That's sick.
Are the 2002 Kings and 2000 Blazers in it???

No NBA fans can ever not respect nor appreciate that 04' Piston.
They embodied everything that's right with basketball.

Strong team defense, cohesion, ball movement. They were just deadly.

Hopefully they're worth using. 2k teams with no star power are almost always easy to defeat.

The 2000 Blazers will, in fact, be included this year. However, the 2002 Kings have not been present since 2K13, when Chris Webber and 2K failed to come to an agreement on license usage.

I like that more "modern" teams are available. Some of the teams, while good, are a bitch to play with current rules

Back to my days of Wallace and Wallace in the paint! One of my favorite ever teams to play in past 2k games. Think big ben was on the cover in 04 or 05 or something. So sick and hyped!

99' Spurs next?!

Yup, NBA 2K5. They had the gong after he scored and everything.

Sick. It'll be fun to play with the younger, more athletic Sheed on the 2000 Blazers, and then seeing how different his older, more polished counterpart will play on the 04 Pistons.

I think I'm going to cry.
So getting a copy this year.

Shaquille and Kobe better be like 99 & 98 on that team; they steam rolled through the playoffs together.

It'll be interesting to see how much the two versions differentiate because 2004 Sheed was still under 30 years old, so he wasn't quite as explosive, but he was still dunking on heads pretty frequently. It wasn't until the following year(s) that he really began to sink into slightly-more-groundbound-veteran mode.

Next five teams should be:

2003-04 T'Wolves
2004-05 Suns
2004-05 Spurs
2005-06 Heat
2008-09 Lakers
