    Charles Barkley on why he isn't in 2K18

    It was translated in french so I will translate it again in english (maybe it was already posted in this case just lock it, thanks)

    « Ce que je leur ai dit, c’est que je ne pense pas que nous, en tant que joueurs, nous avons fait assez pour les anciens. Je leur ai dit : ‘Si vous voulez utiliser mon image, vous allez devoir donner de l’argent à l’association des anciens joueurs.’ Je ne veux pas un centime. J’ai eu la chance de gagner beaucoup d’argent mais les gars qui sont passés avant nous n’en ont pas gagné beaucoup. Il y a beaucoup d’anciens qui sont en difficulté financièrement et ont des soucis physiques, donc je leur ai dit ‘vous ne pouvez pas utiliser mon image à moins de donner de l’argent aux joueurs retraités.’ Ce qui serait juste selon moi, c’est s’ils donnaient un millions de dollars à l’association des joueurs, que cela aille pour une bonne cause, pour une assurance maladie ou ce genre de chose, de l’argent qui les aiderait. Dans ce cas je les laisserais utiliser mon image sur le champ. »
    « If you want to use my likeness in the game you will have to give money to the retired NBA players association. I don't want a cent. I was lucky enough to win a lot of money but some of the older guys didn't win as much or a lot. There are a lot of old retired players who are in tough financial situations with health issues so I told 2K they can't use my likeness unless you give thoses people money. What would be fair in my opinion is that they'd give a million to the association for insurances and stuff like that, something that would help them. In this case I would give them my authorization to use my likeness in the game. »

    is Charles Barkley in the game worth a million dollars? Probably not. Doesn't look like he will ever be in the game unless they can negotiate something.

      It would be a good cause considering Barkley's reasoning and the amount of dollars NBA2k is likely bringing after all their expenses.

        Seen this posted a lot lately. Is it fair to pay a million dollars for him and not pay 1 million dollars for other players ?

          He should be asking the NBA to do that.

          Matter of fact they just upped the money in the new CBA

          Not sure what Barkley's issue is but at this point, give me a great CAP and i'll make him myself.

            To be fair, he's not asking for any money for himself, he's asking for it to be donated to the boneheads who burned through all their money earlier in their lives and are now going broke

              Oh I know : regardless it still could be seen as 2k paying a million dollars for him in the eyes of other players and in terms of business .

                He has mentioned it on Inside The NBA many times that 2K gives money to retired players fund (2mil) to join. 2K will never do it nor they should. As much as I would like to see Chuck in the game, it's not worth it for 2K to spend 2 mil on one guy. Only MJ is worth that because he will sell games. People who play 2K will play it with or without Chuck

                  Yeah. I also think that if he really wants to help thoses guys he should negociate his likeness (something reasonnable) and give himself that money to the association. It won't be a million that's for sure but that's still something that could help some of them.

                    Why would Barkley need to pay the money himself for the retired players? When it comes down to it it's 2k who wants to do business with him in getting his likeness and others in the game so they should be the ones to do it.

                    There's absolutely no way 1 million dollars is an issue for them.

                      I just meant he would negociate his likeness with 2K and give that money to the retired players. 2K money is basically free money he could get to help thoses guys. Even if that's 100K or whatever 2K would pay for Barkley it could still help some of them. Seems more reasonable than saying 1mil or gtfo (especially when you know you're never getting that) when there are actual people in needs you want to help.

                        Ok so they pay the million. What's Reggie's deal? Does he need a million? 2k has done a fine job of gathering great players to be in the game.

                          Yeah. They're in the business of handing out millions like candy...

                          And it's not even 1 million. It's 1 million he wants every year. it's a stupid demand and frankly I don't want them to give in because next year 10 players will want more because Charles got more. Doesn't matter that it went to the union.

                          And I'm sorry, but I'm not slicing onions over ex millionaires that squandered their money. I can sympathize because many were not equipped to handle it properly but on my list of people that need help broke NBA players are not high on my list of charities.

                          Yes Chuck is free to demand whatever he wants and 2K is free to tell him to jump in a lake. I don't like the end result but I'm on 2Ks side on this 100%.

                            Barkley wants to see the old guys that didn't make **** taken care of. I respect it, & I'm happy to help. Give me the 93 Suns, 98 Pacers, 77 Blazers, the 75 Warriors, 83 76ers, & other great classic teams with guys they dont have the rights for. Make it a DLC with the proceeds going to the retired players association. I'll happily pay the players for their likeness

                              There's a guy on twitter who has been giving info that has been legit. He posted about Kobe and KG being on the broadcast team yesterday and Steve just posted that info on twitter. This guy has been saying for weeks that Barkley isn't on any teams but will be in the game on with Ernie, Shaq and Kenny so I guess we'll see.
