Important NBA 2k12 Information

I don't know how many of you do some balling through video games, but for those who do, this information will intrigue you to say the least.  Last year's NBA 2k11 was a huge hit among fans specifically because of the Jordan mode, in which you could play with Michael Jordan and his classic Bulls teams in some of his most defining moments as a basketball player.  NBA 2k12 has decided to build on that by including challenges revolving around 15 players that have defined the modern NBA era.  This will give gamers a similar experience but this time with players such as Larry Bird, Dr. J, Magic, Oscar Robertson, Patrick Ewing and more.  The question is, might the Nuggets have one of these 15 players, thus allowing us to play with a Nuggets classic team?  See the answer after the jump...

Star-divide

The answer is no and yes.  We do not have a top 15 player BUT for the Hakeem Olajuwon challenge you have to go up against the 1993-94 Denver Nuggets!  What does this mean?  That you can access this team and play as them!  The 1993-94 Nuggets will forever be remembered as the 8 seed that knocked off the 1 seed Seattle Supersonics.  With a roster that included Mutombo, Abdul-Rauf, LaPhonso Ellis, Robert Pack, Bryant Stith and Rodney Rogers the gamer will be able to battle some of the better teams in history as well as current teams (even the 2011-12 Nuggets) just to see how that 93-94 classic team would've done had they stayed together.  This, coupled with the amazing graphics that XBox 360 and the PS3 bring to the table should make for hours of entertainment.  I am particularly excited since that is my all-time favorite Nuggets team.  I kept wishing that 2k would add this team and to my surprise, they did!  

Here is a link to the story:

and here is a link to that classic 1993-94 roster.  Word out of 2k is that full rosters should be present for classic teams in 2k12, as opposed to 2k11 which basically offered the top 6 players.

So for those who want to play as Darnell Mee, here is your chance.

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER
With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
