"Zone defense is impractical in the NBA and thus should never be used as a core defensive strategy"

True in real life,but In previous 2k games zone had its disadvantages and sometimes youll pay the price playing zone cause people that ran those plays would be able to break it down, but zone is crazy this year in game against other online players. Im a sim type of player running my plays to catch the corner and shoot threes to take advantage and break down the zone, but even that is really hard cause defensive players are able to pick up on the guy quick and trap you, and im also seeing this as an exploit in online games since more people are catching on.

I agree with steve on winning a championship without a main start. If you have a really good well balanced team you can make it a long way, including winning a championship.

FACT, that you can't win the chip without a star!

I'm playing with CHA and we couldnt do anything with MIA! Good read though!

Great big men: Extinct?

Traditional big men truly are no longer necessary to win consistently in the NBA.

FACT; The NBA All-Star Ballot will no longer have a C position listed.

Billups was definitely a star, we all didnt know it until after that series

Ben Wallace was star for a couple years

Richard Hamilton..eh, not really a star, but one of the best role players ever during that run

Sheed was an animal (not a star though)

Prince was the best wing defender in the league at the time.

I was just saying with me using CHA in my Association, I wasnt gonna beat MIA with scrubbs! I needed some fire power! (I did get it too, with no cheese)
