LaPhonso Ellis Added to NBA 2K12 'Greatest' Mode

[ChaseB]

All right so it might not be Charles Barkley, Iverson or Reggie Miller, but it's still yet another player being added to the NBA 2K12 NBA's Greatest mode.

Ronnie 2K, one of the marketing maestros over at 2K Sports, told everybody via Twitter that LaPhonso Ellis is now going to be a part of the '93-'94 Nuggets squad that infamously took out the Seattle SuperSonics in the one versus eight matchup in the first round of the NBA playoffs back in 1994. (Who doesn't remember Dikembe sprawled out on the court at the end of that series?)

It's rather unique to see players still being added to a game at this stage, but it might just be the nature of the beast when it comes to negotiating with individual athletes.

That name sure brings back memories. I remember watching his East St. Louis high school team (Lincoln) win back-to-back state titles in the late 1980s. Those Lincoln teams were ferocious.

if i'm not mistaken this would be a rookie Ellis, correct?

I was surprised to see that he was left off when they revealed the roster. Can't wait to play with that squad.

Second year I think. I believe LaPhonso was drafted top 5 in '92.

LaPhonso was even mentioned on "The Secret World of Alex Mack" as a former student at Danielle Atron Junior High School.

Nice! A big addition as he was their second leading scorer that year!

Hoping Van Exel similarily signs on! That would be great!
