Dr.J was the NBA's first superstar who trancended color lines into other areas outside of just basketball. Of course you had All-Time great NBA players before him, but it was Dr.J who got the ball rolling in terms of superstar players.

He came into the NBA at 25 and left the game as the greatest SF in NBA history, eventually we had Bird come through to knock him out of that spot. Im not sure what more anyone expected more out of him as an All-Time great, he has a NBA Championship, and led his team to 3 NBA Finals.

I didnt get to see him play but I can respect his contributions to the league as being an All-Time great.

People tend to underrate him because he played for the 76ers, who have historically been abysmal ever since Erving, Moses, & just as importantly Pat Williams left.

Because you know how sometimes games like NBA Street just has the legends and that's it? I think this article is saying that's not the case. Having totally full classic rosters through and through with no players missing seems really unlikely but again, it'd be cool if I were wrong.

This but more filled out than last year depending on the team.

One, it's awesome to see the '94 Rockets represented (Hakeem Olajuwon, Kenny Smith, Vernon Maxwell and Otis Thorpe all spotted, as others have mentioned). And second, it's cool to see 2K didn't just leave the 2K11 classic rosters as they were. For instance, I saw a real Kevin Duckworth this time around.

GREAT Eye ! They went as far as they could with the classics if someone is not in it is not a lack of effort why there not in !

Of course I have lol... But I am on a tight leash. For now, I'm just trying to help the family keep perspective and not get too crazy ( you know how we get ) and not get in trouble at the same time.

kudos to 2k for topping last year's game....i didn't think they had it in them. 2k12's challenge tops last year's (and i LOVE jordan). why can't other sports games (madden) be this innovative? i wasn't planning on getting 2k12, but now i HAVE to....also, it looks like they actually listened to fan's suggestions about magic and bird. now if they could just do a "dream team" edition (with past olympic teams), that would be remarkable....
