This morning, Midway passed along the long-awaited (well, by somebody...right?) list of Ballers who will be playable in their upcoming arcade basketball title, NBA Ballers: Chosen One. The full list features 81 NBA stars altogether: 67 present-day ballers, alongside 14 of the game’s legendary players.
They also put together a short montage that shows off in-game renders of each of the Ballers’ faces, as well as some previously unseen game footage. You can check that out above; the complete roster (in no particular order) is available after the jump, so you can start your cheering and/or complaining in the comments.
It’s a pretty solid group of players, and there’s plenty of variety, even among the legends. But how can you have an arcade basketball game, which is ostensibly all about doing crazy things with a basketball (including dunking), and not include Spud Webb? I call shenanigans!
NBA Ballers: Chosen One will be out for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on April 21st.

Jason Kidd Vince Carter Andre Iguodala Andre Miller Ray Allen Paul Pierce Kevin Garnett Chris Bosh Andre Bargnani Stephon Marbury Nate Robinson Zach Randolph Chauncey Billups Rasheed Wallace Lebron James Larry Hughes Jermaine O'Neal Danny Granger Kirk Hinrich Ben Wallace Michael Redd Andrew Bogut Shaquille O'Neal Dwyane Wade Ricky Davis Gilbert Arenas Antawn Jamison Rashard Lewis Dwight Howard Jameer Nelson Jason Richardson Gerald Wallace Adam Morrison Joe Johnson Josh Smith Al Horford Carmelo Anthony Allen Iverson Marcus Camby Andrei Kirilenko Carlos Boozer Kevin Durant Luke Ridnour Sebastian Telfair Al Jefferson Greg Oden Brandon Roy Steve Nash Amare Stoudemire Elton Brand Sam Cassell Kobe Bryant Lamar Odom Ron Artest Mike Bibby Baron Davis Stephen Jackson Tim Duncan Tony Parker Dirk Nowitzki Jason Terry Pau Gasol Mike Miller Chris Paul Peja Stojakovic Yao Ming Tracy McGrady

Ya know, at least Basketball games at least have some variety in their play styles and games. Football (my RL love) still has yet to interest me since Blitz which was almost 8 years ago.
Don't get me wrong I am sure they can make a fantastic game like this, but how can you call it "The Chosen One" with out the Chosen One (No, not Lebron James. The original Chosen One...)

Vince Carter!? Boo!!!
And where is Primoz Brezec? This game needs a Slovenian gangsta.

Mugsy Bougues can't dunk. Spud Webb for lyfe. BOOMSHAKALA!
I choose you, Paul Pierce!
Paul Peirce Uses GETTING STABBED

The game turned out pretyt well. If you guys are looking for a fun multiplayer game I think you'll really dig the new NBA Ballers game.
@ Popculturejoe: Perhaps... ^_^
