded for smart and logical basketball plays, particularly from an offensive standpoint. I'd get a defender leaning and try to take advantage of a gap only for magic suction cup recovery to stop me in my tracks. 2K20 pretty much eliminated the worst of those issues.

                              Now, it's basically the best of both worlds for me. The gameplay feels a lot more like real basketball and their classic roster folks have been making some seriously underrated strides in shoring up retro teams (signature dribbles, jersey inclusion, improved legends, signature dunk packages, improved lighting, etc).

                                Vince revving 'em up.





                                One small issue with New Jersey Vince... someone seems to have forgotten to finish shading the top of his head (that's not a reflection). Pretty noticeable during gameplay.



                                Lastly, thought this was a nice shot of Jason Kidd.
