No Love For The 00-01 Sixers?

Personally I think they should be on the game at least as DLC. They had a great run despite losing in the Finals (4-1 to the Lakers). AI won MVP that year, McKie won 6th man, Mutumbo won Defensive Player of the Year, and Larry Brown Coach of the year. Hell atleast show some respect for AI and what he did for 2k.

though the 01-02 Kings were a better team, i think the 00-01 sixers would've been cooler man.
People of my generation were Allen Iverson fans, not really sixer fans

Yes. Iverson is one of my favorite players of the last decade. I understand there are a good amount of people that didn't like the guy, but his skill were unlike any other. A.I., T-Mac, Frobe, and Vince were the stars of the league for a good while. Now that these guys are nearing the end of there careers, it's hard to let go. Same goes for Tim Duncan, Shaq and KG.

Iverson and that Sixer team are held in high regards in the Philly/South Jersey area. You couldn't even wear Laker colors after that series. In fact, if you meet a Laker ***** in our area their is a 98% chance that 2001 was the reason they hate the Lakers, nothing else.

Don't forget about Geiger, Hill, Lynch, Nazr, Kukoc... man, I miss those Sixer teams. We hung our hat on defense and played hard every night. Pat Croche was the best owner ever.... now I'm over here takin' it back. Seem like yesterday I was listening close to WIP on a school night to keep track of the Sixers.

2K.... now we HAVE to have these Sixers in the game. In fact, I'll pay you $60 to get them in

If you have a 360. I will be putting the 01 sixers in the game in my annual superleague roster.

The Sixers did not deserve to be in the finals that year, the NBA wanted Iverson vs Kobe so they screwed the Bucks over that year.

Re: No Love For The 00-01 Sixers?

Well, the next time they do this legends thing, of course being a "new" feature.
They have to include Kobe, and the 01 sixers as his matchup team, it would be too sick not too

The game should definitely have AI if it's going for the classic approach, I mean the dude was on the cover of the first 4 or 5 games, show him some love..

you really think David Stern wanted Allen Iverson to succeed??? Do you really think the refs favored Iverson??

Iverson represented everything that David Stern hated. Corn rows, tattoos, and a person not afraid to speak his mind.

Re: No Love For The 00-01 Sixers?

Come on what? I actually watched the series, the Bucks were the best team in the East that year with a prime Ray Allen, the Sixers got all the calls, are you that naive to think the NBA/Refs does not have the power to decided who wins and loses, Come on Son. The NBA saw dollar signs with a Iverson/Kobe finals.

Re: No Love For The 00-01 Sixers?

If that was the case, why have we yet to see a Miami vs LA finals?

It was not about who David Stern liked or hated it was about which teams in the finals would make the most profit for the NBA, not personal business, plus the Sixers had no chance of beating the Lakers that year but they were a more exciting team to watch then the Bucks.
