So now we can attempt to do this for the first time since Lakers vs Celtics

BTW, Eaton>>>>>>>Bradley and Muresan. Eaton's skill was he was a shot blocker and defensive force. Bradley's skill was he knew how to fall properly without injuring himself after getting dunked on. Muresan was a glorified circus side show act with a face that looked like a melted candle.

That is one of KJ's best dunks in his career. For me it ranks alongside the dunk over Hot Rod Williams he made back in the 1992 season. The one over Hakeen is awesome too but I like the whole happening of this dunk more:

One of the big things I've always remembered about Gheorghe Muresan came from a Sports Illustrated article I read about him wayyy back in the day. I kept the issue for the longest time (with Mo Vaughn on the front). There's a picture of Muresan holding a coke can between his pointer finger and thumb, the way we might hold a wallet-sized senior picture. Amazing.

It's on page 108/109 of the link below (the article has "GIANT" written recognizably large in the thumbnails):

P.S. Comparing Muresan's face to that of a melted candle is genius.

Man awesome stuff, It's great to dive into the pages of a good ol' SI

800 Microsoft points = fail.
Cell shading = massive fail.
Inability to use in other modes = colossal fail.
This idea = failure of Biblical proportions.

Mark Eaton, damn, lol I remember that guy use to get dunked on all the time.

well that's because he used to contest every shot

Eaton was a shot blocker back in his day...one thing i loved about him was he knew his ability and he what his job required

He took hard fouls inside and nothing was easy with Eaton

So yes he got posterized but he also rejected a lot of shots....guy was a defensive standout and if i'm not mistaken he won a few All Defensive team awards

He was much better than that clown Shawn Bradley who i have no idea why he's on any Legends list

11 pages of around 80% negative comments.......maybe 2k should take a look at the response

Well I posted a link to this thread on ronnie 2k's twitter page. I may post it on his facebook page too and on NBA 2k fb page.

I'm betting Manute Bol's rights were tough to acquire. I think 2K would have loved to have his presence alongside Eaton, Muresan and Bradley. Once again I begin thinking how cool it'd be to run into them during season mode with a mid-90's roster. And I think that's their draw. It's not that they were legendarily skilled, obviously. But they're going to be fun and likely have a direct impact on a game of 3-on-3 or 2-on-2 (and I wish 5-on-5 as a part of their former teams).

Sometimes bringing characters of the game back can be just as fun as the legends. Like bringing back William Perry as a legend in an NFL game, or Bob Probert in an NHL game, or Mark Fydrich in an MLB game.

That's all good and nice, but many people would like the option to turn off the cell shading. I never played Crew, heck, I don't play online OR do My Player, but many others enjoyed it quite a bit, so what's the problem there? There's certainly a demand for it, both in the fanbase, and within 2K itself, they've said that they're still working on getting it right.

Calling people idiots simply for having contrary opinions is not the best way to get your point across.

After reading this entire thread, yet another reason I'm extremely happy to stick with 2K11...

Re: NBA 2K12 DLC Arrives This Holiday Season with 45 All-New Legends - Screens &amp; Teas

I'm thinking you guys know only what I know. But in case I missed something, is there any indication as to when this DLC will actually be released? What does "Holiday Season" mean? I'm guessing like, after November 25th. I can wait on the 3-on-3 and whatnot. I'm just anxious to get those transaction abilities unlocked.

haven't played 2k12 in 2 weeks...and at first I really liked the game, took my losses at first but won alot after, but with this NBA lock out, and not being able to use legends, I just lost interest...then I hear about this DLC that gave me hope, until my hopes were shot down with this NBA Street ****not only that, you still can't use the extra 45 legends they add on to the game...

This. It's bull**** that we can't use those 45 legends in other modes. Really, what were they thinking? With the lockout, it would of been nice to have more legends at least. They would of been great to make all-time rosters

Im shocked 2K would even do this to use. They KNOW that we want to be able to play with those players in other modes.Bad move by 2K....

Re: NBA 2K12 DLC Arrives This Holiday Season with 45 All-New Legends - Screens &amp; Teas

I'm not as down on the DLC as most. For 10 bucks it could be a decent change of pace. I dop not however understand why the newly added classic player won't be at least in the FA pool.
Maybe 2K is saving that for a 2nd DLC we don't know about. I doubt it but you never know.
