    NBA LIVE Ultimate Team Legends Preview

    Check out this amazing list of legendary superstars you can find when you play NBA LIVE Ultimate Team.


    DEE BROWN 90-91

    Brown capped off a successful rookie season with a 1991 Slam Dunk Championship. His “No-Look” dunk, to this day, is one of the best slams from the Slam Dunk contest.


    DARRYL DAWKINS 79-80

    “Chocolate Thunder” was known for his explosive dunking ability. His habit of shattering backboards (he broke two in 1979) led the NBA to adopt breakaway rims.


    DAVE BING 71-72

    Bing nearly went blind after suffering from a detached retina in a game. It ended up being okay; he played in seven NBA All-Star games.


    WORLD B FREE 79-80

    Along with his interesting name, World was known for his exciting style of play and ability to score.


    ROBERT HORRY 94-95

    Horry is known for his ability to make clutch shots, earning the appropriate nickname “Big Shot Rob.” Horry has won seven NBA Championships with three different teams (Rockets, Lakers, Spurs).


    SHAWN KEMP 95-96

    “Reign Man” was a key part of Seattle’s success in the 90s, leading the Sonics to their first NBA Finals appearance since 1979.


    CHRIS MULLIN 88-89

    Known for his ability to spot up and hit an outside shot, Mullin led the Warriors to five consecutive playoff appearances from 1988-1993.


    CHARLES OAKLEY 93-94

    In his lengthy NBA career, Oakley set a record in 1994 with 107 games started. He was known for his tenacious defending.


    VLADE DIVAC 94-95

    Divac was one of the first European players to make an impact in the NBA. He was a well-rounded player who was effective in hitting close and mid-range shots.


    MANUTE BOL 85-86

    Standing at 7 feet 6 inches, Bol set many shot blocking records. In his rookie season, he averaged 5 blocks per game.

      Does the game have legendary teams like 2K? I think some of those 80s and early 90s teams would be fun.

      It does not. It has a lot of legends, but no full teams.
