NBA 2k18 bummer 

Post#1 » by chube » Thu Aug 24, 2017 11:56 pm

Apparently the NBA 2k producers couldn't secure a licensing deal with Reggie Miller so he won't be included as a playable member of the all-time Pacer roster.

Per an article it will be...

Mark Jackson
Ron Arrest (er...Artest)
Paul George
Jermaine O'Neal
Rik Smits
George McGinnis
Chuck Person
Jalen Rose
Roy Hibbert
Herb Williams
Antonio Davis
Detlef Schrempf
David West
Lance Stephenson
George Hill

Not sure about licensing but the only omission I see off the top of my head would be Mel Daniels and Dale Davis

That's actually brutal, was looking forward to reliving the Jackson, Reggie, Jalen, Davis and Smits glory days.

Also, wouldn't mind seeing Al Harrington or Stephen Jackson on there.

I'm not a huge video game player so this doesn't affect me much directly, but anything that keeps the memories of the 90s Pacers teams alive for me would be a good thing. That's when I started watching and playing basketball, and I am as big a Miller fan as there could be. Hopefully at some point in the future they will get him in there. Might encourage me to play more if they did.

Granger should be on the team.

Agree that Granger should be on there. It's a shame Reggie couldn't be on, the team would be so much more fun to play with including him...

Brad Miller, he wasn't here for long, but when he was, there was no stopping him and JO.

I've been trying to forget Stephen Jackson ever since he was dealt. If he was included would his likeness whine to the refs constantly the way the real Jackson did? :lol:

I'd have Vern Fleming, Dale Davis, Danny Granger and Jamaal Tinsley (yes even him) over George Hill and Lance. Hell, i'd even have Derreck McKey in over those two as well.

Yeah, I'm as big of Lance Stephenson fan as there is, but he nor George Hill make sense to me. My guess, they are already in the game so they didn't have to pay them extra to have their likeness on the all-time Pacers team.

Jamaal Tinsely's rookie year, wow, just wow. I thought we had the steal of the draft.
