NBA Jam’s Eastern Conference Rosters Revealed
ESPN has revealed the full rosters for the 15 Eastern Conference teams, with the Western Conference set to be revealed next Tuedsay, September 14. A total of nine teams from the league have four current players as opposed to three due to fan voting being too close to make a cut. Each team (with the exception of the New York Knicks) has no more than two legends, with those players who were in the original arcade NBA Jam being favored over others.
Due to contractural issues, certain legends you'd expect to be in the game, like Reggie Miller -- and much more notably, NBA 2K11 cover man Michael Jordan -- aren't in the game. Besides those issues, as a result of having to lock down the roster before certain moves were made, some players are on the wrong team. For instance, Al Harrington is still on the Knicks and Courtney Lee is still on the New Jersey Nets. According to ESPN, that will only be fixable on the PS3 and Xbox 360 version of NBA Jam, which is included with NBA Elite 11.

The new NBA Jam is less than a month away and, before now, we still didn't have any idea of who would actually be in the game. The obvious choices -- Kobe, LeBron, Dwyane Wade, and so on -- are undoubtedly going to make the rosters for their respective teams, but what about the teams without such standout stars?
