Wade, Durant, and Melo. And then Jordan says "I'm a free agent, who want to sign me?" Then they could announce, preorder 2K11 and get a Jordan Shoe code. Unlocking every pair of Jordans. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That would be sweet.

Good one man

Think about the first trailer for NBA 2K11 and the hype it will create. Again, this is just from a marketing standpoint, but 2K Basketball is already proven. It's a solid game and consumers know that. I happened to enjoy the last two years of Live, but when you consider the games past struggles to compete with 2K, changing the name to Elite and claiming a new game engine is going to offer very little in comparison to MJ.

No doubt this will spurn many more sales considering that people will be looking at both basketball games and when they see MJ on the cover and information on the back of the box that he is playable..............poor Elite. Now let's hope that animations have that less robotic feel to match the greatness of MJ on the cover of the game.

I really hope 2K considers Matt for a trailer.
