I have everyone 2k made. Starting with the original on Dreamcast. They are all sitting on my bookshelf, probably never to be played again.

2k bball has always been a first day cop for me. Even though what I'm reading and seeing irritates me, 2k13 will be in my XBOX on release date. My mind slips me but I was having this same convo with someone the other day, I think it was Nina Mo on G+ (she falls for it every year as well).
