In the past several years, Jason Argent, vice-president of marketing for 2K Sports, heard from fans of the NBA 2K series, through letters, online forums and social media, asking when the 1992 Dream Team would be in the game.

That opportunity didn't come about for 2K Sports until this year, when music mogul and Nets minority owner Jay-Z became the executive producer of NBA 2K13. During a media conference call on Tuesday, Argent said that Jay-Z influenced 2K Sports to strike a deal with USA Basketball and individually with Charles Barkley, who's not part of the National Basketball Retired Players Association. (Scottie Pippen isn't either, but he wasn't able to reach an agreement with 2K Sports.) Afterward, the video game company was allowed to return to the creative lab to incorporate the '92 Dream Team and 2012 Olympic squad into 2K13, which is on its finishing touches.

"The Dream Team wasn't going to happen this year for us without Jay's involvement and assistance upon doing it," Argent said, "and we're obviously very happy that he did that."

When developer Bruce Ratner recruited Jay-Z, worth an estimated $38 million, to invest in the team, the 42-year-old tossed a cool $1 million into the pot—by most standards an inconsequential percentage of the team Ratner’s group paid $300 million to acquire, later selling an 80 percent stake to Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov for $260 million.

What's funny though you don't even see Ratner that much. Hell if he doesn't pay back Proky by December the loan for building the arena Mikhail will own 80 percent of arena along with the Nets

Last update.

Miami Heat is still the number 1 team second to the Nets and 3rd was the clippers.

I expect the Lakers to jump past the Nets.

Once Dwight Howard stuff go on sale. I gotta believe the Adidas will just move their marketing plan to Dwight being a Laker
 
Now if they have this latest USA team on the game so dudes can play out the whole controversy on the game. That would be SICK!!!! I haven't played vg's in a long time (makes me feel unproductive) but I might get back into it if they did some shit like that.
