It’s tough to peg when 2K Sports took off with its NBA 2K franchise. Everyone remembers 2K11 which became an instant classic. It touched on every NBA fan out there by adding historic teams through the ages, and of course the one and only Michael Jordan.

But that wasn’t the NBA 2K game that earned the highest grade from Operation Sports. That title belongs to NBA 2K7, just another title in the series, right? Wrong.

Do you still have this game on your shelf? Read on to find out why you should give it a go again for nostalgia purposes.

This is when 2k introduced signature styles. the most hype I've been on a game by far!

this is still my all time favorite from 2k basketball, I used to use the Hawks online because it was no fun using the really good teams, Zaza would always get schooled by the other teams big down low but it was always fun trying to get Josh Smith on the fast break or kicking it out to Josh Childress who I remember was deadly accurate from beyond the arc lol

Still pop this game in from time to time just to mess around with 24/7 next mode. This game was a huge leap in terms of gameplay and graphics from 2k6.

I mostly play older 2k's every September while waiting for the newest one to come out ...and 2k7 is always my favorite to go back and play...

I remember 2k7.... it's alright, but no full control (Which is making it's return again in next gen, imagine that?) is where these games lose me. I'm sorry I just need it, I think 2k10 is when full control came in, so that would get my vote.

I am still waiting for 2K7.5....all i want is upgrade graphics and cleanup the glitches and this game would have been perfect. All the things they put in since then like physics and animations slow down the game play and it wasn't fun anymore...at least for me. Unfortunately, the producers still head into that same direction due to the success of the game but it wasn't a success for me.

No love for 2K8? That's the first time I really remember being impressed by a next gen sports title in terms of gameplay.
