Once Again, I have to wait another Week for the 03-04 Detroit Pistons!!!

Would like to know which players from these teams are in the game.
They should post that, too

Interesting decision to go with the 2008 Rockets. I'm guessing that year allowed for the most ready made roster construction of all those Rockets teams, in terms of players already in 2K. Yao missed the playoffs that year, but I'm interested to see how 2K utilizes him on the next generation after his overpowered history on the 360.

Also, nice family theme today - Vince Carter and a double dose of his cousin, Tracy McGrady.

Yao and T-Mac!

This team was pretty stacked looking back on it, amazing they never made a deep playoff run.

Lol I was replying to 24ths post but I see it is a year off now.

# 12 Junior Moe @ 08/13/15 03:23 PM

Gonna be fun running with TMac and Yao!

# 13 Mauer4MVP @ 08/13/15 03:23 PM

Skip to My Lou! I miss having a Alston-J-Dubb backourt in 2k.

Yao and McGrady were a must. Love having that team.

No offense, but it's getting borderline creepy.

# 15 VDusen04 @ 08/13/15 03:25 PM

Is Chuck Hayes' old free throw routine still in the game? If not, it's time for a comeback.

# 16 lakers24 @ 08/13/15 03:25 PM

Wow, a retro team with most of the players actually having recognizable faces lol.

I like his enthusiasm. I admit I was sitting here waiting for a 2004 Pistons reveal just as well.

TAKE MY MONEY!

# 19 eko718 @ 08/13/15 03:28 PM

Didn't we already know about the Raptors?

# 20 iNolaNightmare @ 08/13/15 03:29 PM

Keeping fingers crossed for 07-08 Hornets.
