Maybe they could take the Celts but I think they would be top 10 easy.

We need a 2000s Kings team back. I don't even care if they can't get Webber. I'll make my own. Preferably I wanna see the 2001 squad before Jason Williams was traded to Memphis that summer.

Speaking of Memphis, that 2003-2004 team wasn't bad either. Be cool to see those guys.

Oh yeah can we please get a Sonics team that's wearing those classic jerseys everyone loves? The 96 version just doesn't do it for me.

I've always wondered how he'd fare in today's game. He'd be 6'11" in modern shoes, and LASIK would make him ditch the glasses...but he's been nowhere to be found since 2K12.

Shout out to Joliet, IL born n raised. Home of the great George Mikan!

I haven't played 2k in a couple of years...what's the deal w/ Webber? I loved using that Kings team on the XBox 360!

I hope they don't feel like they have to add full teams. They could potentially add an "All-50s" roster or something along those lines. A lot of those early guys are the reason the NBA is what it is today and it would be nice to honor them in a game.

Did i miss something...i could've sworn these teams were announced a month ago. This aint new news. I hope they're saving my 93' Suns with Sir Charles.

After the he was included with the 2002 Kings in 2K12, Webber and 2K did not come to agreement for his use in any further games. So a Webber-less 2002 Kings team was included in 2K13 before the team was eventually removed altogether.

I'm with Dutch on this one, it'd be nice to have that squad back, as making a realistic-looking Webber was actually pretty easy (same with Barkley on the classic Sixers team).

The 2000 Raptors, 2008 Celtics, and 2001 Lakers were mentioned off-hand in a video last month. However, they were never officially announced. So, as all 12 new classic teams are revealed leading up to release, three of them will be repeats.
