@Thomas Sankara it counts :P since its all about speaking, if you mean like breaking 4th wall and speaking real then yes it might be, but maybe some nba live before 2004 had some cut scene too, so need bigger research for this
@@Cody-sk2dr Back in 2000s everyone played live. My first game was Live '06 but social media wasn't popping that much back then so no one remembers, we just played the game. But yeah, since, arguably, 2008 2K has been the more dominant basketball game. 2k11 came out and Live should've wrapped it up right there.
Bro my hair was standing up…I had the volume up and the bass made me feel like I was about to watch an epic ass movie. Without a doubt one of my favorite video gaming memories, it’s close to my first boot up of GTA IV, and my first time on Bloodgultch in Halo 1.
I never picked up 2K until I saw 2K12 with Jordan on the cover and you could choose between Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. This one looks pretty epic though.
The first time I ever booted this up and this intro came on.......I cried...... I cried like a little bitch. Am I'm not afraid to admit it.... I felt like a child again, 9 years old watching MJ win his first championship live.
I remember gamestop having a 12am release in my town. I came home and played this game until the next morning. Ill never forget it. We all waited for Jordan to be in the game, and 2k took it to the max....thank you visual concepts
I'm glad that Michael Jordan agreed to this for 2K11 because basketball wouldn't be basketball without him. well, there's other players like Bill Russell, Julius Erving, even the Bird himself but it was Michael Jordan who changed basketball. I hope one day that Allen Iverson gets this kind of treatment too. an Iverson Challenge
this made basketball fun again for video games. I know we've had the ability to play with Jordan before, but not on a full team against other teams with his teammates. This blew me away. Still shocking how good this game still holds up. I Find it to be more enjoable than nba 2k18.
@@RedDeadZen he did, but without Mike and the dream teams influence, a good chunk of that Spurs team wouldn't be basketball players (Tony Parker said this himself that the dream team inspired him to play basketball
When I first seen this and Michael Jordan said are you ready I stood up and said yes Michael I am ready and I was loud to my mom thought I lost my mind lol!

The best 2k made. 2k14 a close second. I remember myself forcing my parents to go to my cousins house to play 2k11 cause we didn’t have a compatible console and I would stay there for hours on hours. The exact same thing for 2k14. I still don’t own a 2k to this day though a could get it, but after 2k16 the game began to get worse. The nostalgia is really tough here.
I wish this sort of intro would happen in My Player. After winning 12 straight Finals, being voted MVP 11 times, Finals MVP 10 times, Rookie of the Year, D Player of the Year 9 times, All-star team 9 times, and breaking half the NBA records I think I have earned a badass intro.
1:26 I remember getting this game for the first time and sobbing when he said that. As a kid I jumped up like "NO!! I'M FINNA PLAY AS MICHAEL ALREADY!! I AIN'T GOTTA UNLOCK HIM?? I'M NOT READY YET? I HAVEN'T PREPARED!! I NEED TIME!!"
I clicked on this randomly thinking nothing of it but holy shit the nostalgia I just experienced is crazy. Anyone remember the “ITS TIME TO PLAY BAS-KET-BALL!” intro in (I think) 2k12? Wow, good times.
if you are playing a sports Video game (IDC if it's basketball NFL FIFA or Hockey) And this video doesn't make you like want to break The other team in half and score a 100 points with Jordan Then I frankly don't know what will
Oh man... what an awesome intro! How can you not love this if you're a Bulls fan from the 90's? Only thing better than showing Game 1 of the 1991 NBA Finals would be a fantasy Finals between the 96 Bulls and 87 Lakers. Now THAT would have been one awesome matchup to see.
The fans in this game were so much better than in newer games... they looked like they were really into the game instead of looking like zombies who were programmed to sing “if you are happy and you know it clap your hands” during the end of games...
I remember thinking it was a real video when I first loaded this game and Michael came up on the screen running out of the tunnel. Back then these were unbelievably good looking graphics
2k11 is one of the best basketball games ever.
Amen to that
say no more
d xz 2k13 kinda better
the challenger af no 2k11 best basketball game

Jordan was the first player to ever speak in 2K.
Damn, i didn't know that.
are u you sure we never heard players small talks in 2k games? cause i swear i heard some in past
