The '04 Pistons were a below average offense and it should reflect in the game, I have a feeling Billups will be overpowered.

It would be class if we saw that Switcheroo in NBA 2K16, I'm not sure how it would work though?

As a huge Jordan fan, I wholeheartedly disagree with you.

The team sucked, But Jordan was still incredible at times. If we're going the 2000's route with the 'retro' teams, then this is a team I'd DEFINITELY want.

Not surprised really.

But like I said, I'm a Jordan fan. I loved the Wizard years. Old man MJ still had enough in the tank to take the youngsters to school from time to time. Pity the rest of the team blew.

Agree with dave. If were going with 2000 ruote, i would love the 2001-02 Wizards. Old MJ t Schoolin the young Guns. I love Wizards MJ

Exactly. Never understood 'those' MJ fans who acted like the Washington years never happened. Jordan's game was still damn impressive at that age.

I really Liked the MJ Wizards Years but I think that a MJ Wizards Team would be a waste of Classic Team Spot, when there is so many other Better 2000s Teams!

Give us the greatest Twolves team please. KG, Cassell and Sprewell.

I'm with you on that. I thoroughly enjoyed Jordan's Wizards days. He was mortal, and maybe that added to my ability to pull for him as an underdog of sorts, but it was awesome watching him for those moments (more than a few) when he put the new generation on notice. Every time he did something spectacular, it was special. Perhaps my favorite:

That said, yeah, those Wizards probably won't get a classic look and perhaps rightfully so. I remember using them back in '02 and I used them when portlandblazer used to make awesome rosters and while it was fulfilling to control old MJ, that cupboard was pretty bare. If he and Hamilton were on the bench at the same time, it became the Chris Whitney and Popeye Jones show.

With news of custom defensive schemes for classic teams this year, I'm hoping Larry Brown's 2004 Pistons half-court trap and Lindsey Hunter & Mike James' full court prowl make it in (52 second mark and 5:00):
