About

  • This page serves as a template for recreating and historical NBA teams, that NBA 2K has currently left off their selection of Classic Teams available in the game.
  • Some rosters below are current Classic Teams available in the latest NBA 2K, but are tweaked for a more complete or accurate roster.
  • All rosters are based on the end of the season with the final rosters, meaning players that were on the team at the beginning of the season are not included.
  • The overall ratings from each player come solely from our in house creations and opinions, but were formed using many sources including, Basketball-Reference, similar historical rosters on YouTube, and removed NBA 2K rosters and ratings.
  • Eventually one day we hope to have... every player, every team, every rating... of all time.
