Isiah, Dr. J and Air Jordan, well, almost…
by Brad Graham
In case you missed it… The (second) greatest arcade machine ever conceived (after Street Fighter II, for those keeping count) is heading to your place in 2010. NBA JAM will soon be unleashed on the Nintendo Wii, thanks to EA Sports, and the best part – we get to elect the NBA players who will appear on the game’s final rosters. Up for consideration (and currently on the clock) are the Detroit Pistons, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Chicago Bulls.
Players eligible for the Motown Pistons include:
C – Ben Wallace
PF – Charlie Villanueva
SF – Tayshaun Prince
SG – Richard Hamilton
SG – Ben Gordon
PG – Rodney Stuckey
The Illadelphia crew will be running with:
PF – Elton Brand
PF – Marreese Speights
SF – Thaddeus Young
SG – Andre Iguodala
SG – Allen Iverson
PG – Lou Williams
While the Windy City Bulls feature:
C – Joakim Noah
PF – Tyrus Thomas
SF – Luol Deng
SG – John Salmons
PG – Kirk Hinrich
PG – Derrick Rose
You only have to select three players but if you wanna have your say, you better be quick because voting for these team’s will close in a few days… at which point the next three will become available.
