Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/07/21/nba-2k12-hits-the-hardwood-on-october-4-taps-michael-jordan-ma/">aren't the only classic ballers</a> hitting the virtual hardwood in <em>NBA 2K12</em> on October 4. 2K Games has confirmed that Julius Erving (Dr. J) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will also be in the game. Personally, we've got our fingers crossed for a mini-game where you get to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsSoX6qB9N0">fight Abdul-Jabbar, <em>Game of Death </em>style</a>.*<br />
<br />
These Hall of Famers will be playable in a new "NBA's Greatest" mode, where players can relive basketball's classic moments using 15 NBA teams of years past. These teams and players can also be unlocked for use against current franchises.<br />
<br />
Drive the lane into our gallery below to check out some screens of these guys in-game.<br />
