Number 8: Jason Collins

The 01-02 New Jersey Nets classic team has been bolstered with the addition of former 18th overall pick from 2001, Jason Collins. Coming in with a poor face scan and a 71 overall rating, Collins is one of the most iconic additions to the game.

Number 7: Rafer Alston

Streetball legend Rafer Alston has finally been added to the game. The 79 overall PG makes an appearance on the 07-08 Houston Rockets team that has icons like Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. Players will be hoping to pull off flashy dimes and outrageous dribbling on the game with “Skip 2 My Lou.”

Number 6: Boris Diaw

One of the best passing bigs in the league, Boris Diaw finally makes his entry into 2K. The Frenchman is a Spurs icon who was a vital part of their title-winning team in 2014. Diaw is a 76 rated PF on the game and is part of the 13-14 San Antonio Spurs classic team.

Number 5: Luis Scola

Argentine Olympics gold medallist Luis Scola is back in the game after a two-year absence. He joins Rafer Alston on the 07-08 Houston Rockets classic team as a 76 overall PF and is also a part of the 13-14 Indiana Pacers team as a 73 overall PF.

Number 4: Kirk Hinrich

The Chicago Bulls All-Time team has added one more point guard to the roster. Kirk Hinrich makes his entry into offline rosters this year, after only being available on MyTeam in 2K20. The 82 overall PG looks to be a fan favorite, especially with his iconic glasses.

Number 3: Lamar Odom

Just like Kirk Hinrich, Lamar Odom was only available on MyTeam in the previous game. But now the 82 overall SF has been added to the All-Time Los Angeles Clippers team. With his addition to the offline rosters, one can only wonder how long before 2K adds the iconic 2009-10 Lakers team to the game.

 

Number 2: Andrea Bargnani

The 2006 number one overall pick, Andrea Bargnani has been added to the game. He had a couple of MyTeam cards on 2K20 but now he is also a part of the All-Time Toronto Raptors team as an 84 overall C.
