NBA 2K Through the Years Video Montage (Shady00018)

Absolutely amazing!!! I've owned nearly every single one of those. Brought back a memory - I had 4+ seasons for NBA2k2 with the terriBulls. Had Curry and Chandler both as all-stars. They were rated in the 60's I think during the first season. Ahh - so much fun.

10 to 15 years from now I expect to see 2K takeover and have a game for just about every major sport

Man, time flies. I can remember playing 2K6 with the Warriors at my old job. It was the last game I actually managed to play an 82 game season. Also remember the hype on here around the 2K11 release with MJ. I love videos like these.

Thought: Someone should do a video like this, but include basketball games from the early years of games until now.

Some of you don't know the awesomeness that is 'Tecmo NBA Basketball' on consoles and 'Run and Gun' in the arcade.

Dude... Double Dribble.

Bulls vs. Blazers on the Super Nintendo and NBA Jam on the Sega Genesis were my first love.

No lie, but I was a EA sports fan from NBA Showdown '94 to NBA Live '09 until my friend introduced me to NBA 2K9.Then the first 2k I owned was 2k11 when the hype were unreal introducing Jordan to 2k. Ever since then I haven't look back since and probably never will.

I think I say this every time that title pops up, but I totally missed Double Dribble. As in, I didn't play it. My first was Magic Johnson's Fast Break followed by Tecmo NBA Basketball.

That title music:

Does anyone remember TV Sports basketball on the Amiga computer in the late '80s. It had great presentation for its time.

I'd never heard. Is this a sequel? Or is this the one? If it's the one, really not too shabby for late 80's.

^^ I used to play it on the PC and it was my favorite game back then (early 90's). At some point I crated full rosters for the 1992-93 season. This game actually had some sort of momentum (especially when you pulled up for a jump-shot), which was something else back then. Also, I think it had the best dunking animations back then.

Ah yes, thought it had more of an early 90's feel. Not bad. Sounded like someone in the audio booth was playing around with these the whole time though:

Man, this takes me back.

I first started off with 2K5. I can still remember the exact moment I bought it at Best Buy the day after Christmas. Me and my friends had tournaments for days on that game. Can't forget that T-Mac and Yao Rockets team or Ben Wallace swatting shots among so many other things. Good times.

Still remember the exact day I walked through a freezing cold winter night to EB Games to go get 2K6. That was the first year of the shot stick and coincidentally the first year that Live started to go downhill.

When I finally got my 360, the first game I had to have was 2K7. At the time I thought that was one of the best looking games ever and the signature styles with things like Steve Nash licking his fingers as he brought the ball up the court was just the coolest thing ever. It was hilarious seeing clips of that game in this video seeing how much its aged now. Just look at Tony Parker.

2K8 was pretty dope but I remember it having some issues, mainly all those damn backdoor cuts. That game took some getting used to.

2K9 was the first one I remember really not liking. I think I ended up getting rid of it before Christmas, which was a first for me.

2K10 I honestly can't remember too much of off the top of my head. It was an improvement over 2K9, I know that much, but it was just a baby step compared to what was coming next.

2K11 was a legen--wait for it....DARY game. I'll never forget the good vibes around here pre-release and when the game finally released. Lets just say it was a rare sight for OS lol.

2K12-14 was a mixed bag. Good games and I had my fun with all of them but honestly I don't really feel like any of them stood out all that much from one another. Well, aside from 2K14's jump to next-gen obviously.

And now here we are, 10 years later for me in my 2K playing career. I haven't gotten too deep into 2K15 yet but from what I've played so far I'm very happy. And knowing what's brewing behind the scenes with all the great people they've hired recently has me feeling like I'll be back here in another 10 years having had a ton more great memories and classic games under my belt. Can't wait.
