I thought we have the 80's Magic with the 1987 Lakers. And if the challenge is only winning, does it really matter who the legend is?

I got the feeling the Legend Matchups were just sort of placeholders. I mean, Kareem's challenge comes as a part of the '87 Lakers, but clearly Magic and the rest of the crew will be there as well. So I think this was kind of 2K's way of spreading the wealth and including multiple versions of key teams featuring the legends on the cover (which would explain a random "Pippen" legend in addition to a random - but awesome - '93 Bulls/Hornets match).

Well the 86-87 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar well be there so the Magic of 87 would be there too.

I respect the history of the game, but if I have never seen someone play, I cant really enjoy playing his likeness. By just adding Allen Iverson it would have made alot of people happy and would have sold alot more copies and pleased alot more people than having a Jerry West/ Scottie Pippen Challenge. You all saw the vote of Facebook. Iverson was one of the most wanted players. 2k dropped the ball.
It might make you take the time and see what these players accomplished. If you love the game, you should look back at who made the game. Contrary to what a lot of people think, the game didn't start in the 80s or for some "teenagers" the 90s. The Big O is my pick for tragedy player ever and if he weren't in this mode, 2k would have made a big mistake. I will love putting Shaq and Kobe against Wilt or Russell.

And please look up what Pistol Pete did in college and check out some of his highlights. Him and Cousy were the originators of flashy passing. Know king how 2k handles this stuff, Pistiol Pete, hopefully with the floppy socks, will ridiculous passing animations.

I would have loved to play with Reggie, Charles and AI, but I'm psyched by the teams they did get. The one player who reallly needed to be in here was Sir Charles, but it must have something to do with contrcts.

Re: NBA 2K12 - All 15 Legends Announced

Fantastic job 2k. I'm blown away and can't wait to play with all of these teams.

I'm most excited about the Ewing vs Shaq matchup, and the Bulls vs Hornets should be fantastic!

Yessir. I think the opponent's teams to these Legends squads sends this mode into the stratosphere. There's going to be awesome players oozing from this game.

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be more than content for a while with all the lineups mentioned here. But with one eye peering forward, user-created classic teams are going to be intense this year. There's going to be wealth of real players from nearly all eras to choose from. And depending on what accessories are editable, some pre-80's rosters might have a chance of coming together.

I'm glad I'm not the only one pumped up about the inclusion of that '93 Hornets squad. For some reason I pictured people lamenting such a random choice as I read the article. I actually just played as them last night using portlandblazer's '93 roster, semi-coincidentally against the Orlando Magic (though the Penny-less version).

Good to see the Classic Team's rosters are filled a lot more then in 2K11, I won't have to go to great lengths to get rid of filler characters.
