    Re: LaPhonso Ellis Added to NBA 2K12 'Greatest' Mode

    Nice on a random side note, LaPhonso Ellis's son came into the movie store I used to work at one night, and I told him I used to use his father on NBA Live 95 lol

      I love 2k sports games and have been a consumer since 2k1. I think that if 2k would implant the faces of celebrities from the celebrity mode onto a few of the crowd's faces in the front row for such games in MSG and staples center, I think that this simple upgrade would once again just add fuel to this game that's been on fire.

      I'm just saying, imagine Kobe saving a loose ball right before he jumps over Snoop Dog, Kanye West, or Drake in the front row. Nothing more realistic than that. When 2k rolls this out they will truly be on 1.

        Does this mean he's one of the now-16 legends, or does this just mean he's on the rosters?

          Just on the roster. He's nowhere near a legend.

            One can only assume he'd be one of the now-16 legends.

              How am I hating? Because I simply asked why is Ellis getting an annoucement? Ok.

                11.9 ppg 6.5 reb career averages, those definitely look like all-time-greatest stats, lol. He did have good a 96-97 season though with 21.9 ppg and 7.0 reb.

                  I'm actually really glad LaPhonso was added to the squad. He was a relatively big missing piece and a noticeable omission. In terms of his career, I have two of his highlights permanently burned into my brain. One is the block posted on page one, the other is his dunk at the 1:15 mark of the clip below. As a youngster, I always remembered him twirling around the rim two or three times. Instead he kind of almost makes a full turn. Still love it.

                    How was it "an announcement"? One of the developers tweeted it, they didn't hold a press conference.

                    He's a significant addition to that team and a fun video game player. You could give this guy Amar'e's (boy that looks ridiculous) dunk package and it would be appropriate.

                            Good to hear about LaPhonso. That guy had heart. No slight on Mutombo but Phonso was the heart of that time. It just didn't look like without him.

                              Wasn't Abdul Rauf AKA Chris Jackson the starting PG on that Nuggets team?

                              Man, they will be a fun team to use.
