I figure thats what keeps alot of these former players from letting them use their likeness in the game.

It also has to do with them not caring about being in a video game, especially when they did not grow up playing them, I think there is bad blood with 2k and Miller which may stem back from when his sister was in the game.

I'm surprised NBA 2K could pay that off in their sleep

Well Reggie and I are not all that far off in age, but yeah some people just dont care to play video games. If it wasnt for NBA2k, or MLBTS, I wouldnt even have a console myself


I hadnt ever heard of any bad blood between Reggie's sister and NBA2k, but there may be something to it. Maybe some former players feel with no more than they are offered for their likeness its not worth letting someone use it to make millions of dollars. I have no idea how they go about paying former players, I always assumed they gave a standard rate to all of them, but maybe not, maybe some players get more than others, and some former players feel slighted. We know they all have ego's, some more than others, but they all got one,lol

Barkley and Miller are not apart of the Player's Association so they're likeness cannot be used in the game. Simple as that.

Officially, Miller is not on record as to why he won't do it.

Barkley is my all-time favorite player...KG&SPREE...DWADE is my today favorite. Anyway, Barkley need to chill...I won't lie. If he gets in that will be THE 2K that I hold in high regard. Its hilarious how JORDAN is THE guy but Barkley is the ONLY guy people stress on these games. Don't get me wrong, it was MJ before he got in the game.

Not on record...I didn't mean to imply that I knew anything differently. I have yet to find a quote or article by Miller regarding the subject. I almost want to say that he doesn't even mention NBA 2K in passing.
