Complimenting your power forward…
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 Dallas Mavericks, Utah Jazz and Toronto Raptors.
Players eligible for Mark Cuban’s Mavs include:
C – Brandon Haywood
PF – Dirk Nowitzki
SF – Shawn Marion
SG – Caron Butler
SG – Jason Terry
PG – Jason Kidd
The Salt Lake City crew will be running with:
C – Mehmet Okur
PF – Carlos Boozer
PF – Paul Milsap
SF – Andrei Kirilenko
SG – CJ Miles
PG – Deron Williams
While the T Dot Raptors feature:
C – Andrea Bargnani
PF – Chris Bosh
SF – Hedo Turkoglu
SG – DeMar DeRozan
PG – Jarrett Jack
PG – Jose Calderon
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.
