Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

Has anyone made a list of all the legends that will be in the game? not just the 15 already announced. Like from all 30 teams. This will be a whole lot easier for people that want to make all-time teams. Cant wait for this.

Credit to a poster named SuperPippen at Inside Hoops. I haven't read through all very closely, but it's definitely a good start. It's a huge list (48 players long in fact) and doesn't even include regular all-stars like Sean Elliott or Larry Johnson:

Kareem ('71, '87)
Magic ('87, '91)
Worthy ('87, '91)
Bird ('86, '87)
Parish ('86, '87)
McHale ('86, '87)
DJ ('86, '87)
'Nique ('86)
Chamberlain ('71, '72)
West ('65, '71, '72)
Goodrich ('71, '72)
Baylor ('65, '71)
Maravich ('71)
Frazier ('72)
Reed ('72)
Lucas ('72)
Bradley ('72)
Pearl ('72)
DeBusschere ('72)
Dr. J ('85)
Moses ('85)
Ewing ('95)
Penny ('95)
Shaq ('95, '98)
Kobe ('98)
Drexler ('91)
Jordan ('89, '93, '96)
Pippen ('89, '93, '96)
Alonzo ('93)
Payton ('96)
Kemp ('96)
Mailman ('98)
Stockton ('98)

I'm just happy Mugsy is on the game but Iverson is one of the 15 greatest of all time imo, hopefully they'll add him nxt near

pretty pumped about the 71-72 Lakers and the 97-98 lakers

Really excited about this but just a little disappointed that the Suns with Barkley aren't in it

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

The greedy part of me is hoping some key retro jerseys were added that'd at least open up more retro opportunities in terms of creating our own classic squads. Of course, if none of the retros have changed (80's Sonics uni's or '93 Suns jerseys) I'm still blown away and crazy impressed and satisfied and all of that. I'm just saying, in lieu of a lack of Chuck, offering that era's jerseys would be a great workaround.

Regardless of any players who may have been left out for whatever reasons, the fact that 2K went and dropped at least 50 legends (along with their supporting casts) is one of the craziest moves in sports game history.

Thanks man. I appreciate it. Damn that's badass. Can't wait for 2k12 to come out. All-time rosters will be easier to create now.

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

84 bucks vs Dr.J......Rookie of the Year Terry Cummings straight out of Chicago should be fun, and Sidney Moncrief.

Edit: and that got the 93 Hornets with Larry Johnson aka "Grandmama" lol, and little Mugsy

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

Can't wait to roll with the '72 Knicks. Clyde, Pearl, Willis....and Phil Jackson.

Wait, Phil Jackson was on the team?

Re: NBA 2K12: Legends Announced

That has to be wrong, because that was Barkley's first year with the Sixers.

I'm a little disappointed that they chose to have Pippen and Malone/Stockton as separate legends, but it's understandable. Would have been nice to have Barkley's Suns and Reggie's Pacers, but oh well. Hopefully they finally throw in the mid-90s Suns and Pacers jerseys as a consolation.

No doubt. They could have used the Suns for Hakeem Challenge (year the rockets came back from 3-1 and Mario blew the kiss of death) and they could have used the Pacers for Patrick Ewing's challenge..Pippen challenge should have put him on the Blazers and had him play game 7 against LA all over again...Oh well. Appreciate 2k's effort.

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

I know that some people are a bit disappointed, but I love, love, love, that I don't have to chase any stats in any of these games. Having to hunt buckets with Mike last year, squashed my enjoyment of those games. Now I can just let every game play out in a natural fashion.

Yeah, much better setup this year. Looking forward to playing all the games. I hope we get accurate floors and arenas, too.

Looking at that legend list is amazing. An all-classic team Association will be going down, for sure.
