An NBA fan's dream when you look at it like that. So many incredible options.

Shout out to the Zang Auerbach logo in the upper left:

Beautiful to see all of them. Hopefully we can make even more ourselves with the huge pool of players available from the All time teams and create a team/rebrand. Hoping for some phenomenal rosters with accurate to the year jerseys. Really hoping that they allow us to edit shorts length, because that would make us able to create accurate classic teams.

You add in the All-Time squads, that's an incredible 92 different squads of NBA teams ...

Assuming a minimum of 13 players on every team, that's at least 1,196 players across those 92 squads. Of course, there will be duplicates, but that's still insane.

Those duplicates will likely be, at most, a third of those 1,196 ... that's only 398 duplicates, which leaves at least 798 distinct players across those 92 squads (operating under the assumption every team goes at least 13 deep - more players means more distinct players).

Utterly ridiculous. That 798 is well above the 450 distinct players on the current 30 NBA teams.

2K has outdone itself this year, at least as far as content goes. Bravo.

Wow they add the two Sixers teams that lost in finals appearances but not probably the best Sixers team ever that dominated the league in 82-83.

Could have been a video game on its own, and yet we have it as just some more goodies. With all the complaints I've had, this is an incredible list.

Crazy to think how many players, teams and historic content we are getting! This looks amazing the NEW logo is cool too. Would love the 04 Pistons main or alternate flaming horse logo though haha

I think that '83 Sixers team was a victim of circumstance when it came to their inclusion in 2K.

2K angled for the 1985 76ers team in 2K12 because I think they thought an Erving-Malone-Barkley convergence would make for a fun squad. But then Barkley dropped out and 2K was left with a 76ers team that wasn't 1985 or 1983 (Andrew Toney was missing, too). When 2K lost Moses Malone's rights after his passing, I think they felt it just didn't make sense to keep that 80's Sixers team in the game. It was basically Julius Erving and the Johnsons at that point.
