NBA 2K20 picks All-Decade "Legendary" Teams

[kulaz3000]

Again Barkley and Nash don't allow their likeness to be used which is the only reason they are probably not on some of those teams. And I love Scottie Pippen but Grant Hill's 5 seasons in the 90s are really really good. Its a toss-up for me.

Grant HIll was the better offensive player, but Scottie was the much better defensive player. Grant Hill become a very good defender, but he really wasn't at his prime with the Pistons.

[Repeat 3-peat]

Will 2K add new classic teams? Seems like they added new teams every two years.

[DaPessimist]

Gimme the 90's squad, even without Charles.

Technically, Allen Iverson is much more of a "legend" than Nash, even if you dont think he's as good a player.

Nash is a 2 time MVP. Iverson was more popular but it's basically like comparing Vince Carter to Dirk.

Iverson won an MVP. Led a finals team that took the only win off the 2001 Lakers. Was your favorite players favorite player growing up. Is one of the most iconic figures of modern basketball. Orders of magnitude more popular than Nash and laps him in "legendary" nba moments.

Yeah, there's no question on a "legends" team, Steve Nash has no business whatsoever over Iverson.

He's certainly a legend because of the absurd myth build up around him. He made the Finals in a trash heap of an East and caught the Lakers napping, after stealing an MVP from Shaq. He's certainly a popular guy but IMO the real legend is the guy who was the architect of one of the greatest offences in the NBA.

Team 2000s gonna stomp everyone. Just put Nash as the PG

[Anti Chalmers]

2010 team with KD, Steph, Lebron, Harden with Dwight controlling the paint. Damn.

[Greyhound]

Thats a good point. OTOH, Kevin Durant isnt a 4 but they have him listed there, so I dont think they're being a complete stickler for positions so much as what you can reasonably play.

Agreed,KD is as much of a PF as AI was a PG.Can play the position but it's not the one he excels at.

From a basketball point of view,unrelated to stardom,i'd take Nash's 100 ways to get an assist over Iverson's 100 ways to score a basket with that specific line-up.

Probably. But Iverson does make sense for a legends team over Nash.

If anything, people should be complaining about Lebron being in the 00's team over Dirk.

I disagree with the Dirk thing.

KG has a stronger argument then Dirk (considering he won a title in the decade). That having been said, James is a worthy choice.

[GeorgeMarcus]

Iverson over Nash is just wrong.

Yeah but they were surprisingly competent otherwise. I'd argue Dr J over McHale for the 80s (move Bird to PF) but not sure I'd change anything else.

Regardless, Iverson will be more of a legend if you ask most people who ever remotely followed the nba.

[HBK_Kliq_33]

Dwight Howard has the worst finals performance for a superstar in NBA history, he doesn't deserve to be on the 1st team with the rest of those guys.

Replace Dwight with Kawhi Leonard and replace Iverson with Jason Kidd, than it's a perfect list.

[MrDollarBills]

Also, before anyone mentions him, Charles Barkley can't be there because he doesn't give 2k the rights to use his likeness.

Chuck wasn't making the cut on either team though. McHale was a beast from 1985 to 1990 and had an elite post game.

[MrDollarBills]

Pippen had more longevity than Hill. If you ask me who I think the better player is at their peak, I'd say Grant Hill but career wise Pippen smokes him.

I put Jason Kidd over both.

Isiah Thomas gets done dirty yet again...

[kulaz3000]

Isiah Thomas gets done dirty yet again...

Why? Isiah Thomas's best seasons were in the 80's, but so was Magics, and the former is clearly the better player.

I think he should get in over Mike for the 80s. MJ didn't do anything special in the 80s.

I'm aware that people like him. It bothers me when people get undeserved credit and Iverson is one of them. HOF guy for sure though.

Bird's line about God disguised as Jordan is an iconic moment if his career and NBA history.

[cdubbz]

Iverson over Nash is just wrong.

I was thinking Jason Kidd over Iverson to be real. 8x All Star in the decade, 2 Finals appearances, and Olympic Gold Medalist. Nash was Nice, but I would take Kidd over him and Iverson for that decade.

[Tim Kempton]

Kidd over AI for the '00s.
Dirk needs to be on the list somewhere, either over LeBron for the '00s or over Dwight for the '10s.
