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...

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

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.

Charles is the realest mf alive

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

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.

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

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.

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

Guess I’m going back to Barles Charkley

“Likeliness” lmfao

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

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

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.

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

This sums up 2K's greed. Chuck is also fighting the righteous fight looking out for all the retired players

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

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

I Respect Charles Barkley's Stance. He Is 💯% Correct. 1 Million Is NOTHING For NBA-2K.

Same reason Floyd Mayweather won’t ever be in a boxing game

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

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

I remember he wasn't in NBA Jam either

Chuck is a real one. Tryna get the bag for the fam cause they deserve it fo sho. Respect.

They’ll easily make over a mil a day with micro transactions

Charles Borkley 💀

2K will never agree to that. However I do respect his stance .✊🏾

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.

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

Sir Charles standing on business in a real way. Glad to see my childhood favorite player being a stand up guy

I just dont like seeing historic teams represented in the game without these legends

I’m still wondering why Reggie miller ain’t in it Edit: appreciate for 900 likes

Good for Charles looking out for the guys that didn't make much and are suffering physically from years of playing basketball

Always hoping for Barkley, R. Miller, & Rasheed. Every new 2K but nope we haven’t had Miller or Rasheed in 2K for awhile now. Barkley was in 2K13 USA team and 2K17 MyTeam at least..

Barkley is ALWAYS looking out for the less fortunate, he's just a lot more quiet about his multiple charitable causes and actions than Shaq and a few others.

They keep leaving out the 2008-2010 Lakers team and its frustrating.

No one talks bout Chris Webber being gone but it leaves a huge skill gap on the 02 kings

0:02 Pelicans ⚜️

Big respect to Chuck for this. 2K shouldn’t be able to reap massive profits off the likeness of players without them getting a fair share

2K stingy AF for not doing this. Shows that they care more about getting EVERY DAMN PENNY instead of giving the fans what they want.

The game is making MULTI MULTI MILLION DOLLARS. BREAK THESE DUDES OFF.

I would still pay like $20 for that plate even if though its cold. Looks 🔥

Charles barkley is cut from a different cloth. I respect him for giving a voice to retired players that aren't as popular as him nor do they have a platform to speak their mind.

at least Charles Barkley is in "Charles Barkley: SHUT UP AND JAM"

The last time Charles Barkley was in 2K was 2K13 with the whole team usa thing. And that online mode where you can play dream team vs the redeem team and you get to control one player. I scored 30 points with Barkley going 15/15 from the field. Good fucking times!

All is great here on Barkley's part, including Chris Webber and a few others on this stance. Yet it speaks volumes on the many many more NBA players that allow their likeness in these video games, without an ounce of care for the "old time greats" compensation.

Charles is OG

Nba 2k 13 has Charles barkley

Damn what’s crazy is I remember on NBA live in the late 90’s Barkley MJ and shaq was all just #99 but was raw as hell lmao

That's right Mr. Barkley. The Phoenix? The Sun? And Mercury? As many video games there are based on actual war combat mission. That's the Gemini ♊ impact all day all night! Let's get it... Let's GO! 🍿

50 years of basketball. That's a lot of Historical players that's still living these days.

I'm still waiting on Master P and OJ Mayo.

Actually barkley is playable back in 2k13 with the dream team on play now

Honestly it probably hurts his legacy a bit. Barkley was a beast, and having the ability to play as him would help people understand what he meant to the game.

Im already a huge Barkley fan ,now you moved up more Charles 🥰❤ love, love his realness

Reggie also not in it

Barles charkley: am i a joke to you?

barkley was in dream team in nba 2k13

Retired players go back to the ones still alive from 50’s and 60’s that didnt have the big contracts (by any standard). Kudos for charles for thinking of those players who had careers but werent fortunate enough to get the life changing contracts modern players get handed easily today.

I just want Reggie miller, Orlando woolridge and Barkley

"His likeliness" lol

Retired players should always be in the 2k games

Barkley has a backbone

He’s not in the inside the nba in the video game because he’s part of LIV golf now.

I can only imagine how CHEESE Reggie Miller Jumper would be

Asking Ronnie to cough up a milli is like asking EA to fix their servers

Despite Shaq’s best efforts to make him look like a clown, and the fact that he never got his ring, Charles Barkley has been one of the best spokesmen and faces of the league there has ever been in my opinion

Give them the money. It's worth it. Got a new subscriber. Was fun to watch. Great video

Watch.. Some year soon in the future theyre going to have a cover with Barkley and Reggie Miller. Finally putting both of them in the game. And its gonna sell like crazy

Is definitely like him to be there, had he been in the video games all these years he’d definitely have more respect & reverence from the younger fans, it’s the only way a lot of them learn about & gain interest about the legends in the sport.

Take 2 interactive is one of the biggest players in the industry and can definitely afford it owning 2k & Rockstar games they are the Rockstars of the industry

Just saw a post that Reggie Miller and Charles Barkley are going to be added to 2k23

I remember he was on 2k17

2k is genuinely the most money hungry organization in the world for a multibillion dollar company giving 1 million dollars to help old retired players is like giving a dollar to the homeless and it would be so cool as someone who plays a lot of myteam having Charles Barkley and Reggie miller would literally be a dream come true

They need to update it so Draymond is on the Halftime Show during the playoffs if his team is eliminated

the funny thing is is that 1 million dollars is less than 1% if 2k’s total wealth so it’s just them being stubborn at this point

Real selfless guy and it's great he wants to help older guys who may be bad off getting more money.. But this is the same guy known for that $1 salary conversion to bring Pippen to the Rockets.. Gotta love Chuck

Sir Charles is 110% correct on this i respect the shit out this mans decision he is taking a stand against greed

All retired players should stand with Barkley… 2k wouldn’t be close to what it is now if they all time greats were removed.

I thought he said a million to charity

If they fire Ronnie and hire someone at a discounted price, they could EASILY pay the other players.

Barkley commentary would definitely make the product better

Reggie Miller too. Byron Russell

Charles is in 2k 13 or 14 I think, you can play as him in the Dream Team, that’s about it.

Rasheed Wallace, Tayshaun Prince, Ron Artest just a few big stars missing.

I respect Charles Barkley for combating the greed in the gaming industry especially when he has the SAY to bring his team to the game. 2K makes way too much money for this not to be reasonable!

That's gotta be why the suns 93 - 95 teams aren't on there ever

Give credit to the 8 year old kid who interviewed Barkley to get this answer for us 2K fans. I did the same thing when I originally posted the interview on Twitter which blew up. Idk end of the day who cares but still let the kid can some momentum off it at least

He's not a game model. He doesn't get paid to be a game model. He gets paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court. Parents should be game models.

Solid Move from Chuck. He knows how much they generate in sales.

Wow, I never knew this. I don't blame Charles. The players now days are getting their money now. Players from a long time ago didn't have that type of access to money like that upfront. He's definitely starting a revolution here with how your likeness should be used especially from different eras.

Respect to Barkley for holding out so that everyone can get paid.

Give that man he’s money I loved playing with him

WOAH! That was a great vid, I'm hyped to keep watching and sub!

Greed is the downfall of fall of anything good!

I always create nba players in 2k so I have played a lot of nba legends in my rosters.

i just want westbrook back 😢 he’s gonna be 72 rated :/ there are rookies rated higher 🥶

10 toes down!! CB is a real one!!👍🏾

It's so frustrating that he's like this. I love playing with classic teams and reliving nostalgia. But my nostalgia is very limited, since I grew up in Arizona with two parents from Indiana.

Thats not even a lot. 1M for all the players combined? That's nothing for 2k
