The Franchise Man: Imagining the Possibilities of a Magic/Bird Cover

[RaychelSnr]

When I first heard Michael Jordan was going to be gracing the cover of NBA 2K11, my heart jumped. My favorite player of all time was back.

The reason I love basketball was returning to where I live out my dreams on the digital hardwood. I didn’t have to create him again this year like so many times before. NBA 2K11 was bringing me and every other basketball fanatic something that could not be topped.

This happened once before in NBA Live 2000. Jordan was in the game and could be used if unlocked through a one-on-one game. I got my MJ that year with the help of legend Dr. J who sunk a ton of 3s to beat Michael and unlock him for me (yes I know, it’s weird to unlock Jordan via 3-pointers from Julius Erving).

Obviously, it’s a different case this year and an unprecedented one. NBA 2K11 is giving us the ultimate Jordan dream. We get 10 Bulls teams, and we get all of the teams Jordan tormented to play with right out of the box.

Guys, we don't do that first and second crap.

Excellent writeup. Good read. I'm as excited as the next guy about Jordan, but Magic/Bird would be crazy too.

On topic, not sure 2K will follow this path next year. I'm sure they'll come up with something big, but I don't think it'll be like that.

I still can’t believe this is true. I seriously don’t even care about the gameplay now as long as I don’t have to create 200 historical players for classic teams like I usually do.

Thankfully, 2K is smart enough to focus on the gameplay even with all the buzz around that classic teams. The day 2K doesn't care about gameplay will be their last year as the leader.

Man this would be sick. Another first day buy in my eyes if this was to become reality.

That would be great.
