Not surprised but it's still pathetic that 2K has shown an unwillingness to support and give back to the retired players considering the ridiculous amount of money they're making.

Barkleys cause is noble, but 2K is also cool to pass. Barkley honestly isn't any more valuable than any other legend in the game not named Jordan. I'd like him. But at the end of the day it's a business. I never understood why Chuck doesn't just donate whatever he'd receive to the retired players. Something is better than nothing and it'll add up over the years.

Every current Legend that's in 2k is being compensated by them. They don't owe anything more to the retired players union. Unless that payment would give them access to the rights of all other retirees that makes zero sense. 2k would make that donation and still have to negotiate individually with each legend. Barkley should call out Silver and tell him to donate a bigger part of the NBA's haul from 2k to the retired players.

Definitely agree with you. It just seems like it could benefit everyone involved. The retired players association gets extra money to take care of players, we get one of the biggest superstars we've been missing from the game and potentially others, and 2K could get pretty good press after the micro-transaction drama. Either way it's not the end of the world if we can't get Chuck.

Besides Barkley, Wallace, and Miller, who are some of the bigger missing stars?

EDIT: I'm only asking, because I've been using the All-Time Pacers in PNO. Personally, no Miller hasn't dampered my experience using the team.

After Moses Malone died, 2k lost his rights.


Also Tayshaun Prince, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom, Glenn Robinson, Hedo Turkoglu, Josh Howard, and a few other notables I can't think of.

Wonder how this works and if 2k can do anything to get him back? There are other players in the game who have deceased. Wilt for example.

I will never understand the infatuation with people considering Reggie Miller a “legend”.
