Can someone please start up a petition for Charles Barkley to be in nba 2k18

[SirGaryColeman]

Until then... we always got these :

But I do recall Barkley saying that the other reason why he will not allow 2k to use his likeness is because of how the nba treats retired players from a healthcare perspective and earlier this year the nba players union decided to fund healthcare for retirees starting in 2017. I know its late but its better to be late than never. On the other hand its like what everyone has stated its up to Barkley.

Yeah it probably is a bit more complicated but it really doesn't have to be does it?. I'm pretty sure there are fans of his that would love to play with him and his teams from a virtual perspective.

do you think the fund for healthcare that the retired players will receive starting in January will soften the blow a little bit or nah?

I remember someone posting a clip of Barkley also saying that 2K wasn't paying enough, or something to that effect. I doubt we'll see him or one of his teams in game anytime soon.

Someone should tweet it while they on TNT next time. I would love to see his expression/answer. Or has he already responded on the show before. I don't recall.

Certain players weren't in the game, but if you put their name in the Create a Player - it would auto-generate them to look just like em: http://www.nba-live.com/wayback-wedn...-live-96-snes/ :

You mean build their likeness into the create a player engine?? They would get a lawsuit on their heads instantly. Just like NCAA make players look like they real players but used different names.

Of course you hope they will pay enough, but if they don't pay him what he wants there's not much we can do. He may be asking for something unrealistic

I have been watching (or should I say waiting) for Barkley to finally go ahead and swallow a bit of that enormous ego & pride and c'mon over to the darkside.

Him and my favorite college player of all-time!!! (Chris Webber)

I can remember when Kareem was stubborn about it too until recently.

I mean MyTeam is cool to get them cards, but I'm not too much into MyTeam (just online head2head/league and TeamUp)
