Rants and Ranks

I had been thinking that the NBA 2K series needed to add some "new" historical teams.  The collection that they already had was great, but they needed to get some more teams from 2000 onward.  I was pleasantly surprised to find out they in fact added 12 teams to the upcoming game.  Let's take a look at who we have added. 2008 Celtics This Celtics team more than deserved to be on the game.  Let's face it, if KG, Pierce, or Ray are you're favorite players it's tough to play with the 2016 "old man" version of themselves and still have fun.  Especially Garnett who has slipped the most (rightfully so, it will be his 21st season), but at one point was the best player in the game.  (More on that in a minute.)
