The game is tied. My team has just gotten the defensive rebound, and I have twenty seconds to score and win the game. I have decided to pick my own pick up team for the game vs my online opponent. NBA 2k15 is a competitive game, so winning this game is essential. Using past and present players, I chose Michael Jordan and LeBron James, arguably the two best players on the game.
