The MAmba predicted it:
Maybe now you could say I didn’t play a second, but in five years, you guys are going to forget. In ten years I’ll still be a champion. In 20 years I’ll tell my kids I probably started, and in 30 years I’ll probably tell them I got the MVP. So I’m probably not too worried about it.
We now remember him as a GOAT not someone who never played.

Man I remember when he got his first triple-triple. I didn’t think it was possible to get 100 points, 100 assists, and 100 rebounds. Truly insane. #WhiteMamba

remember his halfcourt 360 windmill pump fake between the legs off the backboard buzzer beater posterizer in the NBA finals?

I barely remember that, that shit was weak compared to some of his other shots

People: Brian Scalabrine is considered the worst basketball player ever.
2k logic: Give him an opal that can speedboost.

Making cards for memes now is absolutely egregious to me. Bad enough that there's a 99 overall FVV out there, now we're giving 99s to guys who barely averaged over 3 points per game over a career average of 13 minutes per? I don't want guys like this being able to hang with actual legends of the game. No way should this card be better/more viable at the 4 than guys like Mo Lucas or Shawn Kemp. I love Scal as much as the next guy. He was a really fun role player and just a plain likable guy, but being able to have this card compete with the MJs of the world is not doing this game mode any favors regardless of memes.
2
Do you even know why they added VanVleet? It's because he helped the Raptors a lot in the playoff. And he averages 8 PPG for his career.
1
0
Oh, and I was talking about Scalabrine when I was referencing the 3 PPG. Those are his numbers. Fred is a fine role player, but that's all he is, a role player. The PD Anniversary Magic is rated worse than him in a lot of areas and it is, perhaps, the best representation of Magic's game irl. In what world does it make sense for Fred to have a better card than a realistic Magic card?

for the memes

Fred VanVleet is actually good though.... Do you watch basketball?
1
why are so so mad that you have to write a whole paragraph about how bad this card is
-5
Because it's symptomatic of everything wrong with this mode. This card is going to play absolutely nothing like the real Scalabrine. It's going to be some basketball demigod dressed in a Brian Scalabrine costume. I don't want that. I'd love to use a Scalabrine card and it would be great for him to be a viable choice, but making a fake version of him that never existed isn't the way to go about it. The way to go about it is to encourage more variety in team building. A permanent multiplayer mode where you have to have x number of gold players in your lineup, for instance, is a great way to make Scal a viable option. But this... not only does it not serve to make Scal viable, this isn't even Scal, period.

Brian scalabrine is a meme in the basketball community. 2k simply made a joke card because people would find it funny. Just look at the comments, everyone's loving it. Just relax, it's just a game, not every card has to be serious
0
I know he's a meme,and I know it's a game, but it's one that purports to be a basketball simulation. This completely ruins that, and for someone who would love to actually enjoy this mode and play basketball within it... that kills it for me, quite honestly. This card isn't Brian Scalabrine. He's some fictional player in Scalabrine's skin, and that shouldn't sit right with you either.
0
if you want a realistic basketball simulation, play playnow. Plus, Myteam has realistic cards, stop complaining about these ones and go use the realistic ones. These unrealistic cards are jokes, JOKES. Stop taking it so seriously. The GO Scal Is completely fine and sits right with me because it's a meme, I found it funny when I saw it. Just lighten up a bit. Myteam isn't supposed to be a 100% accurate game mode.
0
See... I have an issue with that. I play PNO and enjoy it thoroughly. I play it more often than My Team, but I'd love to play MT more. This is the issue that holds me back from doing it, however. For me, the draw to My Team is putting Kobe on the same floor as Wilt, MJ with Bill Russell, all these things you can't actually do in a Play Now Online setting. When 2k is out here making a mockery of the game of basketball that I love for a meme and a joke (honestly, one I've always found ridiculous, btw. I get Scal as a fan favorite. I always liked him, but all this junk is rather ridiculous for me), it really alienates players like me who want to enjoy the mode in this way and caters to folks who just want to dink around, throwing up bombs with Scalabrine and Jimmer because, hey it's hilarious! It really just murders any enthusiasm I'd have for a mode that would easily be my favorite if it weren't for all the shenanigans
-1
Does this mess up your tier list of viable cheesers or something? Listen nerd, MyTeam is supposed to be a fun mode. And having a GO Scal is fun. If you don't like it cause you're afraid your cheesy KP or AD cards are about to demolished by Scal you should be afraid, be very afraid. Scal is coming.
1
1
What? No way! I don't play this game to cheese. I play it as straight up as I can. I don't use Kristaps or AD at all. My team is far more run of the mill, as I basically run players I enjoy. I run sets and play actual basketball, which is not something that can be said about 95% of the dudes out there. I'll never even reach the point where this card will be unlocked and I never want to, and yet people will still abuse this fictional player whose skill set never truly existed, and you expect me, who is playing as close to an actual basketball game as I can, to deal with a player who has a completely made up skill set? Come on dude
-1
Fictional? Made up? Do you not know who this is? This is Brian Fucking Scalabrine. The guy that was the inspiration behind the dunk in Space Jam. This is a man recognized by basketball gods. Don't believe me?

Bam...
1
I know exactly who this is. Do YOU know who this is? I mean, who this actually is, not just the folklore. This is a guy who averaged 3 points a night in 13 minutes of play. All the jokes, all the memes in the world don't change who this ACTUALLY is. As it stands, even his gold card is overpowered from his actual skillset.
-1
This is what happens when you sell the game for 3 bucks... you get people who don't sound like they've ever played a game of 2K before.
Jamal Crawford, Luis Scola, Ty Lawson, Deron Williams... troll diamonds have always been a thing on MT. As a matter in fact MyTeam used to be the best mode in 2K back when it was fun. Now it's become a non-stop competitive grind where fun is not a lot. Cheesers and people with bad spending habits ruin games by being try hards all the time. And the servers and auction house are always down. If 2K wants to add a little more fun back into this LET THEM. If you don't like it, bye.
1
And honestly, as long as I've played it, I've been very displeased with MyTeam. It brings out easily the worst basketball when people are just chucking from beyond the hash with everyone and their sister and hitting from a solid clip, sitting on the square and triangle buttons defensively and getting bailed out for it just because they bought or grinded for the best players available. Where's the skill? Where's the basketball IQ? In a game mode that makes never before seen superstars out of a career bench player, it's not here...
1
I've had this game since it dropped.... And have been playing every year since 16, trying MyTeam every year at least a bit since 17 in the hopes that it might be less of a clown fest and more like a basketball game... This is what keeps me from playing this mode more. The guys who "just wanna have fun" instead of actually playing basketball the way it's meant to be played. Instead of having balanced squads of players from all sorts of different eras and skill sets, it becomes a bunch of once-in-a-lifetime superstars who have no weaknesses. That's where the cheesing comes from, where the try-hard attitude comes from. Having fewer joke cards like this one would go a long way toward solving these problems, and there are still ways to use players like Scalabrine without having to make fake versions of them
-1
No cheesers come from reward cards requiring 12-0 records and not having any match making or tier ranking system with different leagues. The entire game is designed to force people to play cancer ball with three fowards and two centers on every starting lineup. And bronze bench to drop overall rating to go up against people with worse cards to get easy wins. This MT was disgusting and had no room to have fun. If you want to use a starting lineup of your favorite team even if it means having some Ruby and 90 overalls you'll go up against a GO team with bronze bench players to trick the match making. This game is dead and in the end game by now. If they want to add fun cards good, it's the perfect time to do so. You're acting like they released this card at the beginning of the game and he was the best card ever. It's a decent GO Scal coming in end game where everyone has GO cards. Do you not understand how MT works?
1
I absolutely do. All of those things you described are problems I have with it too. The way to have fun is not by making cards of players that never existed. It's in fixing the mode. Position locks, better matchmaking, all that stuff is 100 percent necessary, and it will eliminate the need for jokes like this one. I'm honestly not even sure there should be an "end game," I'd almost prefer for all cards to be available on day 1, with the best versions being capped at the highest rating in the regular rosters. Now, maybe you'd want to release cards that represent earlier seasons (like the Rookie Sensation promo, which I thought was pretty great for the most part) or cards of players that are not already in the game, but it should be done fairly and within reason. In all honesty, up until what they did this year, I felt that MLB The Show had a card collection mode that 2k ought to have emulated. Legends with lower-tier cards, actual incentive to move up, the only thing it really lacked was lineup balance.
Enforcing an actual salary cap in the main game mode would go a long way in creating fair and balanced play (and not like the 2k18 cap that literally didn't matter after the second week. Something that makes you actually have to build a somewhat real looking lineup and that forces you to use cards with weaknesses). I fully understand how MT works. I'm saying that it shouldn't have to work that way. It's possible to have a fun and balanced game mode, but 2k has always catered to the casuals who want junk like this.
0
take it easy dawg. its a game. supposed ti be fun.

Right, and part of the fun, to me anyway, is being able to play with my heroes and the guys who are the best in the sport on the same floor. A card like this reaaaally kills the immersion for me.

After 3 years of teasing, it's good to see 2K are keeping the meme alive.
Facts all we need are andrew bynum, Glen Bias (spelled that name wrong), and Anthony Bennett
why make a glen bias card dude?
do you know what happended to him?

Show 4 replies...He was the guy who cocaine over dosed right? I get my players mixed up. As for why make him a card if 2k makes brian scalabrine a card then any one can be a GO. Should have put him in the draft collection. Sorry if i offended you or anyone
You are correct,but again better not the best thing to meme him
while it was a joke i actually would like to see a draft day card for all of the people i listed just to see some new faces like what 2k did with agent 0 and brandon roy. Would extend the content a little longer
