I went with Baron, Griffin and Gordon for the Clips. For a game like NBA Jam, you have to have Griffin and Baron on there, because of the nature of the game. It was kind of hard to choose between Kaman and Gordon and even Camby to an extent (blocks would easily be a 9). I went with Gordon though. If they do him right, he should have a nice balance with high numbers in 3's, steals, speed & potentially clutchness.

For the other teams I went with:
Evans, Martin & Thompson for the Kings
Durant, Green & Westbrook for OKC

It was a very hard decision. I went with Baron/Gordon/Griffin. BTW I'm going to have to buy a Wii just for this game.

Yup. I went the Baron, EJ, Griffin route as well. Then Evans, Martin, Thompson. And then Durant, Harden, Green.

Eastern Rosters Revealed

Every team has a minimum of 3 active players (9 teams have 4 man teams due to close tallies in voting)
Some teams don't have a legend due to contractual restrictions or relative lack of team history.

5 Eastern teams have 4 man rosters. Possibility that the Clippers have 4 players (Griffin, Baron, Gordon & Kaman).

Clipper legend? Eh...I'd assume it would be Manning and/or Harper based on the other names that have been chosen.

another vote for baron, gordon, and griffin here since nba jam series focuses on arcade-ish gameplay.

maybe they'll have a team worth using this time around. out of the hundreds of nba jam games (snes version) i've played, i think i might have used the clippers squad maybe once or twice. wasn't it danny manning and rodney rogers or something? worst duo ever, at least in comparison to most other teams in the game.

My choices as well.

I wonder what the game will be like? I used to love me some NBA Jam back in the day. I used to use the Warriors with Spree and Mullin, and the Sonics with Kemp and Payton.

They should have some sort of option to choose commentators too:

Davis from downtown... BINGO!!!!! :lol:

'NBA Jam': Introducing the West rosters

Los Angeles Clippers

Players: Baron Davis, Blake Griffin and Chris Kaman

Legend: Danny Manning

I am most curious to see how dominant the programming mavens have decided to make Griffin, considering we still haven't seen him in a real NBA game yet. And I am surely more excited than most to see a Clips roster that includes Manning, whose legendary status is unquestioned in Clipperland as well as here at Stein Line HQ, where we will never forget how he was traded to Atlanta on about the 10th day of my new life as a rookie beat writer in the 1993-94 season. (P.S. -- I suspect Baron will be an underrated Jam force who will eventually help Clips devotees get past the fact that Team USA's Eric Gordon apparently lost out in fan voting to Kaman.)

Marc Stein, ESPN

EJ was snubbed.

I'm not even sure I'll ever end up playing this game, but Baron and Blake would make a nice combo.

Sir Charles was snubbed, but Kenny will be teaming up with the Dream again. The Spurs could be a fun team to use with their current big 3 along with the Admiral and the Iceman.

How did EJ not make it

I think that more non-Clipper fans voted than actual Clipper fans. Kaman was having a great season and all, but the vote should have been close if anything. Other teams that had too close to call votes got an extra player. Even Yi Jianlian is on the game as a 4th member of Wizards.

Chris Kaman? That's so lame!!! I also don't care much for Baron either but its an OK pick I guess. I was really hoping EJ would of been in the game. Oh well, I'll be teaming up #1 overall draft picks Blake Griffin and Danny Manning.
