Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

that beard better be in the game! i don't recall where i heard this but i think its in one of the Knicks broadcast where Frazier said that they used to call him "shoulders" and you can see why.

man i would rather play as the 72' Knicks vs Wilts team...

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

I dont think this will be an option, but I think it would be cool if we had the option of what presentation type we want, so for todays teams we can use the black and white picture.

Re: NBA 2K12: Legends Announced

I thought that was a year he had a fro?.. could be wrong. I always think about that year with Kobe because that's the year he and Jordan went back in forth in the Allstar game. It will be nice to play with high flying version of Kobe.

Yep. Kobe had a fro in 1998

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

The greedy part of me is hoping some key retro jerseys were added that'd at least open up more retro opportunities in terms of creating our own classic squads. Of course, if none of the retros have changed (80's Sonics uni's or '93 Suns jerseys) I'm still blown away and crazy impressed and satisfied and all of that. I'm just saying, in lieu of a lack of Chuck, offering that era's jerseys would be a great workaround.

Regardless of any players who may have been left out for whatever reasons, the fact that 2K went and dropped at least 50 legends (along with their supporting casts) is one of the craziest moves in sports game history.

I'm with you on that one. The 96 Sonics and The 98 Jazz again? No disrespect, they were great teams, but I was hoping of one of their more younger and great teams wearing these jerseys:





I hope the classic teams include their respective warmups. The short sleeved warmups from the Celtics, Lakers, Hawks and Pistons were awesome.

Lmao those pics of Phil are hilarious. If that's how he looks ingame, I won't be able to take him seriously.

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

and if the 2K dev team have this as a pre-game ritual whenever Magic's Lakers play Isiah's Pistons...I'm done

Man, believe me you will. He was like the Kurt Rambis of that team. Blue color type of player, setting picks, taking hits, crashing the boards, hustling...throwing elbows (ala Billy Cartwright, not in a bad way )

I only know Kurt Rambis' name because he coached the TWolves and the only thing I know about Cartwright is that he has some kind of weird FT shot or something like that. Sorry guys, I'm kinda young!
But from that description, he sounds like a Udonis Haslem or Joel Anthony type of player.

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

HOLY...F'IN....S**T, BATMAN! This gonna be the greatest game ever. I almost cried im so happy that SOOOOOO many LEGENDS are gonna be in this game. I...LOVE...LEGENDS (to see how much, go to the 2K Share and search Roster of Sparco3t. Greatest Legend roster of all time) Anyways, enough with the plug...........Just think:

*90-91
Lakers: same team from NBA 2K11

Spurs: rookie Tim Duncan, Aging Admiral (hope they still make him look like a statue)

*95-96
Bulls: same team as NBA 2K11. (some say best team ever...muhh)

Bucks: aging Big O and Lew Alcindor in second year...SWEET!!!(please have better looking Sky-Hooks!)
Lakers: Jerry West's basketball apex, Wilt basically averaging 20/20

*93-94
Rockets: Hakeem Olajuwon at his basketball apex...thats the only argument i need!
Nuggets: young, athletic team with Mount Mutumbo at his peak.

Lakers: Elgin on the downside of his peak years, and "The Logo" on the upside of his.

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

Was Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (spelling?)previously known as Chris Jackson on that Nuggets team also? If so that is awesome. That guy could shoot the lights out..
