You can control the roster of The Dream Team (minus Scottie Pippen) in 2K Sports' NBA 2K13. |
The 1992 USA Men's Basketball Team, better know as The Dream Team, has been licensed by 2K Sports to appear in the 2013 edition of their best-selling NBA basketball game, NBA 2K13.
It’s the Dream Team’s first depiction in a video game since “Team USA Basketball” for the Sega Genesis in 1992.
Unfortunately of Chicago Bulls fans, every player on the illustrious Dream Team's roster will be included except for Scottie Pippen, who isn’t part of the National Basketball Retired Players Association and couldn’t come to terms with 2K Sports.
Here's who you will find (in case you haven't committed the roster of the greatest basketball team of all time to memory):
PG: Magic Johnson, John Stockton
SG: Michael Jordan, Clyde Drexler
SF: Larry Bird, Chris Mullen
PF: Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Christian Laettner
C: David Robinson, Patrick Ewing
With all the talk about the 2012 USA Men's Basketball team being able to hang with The Dream Team, this is what video games are all about, being able to simulate or play out match-ups that we can never see in real life. While we can never really answer the question of "who is better?", we can simulate the match-up 999 times and possibly get an idea!
Anyway, we are excited to see what else NBA 2K13 has in store for fans of the series and looking forward to the game's release on October 2nd.
Who would you put on a Dream Team of today's players to take on the 1992 Olympic Dream Team? We want your rosters in the comments below!
