    Barkley Says Give Old Retired Players $1M and I'll be in NBA 2K

    It used to be in the ‘90s that Michael Jordan was the most conspicuous absence from licensed basketball games. These days it’s Charles Barkley, not for any rights issues, but because of the way he believes 2K needs to help out some of the people it’s using to make its millions every year.


    “I’m not talking about old retired players like me. There’s this misconception that everybody’s been making a gazillion dollars our whole life. There’s players older than me who didn’t make any money. Those are the guys, they’re older and probably need the money, so that’s why I’m not in the video game.”

          Right, if they haven't done it this long, i don't understand why they keep going to him like " have you changed your mind" he told you what he wants and if you aren't going to do that stop asking him already.

                Why not just accept the million yourself and distribute it to the other players Barkley is talking about.

                    Reggie stated they have not offered a reasonable compensation.



                    Think it is possible they would want him to announce too and be a player.

                      Because 2k should reach out to those players to possibly add them to the game. They could actually get a full team team from the old ones instead of filling it with the random CAPs.



                      An we don't know what Barkley does for them. We do know he does not play video games so he could care less about throwing 2k and gamers a bone.

                        And 2K sale numbers aren't going to be the same this year. Cause of all the actually season. I can't imagine they hit their marks this year.

                          Well it would count against his taxes as he was given it, wouldn't matter if he donated it away because they would have given him money. Then if he donated I believe that becomes a different section of taxes.



                          so it would be more work and legal than needed. Easier to just give to those players.

                            If you have $1M allocated why not just donate it to the players like he’s suggesting?

                              Because 2K hasn't offered Sir Charles 1 million. I doubt Jordan gets that and if he does... he's the only one.
