List of players with undeserved three balls:
Amar'e Stoudemire (Shot 23% from three for his career, still gets an 85 three.)
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1-18 from three, gets a 74 three.)
Patrick Ewing (15% from three, 84 three.)
Ralph Sampson (17% from three, 80 three.)
Hakeem Olajuwon (20% from three, 85 three)
Magic Johnson (30% from three, 92 three)
4
It evens out because of the broken gameplay and how we miss wide open shots with good releases.

To be fair, the 98 magic had a 3 ball in 2k16. Increased overall does that. Everything else is spot on tho.

This card is going to go for at least 500 to 600 MT points if not more

Fully agree, only card I am interested in for the entire set due to my current roster and flaws with these players. SInce i will not chase the Pink MJ, no use getting any of the other cards. But this one is worth a lot.

So because he had AIDS, 2k gave him a 92 open 3. Wilt didn't get AIDS and slept with 20,000 different women. And 2k gave him a 43 open 3. OKAY 2k

OMFG. Thanks i keyboard is dead now with some pepsi in it.

same comment as last magic card
Magic is magical for surviving with his weak pull out game...
His total attributes are how many girls Magic has slept with...
His face is like "Doctor, are you sure I have it?!", as the doctor is walking away in shame after the diagnosis
99 get AIDS tendency
Let me just say why does this card have a 92 three?!!! Typical 2K. This card will be a GLITCH

Show 2 replies...Was noticing that. His form makes it relatively easy to hit 3's with his Amy, This will be unfair as hell.
