Frictionini, when I say premier, I mean "leading." It's still one of the top selling basketball series. Next time, don't say "LOL" unless you know the definitions of words.

2k has been better unless this time if they finally try some more effort...
I must say, I am not impressed with Dwight Howard's performance in the playoffs. I never watched them play during the regular season, maybe he was better then, but right now he is just terrible.
