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. »Last edited by Vni; 08-26-2017, 05:12 PM.Tags: None -

Re: Charles Barkley on why he isn't in 2K18
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 ?#1 Laker fan

Re: Charles Barkley on why he isn't in 2K18
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 brokeComment

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 .#1 Laker fan

Re: Charles Barkley on why he isn't in 2K18
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 ChuckHeyComment

Re: Charles Barkley on why he isn't in 2K18
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.Comment

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%.Last edited by Kstat; 08-26-2017, 06:58 PM.Comment

Re: Charles Barkley on why he isn't in 2K18
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 likenessComment

Re: Charles Barkley on why he isn't in 2K18
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.Comment
