NBA 2K13's 1992 Olympic Dream Team Won't Have Scottie Pippen

Some hardcore NBA fans may have noticed that a familiar face mysteriously absent in NBA 2K13's digital recreation of the 1992 USA Olympics' "Dream Team".
Famed Chicago Bulls Forward-Guard Scottie Pippen's likeness didn't appear in NBA 2K13's team photo announcing that the gold-medal winning 1992 Olympic Team and 2012 USA Olympic "Dream Team" would appear as special all-star teams in 2K Sports' newest NBA title. Take-Two Interactive later confirmed that Pippen's likeness won't appear in the game, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Pippen himself couldn't be reached for comment on the matter, but Take-Two released a statement that only said they "were unable to include him in-game this year for a variety of reasons, though we share everyone's hope that he may one day appear in our game."
I'm 99.9 percent sure that this had to do with that one thing that ruins all great sports and can blind all great athletes: Money. Part of me, however, really hopes that this is just a brilliant and elaborate revenge plot concocted by Isaiah Thomas.

I think he meant he knew he wasn't on the team in the game.

But I[..]umed after seeing the thread with the pic of the Dream Team with Pippen missing, that he wouldn't be in the game period.

i read on some other site that he was in the game for all the throwback nba teams he was on but not any fiba teams, guess that was bull !!

if true then another win for PC gamers[pic]

We will keep winning

but who really cares, with how many players the dream team has, pippen wont be missed. [pic]

His defense[pic]

He wasn't the only forward on their who played defense, but you do have a point cause he was young and had good hustle, surely to have some speed and bang too... But still.... I think its ok. [pic]

So they're gonna have a incomplete roster? !! is dumb. Pippen is known for his defense, how can you not include him?

It's not about that...Pippen's "claim to fame" was his top tier defense...like the deion sanders of the nba...that's what i meant

I'm certain we'll get a comparable "blank/default" player....but yeah it shoulda been scottie.

im sure niccas would still be complaining if the whole team wasn't on at all just because they couldnt clear pippen.

at power forward number 33.. [pic] i can deal with it.
