Hardaway ('91) Richmond ('91)

I...I...I...

I'm not worthy...I'm not worthy to be able to play with such greatness...

I'm just saying, in lieu of a lack of Chuck, offering that era's jerseys would be a great workaround. Regardless of any players who may have been left out for whatever reasons, the fact that 2K went and dropped at least 50 legends (along with their supporting casts) is one of the craziest moves in sports game history.

Adding to your point on retros, I wonder if all the Jordans from 2K11 will be in 2K12?

You and me both. It wouldn't be Mutumbo if he didn't. I would lose it if Jordan does the wag when he dunks on Mutumbo haha. That may be pushing it little too far.

if there are that many classic teams this is gonna be a Flounder 'boy, this is great" year for me

Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller may not have agreed to be a part of the game, but aren't the other 50 legends included by 2K a pretty decent consolation prize? I am beginning to wonder if others have noticed that in lieu of Chuck and Reg, there will be a near bottomless pit of legends (and currents) to make use of.
