WHY Charles Barkley REFUSES To Be In NBA2K 🎮

[camandretti_]

What’s real about what Charles said was “ he want all of the retired players to get paid “ not just him that’s real

[KalmoK]

Million dollars a year combined isn't even that much, atleast to 2K, so what the hell is 2K doing...? They think retired players don't deserve to get money from it? Come on man...

[daschwah]

2K refusing to pay out a paltry symbolic donation for the talent that’s made them BILLIONS of dollars is the most 2K thing ever.

[cjtrules]

Barkley isn't wanting 2K to pay the players $1 million collectively. He wants 2K to pay the RETIRED PLAYER'S ASSOCIATION. From there the money gets distributed to individual guys.
Barkley is wanting 2K to help old retired players and 2K refuses.

Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, Rasheed Wallace are the legends I want most

[markobasi]

If Jordan made that demand, ALL those retired guys would be getting paid

[zaco_]

Guess I’m going back to Barles Charkley

[yeeviedelaguape]

If more legends stood up like this 2k would have to agree to the terms.

[CrestlineIceberg]

Honestly, the fact that Barkley just wants 2k to donate a million a year to the retired players association and they just refused to do it says a lot about the company. Just furfill this man's wish and donate the million. The fact that you had to literally buy thousands of packs in 2k17 to get the reward cards which would then get you Barkley was a bit much.

With that being said, I am in full agreement with Barkley. They make way more from sales, it wouldn't hurt to donate.

I remember growing up when Mj was “player 23” lmao

[alZiiHardstylez]

I'm not even from the U.S. but just having Reggie Miller alone in the game for all the Indiana fans would recoup the cost. They seem pretty nutty about basketball over there.

[willcool]

He aint wrong .. those players deserve to be paid 👏

[GoPack]

We've been wanting Tayshaun Prince, Sheed, and Ron Artest for years.

[ratchettbaby]

I would LOVE to see him on the commentary with the interaction with shaq lol 😂

[dagameplayer]

I'm sitting here wondering where people in this comment section are getting this idea that Barkley wants 2k to give 1 million dollars to every retired player out there. He never said that. What he said was that he wants 2k to simply donate "1 MILLION DOLLARS" to the Retired Players Association every year. Then from there that 1 MILLION DOLLARS" would get divided up fairly between those guys. There is nothing wrong at all with a deal like that because 2k makes millions of dollars every year from this game.

[Greg_Deep]

2k can afford it... as much as they charge us for the same game every year.

[xpops]

Damn, wouldn’t want 2k to give up 5% of their day 1 vc purchases…

[derrickbird]

Honestly Barkley is smart for this.. I’ll be damned if someone else makes money off my likeness without me seeing a dime

[Jharal]

Charles Barkley and Reggie miller has to be added to nba 2k at some point😢😢

[T-W-M]

Reggie Miller not being in 2k is heartbreaking especially for us Indiana fans
