the lyrics for this song are just fucking amazing. Not a huge fan of this kind of music, but these lyrics are very meaningful. After falling in love with the 2k11 soundtrack, I was VERY dissapointed with 2k12's soundtrack. This, along with Fast Lane, Rock Hood, and the one where it goes "everybody here trying to steal the show" but I don't know what it's called. 2k11's music was way better. By the Numbers is seriously one of the most awful songs I've ever heard.
If you look in on an NBA point of view this song tells about those legends Nba Players even long retired on the court their legacy and memories on their past games will still live on forever... :)
What the hell is wrong with people in our country that sports and music are seen as the only viable ways to "make it"? Watch Hoop Dreams, don't bank on basketball as a career for your kid, make sure your kid gets an education, and feed him something besides McDonald's cheeseburgers.
love this song. Hoping to be an NBA player one day. Next year i go to high school. Im 6'0 tall, 175 pounds, center on my team. (if there was a billboard for my team, I would be the middle).
I have a pretty good 3pt shot, and i average about 11 points a game. does anybody think I can make it?
@4321zik it shouldnt matter what people have to say. youll always have those people to put u down. Just work hard and be the best u can be. give it all u got. no matter how hard it gets dont give up. prove your friends wrong. and just think michael jordan didnt make his high school team right away. but he didnt give up. so u shouldnt either no matter what
Nba 2k12 brings some of the best unknown artist no big names on this except for 2. N that's awesome giving them a shot knowing millions of ppl will buy this game
Good job my son who is going to be a future NBA player loves this song listens to it everyday since it came out> Remember this name NAIJA CHANDLER will here it again in the future getting drafted into the NBA.
I could not wait when Lebron changes his number. I hope his lost last season would remove the "Fat couch syndrome" I believe he's going to be one of the greatest.
I'm not saying that EVERY LEGEND has a 3 in their jersey. I'm saying that ALL the 2k12 cover players each have a combination of 2 and or 3 in their jersey. Nuff Said :D
