    Danny Green always impressed me as kind of a nerd. Too bad Duncan is retired.

    I've been sent all the way from HOT back to NBA... With a brief stay to the Euroleague. LMBO 2k is trash. He'll gaming all together is trash. People rely on flaws an glitches. All you have to do now is watch YouTube videos an they teach you everything.

    Not really sure. But yeah, teams will have their own representative of eplayers. Nothing is final yet in terms of structure though. We just know Silver and 2k are both committed to the idea.

    So those nba2k ratings will matter more now that there is possibly money involved for NBA teams.

    Just looked into it. Apparently there will be a virtual draft combine of some sorts and teams will draft the players who stand out. Theres only 150 spots too.

    I'm not to sure if this will execute well though. Most of the 5v5 gameplay is just players using in game exploits and every avatar is a 99ovr demi god. It'd be a show for viewers.

    Yeah..

    1 vs 1 isbreally the way to go. One representative for each team.

    At least with that setup, team can afford to pay then player plus the game would look much more fluid. Not sure if someone who actually played 2k has told the NBA about the tiness of 5 vs 5.
