For real. That'd be enough for me.

Somebody needs to ask him about this in one of those "Ask Charles" segments on TNT lol.

I really wish he would have been in the game! Arrrrgghhh

"Maybe" would have suffuced to offer him as well a huge portion, if not all, of a paid DLC ... anyways, they tried and it takes 2 to have an agreement ... so I move on.

Probably somewhere throwing Kobe Bryant into a scorer's table and owning him.



Anyway...here's to NBA 2K12 blowing up and having Kenny Smith talk about it--so much so that Charles caves in and signs to be on NBA 2K13.

This doesn't explain why he's not in the game. We all knew they tried to get Charles in and talks broke down at one point or another. 2K wasn't forgetting about him or just ignoring him. They offered him a contract and he declined.

I was hoping they'd tell us exactly what it was that made him turn them down. Barkley isn't a guy with a huge ego when it comes to comparing himself to other greats: he knows he's ringless and there are players better than him from his era. I don't think it was that. Him being in is free money, so I don't think it was that. Maybe he didn't like the situation they put his avatar in... last year obviously was losing to the Bulls in the Finals. This year? Playing second fiddle to Dr. J?

I wonder who gets dropped if Barkley and Reggie signed on? Will Pippen and Stockton's challenges become Jordan/Pippen and Malone/Stockton? Does Kareem's challenge become a Magic/KAJ challenge?
