They could use Clyde drexler for jabs

This seems like a cool mode, like both for vets and newbies, like there are some moves in the people who have being playing 2K11 everyday that they may not know how to do, seems cool to me

I like the new ring around the player to indicate their jump-shot ability

Not to excited about this but I know i will use it at some point and will finish all of it to see what the surprise is for doing it. Most likely a classic team I'm guessing.

so your not one to learn the entire game from post moves to playbooks?

This would definitely be my first mode I go into when I get the game. Here are my predictions for the mentors. I am assuming the mentors will come from the legends list and they don't change but you never know. Jump Shots –(Jordan). They already said it. Kind of suprised at this thinking it would be Bird here but Jordan probably could do any type of jumpshot needed so I understand why Jordan is here. Layups and Dunks – I am going Julius Erving here as they could have put Jordan here too but Doc comes up next IMO if they didn't want to put Jordan here again. Triple Threat – This could be Jordan again sounds like a repeat but I don't see another legend you could put here above him here that uses these moves. Dribble Moves - Magic Johnson makes the most sense Post Offense – Hakeem Olajuwon is the first name I think of when I think of post offense second person I think of is Mchale. Post Defense – Bill Russell has to be here no ifs ands or buts about it. Off-Ball Offense - To be honest when I see this I think Reggie Miller but I think they have to put Bird here he has to be somewhere else if he is not. On-Ball Defense – Scottie Pippen pretty simple one here, could be Jordan as well. Passing and Offense –Magic in my eyes again could be Stockton as well but Magic is the cover man

Nice list indeed. I'm guessing that only the 15 official "Legends" will be used as mentors, and no legend will be used more than once.

If I'm right, it'll probably look something like this:

Jump Shots = Jordan
Layups & Dunks = Dr. J
Triple Threat = The Big O, Oscar Robertson
Dribble Moves = Isiah Thomas
Post-Offense = Hakeem
Post-Defense = Bill Russell (Great call there. I might have guessed Ewing)
Off-Ball Offense = Bird
On-Ball Defense = Scottie Pippen (no question here)
Passing & Offense = Magic
