This is the best intro in my book

New basketball fans will never understand how iconic rose passing it to jordan was for baseketball fans after the season rose had

Will always be the best 2k intro. Hands down

This video makes me cry in a good way

One of those nba2k intros that i don't wanna skip. Such good old days.

My first 2K! Man what a time

NBA 2K12 is one of my favorite basketball game.

This is definitively the greatest intro to any sport game ever

Never skipped the intro when playing this, time sure flies

I remember playing 2k12 with my best friend back in the day, when we both knew nothing about basketball. We played almost every single day until I moved to another country and haven't heard from him since. That was almost 7 years ago. That first two frames with the nba logo and the logos of the teams is so nostalgic and reminded me of that time. Time flies too fast.

Rest in peace kobe❤️

did anyone realize that steve nash gave a pass to kobe then one year later steve nash plays for the lakers

Dang, I remember my game freezing everytime Dirk got his shot blocked, man the good ole days.

The greatest 2k intro of all time change my mind got goosebumps watching this going back to being a kid

I remember, Christmas eve I was 14 and asleep and I kept thinking about when I begged my parents to get 2k12 but was quiet because I did not want my 10 year old brother to find out Santa was not real. I was hoping I got it and when I went downstairs on Christmas morning I saw a square package and I was so excited that I almost ditched my other presents to play. I wait patiently and go to my basement and pop 2k in. I hear the words "You playing basketball!!!" I continue as I see a healthy wade and Kobe walk side by side. Bill Russell Out rebounds Amare, even julius erving does the signature behind the backboard reverse layup!!!! and to make the intro so iconic, Derrick Rose who is next in line to be the best point guard in the league makes a pass to the greatest of all time. Then the jordan moment was played and I was hooked on the game for the rest of 2012, only this and minecraft I would play. What a childhood.

i miss nba2k12 better than nba 2k15

favoite parts include- hakeem doing the dream shake on duncan, dirk on lebron, rose to mj almost made me cry imagine if they played togther. still the best intro ever

Seeing this intro after all this time... Man, the memories! 2012 was when I was most into basketball, so being reminded of Amar'e, Dwight Howard (when he was still at the Magic), Lebron at the Heat, and of course that final clip, Derrick Rose passing to MJ for the finishing dunk... I miss 2012, man.

Gave me the chills I still remember this part 0:31😭😭😭

The Nostalgia 😪

Has anyone noticed that there are literally no warriors players in this intro?

Anyone else get chills when Ewing shot and the crowd yells “THREEEEE... *swish* YAHHHHHHH”

Best intro in 2k history! ❤

Man hard to believe this is reaching 10 years ago... This was when 2k was putting their absolute effort into games!!

Greatest intro ever man i miss these days

Nostalgia is literally pain

Gives me chills to this day.

RIP Kobe and GiGi 🕊

John wall and Dirk are the only players that are still on ther same teams now😮😮

12/13 years later… still got the same goosebumps as when I was a kid. Perfect in every way

0:51 There's a story where Red Auerbach noted that Russell wouldn't be a massive point scorer like Wilt. Red said, to some effect, "We're going to count each rebound as a score because it's just as important." The rest, as they say, is history.

Ahh I’m so mad my disc broke definitely one of the best 2k’s of all time

Me and my brother sat in a room all summer and played this for 15 hours straight every day

It's not how the graphic will be in the game, it's all about how the company puts heart into the game. Look at that OP, that is what we wanna see in sports games. The culture , man.

The best intro to ever exist in the 2k community

Man this brings back so many memories . What a fuckin time

The nostalgia oh my god

This was the last 2K game I actually grinded tf out of…I remember getting it for my birthday and skipped a week of school just to play it 🤣 great times

this waaay better than 2k13 intro, best intro in any 2k ball game! Really love how they compare the Hall of Famers against todays players and show the oldies some recognition!

This was my first ever 2k and it this was iconic!!!

One of the best intros imo. Love the song

I can listen to this all day

Did anyone else notice that all the people in this intro are either retired now, or on a different team.

The best intro to 2k EVER. iconic

The game that reintroduced me to 2K

Man this brings me back…

waking up mid 2013-2015 to play this… nostalgic

0:59 - Oh I see what they did there :D

I still come back to this I loved this intro. Nba 2k11 will always be the best but this intro got played almost daily in 2011-2012.

This is the best NBA 2k game

this and WWE 12’ intros were gold at the time..

R.I.P KOBE BRYANT

Best intro yet :D

Rip #8&#24 we’ll always be a goat 🐐

I love the soundtrack to this game.

This gets me every single time. Freakn loved playing this vid all the time !!!

nothing beats this intro 💯

In late 2018 this game and nba2k11 were the best basketball games. This intro is the best.

Awww memories the game that I always kicked my cousins ass with the bulls #mvprose 🔥💯🌹🌹

best part is seeing the fan next to Dwight 🤣 dude has to be like 8 foot😂

Greatest intro of all time!

they need to bring intros back bc this right here was fire

I wonder could someone make a 2k17 version of this

This pops into my head so often.

Who else watching this before 2k18 comes out?

That pass from Rose to Jordan so smooth

R.I.P to the Legend Kobe

Still watching this in 2021 lol I remember like it was yesterday when I brought this game.

The fact that they slow down Jerry West to make sure you notice the NBA logo tribute

The greatest 2k and 2k intro 💯😂

Back when 2k wasn’t lazy

The old bucks logo almost brought me to tears all those good memories

I love the song in the intro 😀

High school memories..

Stuff like this is what the newer 2k’s are missing

Simply a intro I couldn’t skip

Simpler times man. That’s all I got to say.

Such great times man I was 12 when came out lol

rip kobe

Never gets old

God i love this intro out of all of 2K

Man I remember playing 2k12 blacktop till like 1 in the morning with my friends and lil brother 😂 2k will never be as great as it was back then🤦🏻 smh

Omg nostalgia

İ loved basketball and Nba with this intro, nba 2k12

This damn near made me cry I miss being a kid life was so easy and innocent I didn’t have to carry a gun or watch over my back when I went outside

Watched a group of people recreate this real life on a Tiktok video. Took me back

i didnt even realize john wall is in this intro

First 2k and Best 2k 💯🐐

Memories man

Best intro ever

Kurtis blow - basketball .. I love this openong

I remember my cousin "binge" playing this & he started purposley playing the intro to annoy me😂😂

RIP KOBE 😭

2k11 and 2k12 are my favorite 2ks I still play them

Favorite intro of any 2k

Easily the most hype intro by far. No question.

Who here is watching this before 2k20 comes out

Rip Kobe💛💜

Chills the whole time

The best intro ever
