I agree on the Ginobili front. I think those current Spurs are close enough to twilight for a "beginning of an era" squad to make sense, from either '03 or '05. I guess '05 would catch those guys more in their prime than '03 though (when Speedy Claxton basically took over the reigns from Parker in the clincher).

Also, really splitting hairs, but they currently have a '98 Spurs team but not '99. All the primary suspects are there though, just missing a few fellers like Steve Kerr, Mario Elie, and Antonio Daniels. I always go back & forth on which squad I prefer ('98 or '99) because while '99 were the champions, it's one more year removed from David Robinson's prime, and I prefer being as close to peak-of-his-powers David Robinson as I can get.

Ahh yes you are correct. I think it'd be redundant to have 98 and 99. I'd rather have the 03 or 05 team like you said.

Still wish they could get one of those Kings team as well. I'd prefer it will J-Dubb at point.

12 new teams is a crazy amount. Can't wait to find out the rest.

I hope it's not just 2000's teams but some teams I would like to see
'67 76ers
'09 Lakers
'07 Spurs or '03 or '05
'77 Trail Blazers
'04 Pistons
'09 Cavaliers
'06 Heat

also I really hope Kareem is back in the game this year

Yeah and i'd prefer the 2001 kings team and bring back c-webb. Hopefully the ice will eventually break between the two parties.

Would love to see 80s Nuggets with Alex English and David Thompson, King and the Knicks, Dantley and the Jazz...

Hoping for a Gilbert arenas wizards and or Brandon Roy Blazers. But i won't hold my breath.

Hope you like seeing Rick Barry with the WRONG free-throw animation.

(Why yes, that lack of an underhand free throw ever since 2K13 is a thorn in my side that I just can't calm down about. Why do you ask?)

there is nothing classic about those 2 teams.
