does anyone know the real reason Reggie Miller doesn't want to be part of 2K

That's first time reading that about Miller confirming why via Instagram. Interesting.

So this whole time, it was about the money??? Well...it is what it is. I don't know what he's expecting from a compensation standpoint. Now, he's getting to the point where most basketball gamers, minus the old heads, won't care as much. I still care as a long-time Pacers fan, but other and arguably better stars (JO, Granger, PG, VO) has came after him, so it's an easy pill to swallow.

Barkley doesn't bother me as much, because he's trying to pass the money to another group. Miller is just being greedy.

Afaik its the same reason as with Barkley. 2k refuses to give money to the nba player retirement association or whatever its called.

I'd argue, in any facet, does Reggie miller need more money? He probably gets millions already working for TNT. Man, in an alternative universe, I'd be a superstar, and I'd justa think it'd be the sweetest thing being on a video game, I'd want my kids to be able to see me on their video games!

The way I read the story, Miller is wanting to be compensated for his likeness. It's not secret that Barkley has been for NBA Player retirement associate for years.

It was always about money for both of these guys. Can't call them greedy just because you want to use them on a game.

What I meant is that Miller wants the money for himself. Barkley wants the money to go to a specific organization. To me, there's a difference. Barkley is trying to help other retired players like himself which I think is kinda noble, while Miller is full of himself. Miller was a great player for Indiana, but let's be real...he was no elite talent.

In my mind, if 2K Sports pay the NBA Retirement Association, I think that opens the door where 2K Sports can negotiate a "licensing" fee as long as the NBAPA is consistent with having players become part of the association after retirement. At the moment, 2K Sports would has to strike individual deals for the likeness of Miller, Sheed, Barkley, etc.
