Now that I think about it more, 2k choosing the 2012-13 Heat over the 2005-06 Heat is a mistake. Anyone that still has 2K13/14 could still go back and use that team. I haven't used the '06 Heat team since 2k7/8.


Lol, I also think 2K has a problem with D-Wade. First they gave his Onyx card an average 93 rating which is way too low for his standards. Dude was the best in '09, putting up 30/5/7/49% with elite defense while carrying a team with 2 rookie starters and a rookie head coach to the playoffs. Imo, should've been the MVP but LBJ was a beast. And now have a past his prime version of him from '13 (put up 21/5/5/52%FG with great defense) even though everyone was asking for the '06 team.


Ahh *Hank Schrader voice*, it's all good either way. Go Heat!!!

At 40, all these 2000 era teams feel too new to me..lol. But then again, back in 1990 a team from 1975 was an oldie in my mind so I guess it's all about perspective. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Unfortunately, you are correct according to Ronnie's tweet.

07-08 Celtics were a good team, but are they and the 12-13 Heat really classic teams? I don't see how any of the players on the 12-13 Heat team being that much different from the players they are today...

If anything, the more recent the better, the older players look like cartoons since face/body scan wasnt around back then.

KG isn't really getting overpaid. When you just factor in his on-court production? Sure, even those he's still a good player when on the court. He provides leadership, jersey and ticket sales, excitement around the team, mentoring, etc.

He provides a lot more that adds up to that 8 million dollar salary.

I want that Magic with Nelson, Hedo, Lewis, and Dwight!!!

and before that, how the heck can I believe Warriors not in the game!

[LeBronistheKing]

I would like the I believe Warriors, Seven seconds or less Suns, 2006 Miami Heat, 2007 Spurs and 2007 Cleveland Cavaliers.

[eko718]

I would like the '00-'01 Bucks and '05-'06 Heat. I bet another Lakers team makes it in.

I'm pulling for:

2003 Nets
2003 Spurs
2005 Suns
2007 Warriors
