I don't think its possible to have era specific shorts....if it were then the old school players should be rockin them in that pic. Maybe next year? It's nice to see that the old school players got some love though....

Shaq looks dope. Surely this confirms 2K are gonna run with duplicates or players right? Cause Kareem and Wilt aren't getting left of the Sixers/Bucks to make up numbers on a Lakers all time team. Would have rather it only be singles

Nice! Hopefully we can edit the short length for each player, or at least for the team.

Re: NBA 2K18 Screenshot - All-Time Lakers

Seeing Magic and Kareem and Wilt in long shorts like that is just such an eye sore.

Since the All-Time teams are such a suspension of belief anyway, I understand why those guys have the same shorts length as everyone else. But I agree theoretically. It'd have been cool to see each player in their complete prime appearance (proper shorts length, Magic's blue knee pads, etc).

The other day someone suggested that each player should be wearing their real jersey for their all-time team. I think that would have been pretty awesome. But I suppose it also could have posed issues for the teams who've changed color schemes over the years (one Laker wearing baby blue while everyone else wore purple wouldn't work).

Don't know what y'all seeing Shaq looks terrible

I think the angle of the photo (from floor level looking upward) makes him look pretty dopey; way dopier than usual anyway. But I think the takeaway is that his body shape and face look like they've received some much needed attention, giving hope that he might not look like a pear anymore. I'd be interested in seeing a more standard photo of his face.

Pretty good. But Kareem needs to be slimmer, and I'm not sure about his face, might need some hair. Overall looks nice, but where are the rest of them? And shorts...? I think each player needs shorts for the ear they played in. Also, nice low Adidas for Kareem! Nice touch.

Edit: This is what Kareem should be like -

Don't think it'll matter much, it's a fantasy team.

You could always check to see if you can trade guys like Magic though for the other Magic on one of the classic teams to at least fix some of that.

That Shaq looks amazing!

One, I'm a little upset that Wilt is on the Lakers. He played only 5 seasons with LA and he only had one truly elite Wilt-like year with them. He should be on the Warriors where he had that crazy 50/25 year. All will be forgiven if there is a younger looking version of him, with the pencil mustache and low caesar from the "100" picture on the warriors.

I'd also love to see a younger, more athletic looking Shaq on the Magic, and possibly a washed, heavier version on the Heat.

I think it's a pretty safe bet that a number of players are going to pop up on multiple All-Time teams. Elsewise it'd really throw the whole idea out of wack. You can't have an all-time Lakers team without Shaq. You also can't have an all-time Magic team without Shaq.

As you said, the hope is that each version reflects their proper appearance at the time they were on that club.

Pau is a Laker great???

If each roster goes 15 deep (as confirmed by 2K), I think Gasol could make a case, particularly if 2K struggled to secure any of the "extra" greats like George Mikan, Jamaal Wilkes, etc.

Three all-star appearances as a Laker and two championships that would not have been possible without his acquisition. Averaged 19 and 9 on 60 percent shooting in the 2009 Finals. Pretty good. Prettyyyy, prettyyyy, pretty good.

Re: NBA 2K18 Screenshot - All-Time Lakers

Weird that I'm noticing more imperfections. Like I know for a fact Shaq's hands are much bigger than that.

No Cooper? No West?

Leads me to believe that one of the Kobe/Gasol teams will be included as a classic team.

Re: NBA 2K18 Screenshot - All-Time Lakers

Shaq looks so much better

I'm guessing it's not possible for 2k to give each individual player different sized shorts. But if they all have to wear the same sized shorts, they should at least give em the 90s shorts that are in 2k17. It's a nice balance of short but not too short, baggy but not too baggy. It's gonna be tough to play with magic or Stockton wearing ginormous shorts.

Re: NBA 2K18 Screenshot - All-Time Lakers

Was hoping they'd have everyone wearing the jerseys from their eras but it's all good.

My prediction:

Magic
Kobe
Balor
Kareem
Wilt

Gasol
Shaq
Worthy
Odom
Van Exel
West
Jones
Cooper
Goodrich
Mikan

Re: NBA 2K18 Screenshot - All-Time Lakers

Awesome! Kareem is back, Shaq looks better and Wilt is there (you never know, 2k could lose the rights to certain players any moment). Hope they didn't just touch up Shaq. The shoes are a very nice touch, very specific with Magic wearing Converse, Kareem the old Adidas, Wilt the old Converse..Kobe with 24, I thought he wore 8 in his prime Pau is not necessarily an All-Timer, but good enough I guess.
