What if NBA Stars Today Played in the 1980's?! (2K Live Simulation)

GUYS we are going all the way back to the 1984-1985 NBA season, and we are placing STARS in todays game such as Luka Doncic, LeBron James, Giannis, Zion, and more INTO the era Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson played in! How would these players do in the 80s? Would they rise up and be better? Or do wore? WELL we drafted these guys into that year using a random wheel, and simulated a season and live playoff scenario on NBA2K22 to determine the winner! So I hope you guys enjoyed todays video, and thanks for watching:)

[@CoralSSC]

[@CoralSSC]

@Palisades Crew same

[@almighty_ant8589]

You should do a video where u put nba stars on teams YOU think best fit them

[@therealbb50]

For the first time in forever, Giannis, didn’t win

[@jamisonlamkin5576]

Without spoiling it I’m very proud of the winners!

[@pocmin3887]

That Kareem block on Giannis was nasty, saved the series.

[@everythingcollectibles]

Me: wondering why Giannis can wear 34 for Philadelphia (since Charles Barkley wore that number) Also Me: Realizing that Charles Barkley isn’t in 2K. 😦🤦🏻‍♂️

[@cristofercastro2179]

Why?

[@ownbyowen]

but he appears on this video

[@everythingcollectibles]

@@ownbyowen No he doesn’t.

[@Alhorfordlover123]

@@everythingcollectibles yes he does Edit: time stamp 4:40

[@everythingcollectibles]

@@Alhorfordlover123 Damn, your right! Also: Stupid 2K!! Giannis should be wearing another number then!

[@nobs5111]

you also need to consider the players in the 80s didn't have sport science or healthy habits or training methods. they literally did coke and smoked weed before the game , smoked cigarettes at halftime

[@xjvy]

dude its a 2k simulation

[@sanjeevta]

Can you do a video where every nba player is a 99 overall. I think it would be cool to see how teams would have to play with every one being so good. I understand if you dont have the time for it tho

[@haydenstanczyk6389]

Yesssss

[@francomichelin9076]

Another challenge, Put the superstar players in madden in different teams.......This will be bad blood.

[@warrenshelly2620]

I second this notion

[@hudsondixon8583]

Bill Russell underrated

[@HalftimeProductions]

big facts

[@thehimboys3270]

how about one where u take every teams worst ever record and put it in 2k to see who has the best worst team :)

[@markuicker6444]

Bro that first picture is Barry Lird and Jagic Mohnson 💀

[@-that_one_smxlly-1810]

😖😖

[@CoralSSC]

Let’s go another fire vid

[@aneeshanand9621]

My team is the Brooklyn Nets but since that wasn’t a team in the 1980s I was rooting for the New Jersey Nets.

[@warrenshelly2620]

Lets get it its gunna be litty!!!! I LOVE THESE SIMS!!!!!!!!!!

[@jishisafish]

Dang I thought philly’s squad was ridiculous but the lakers just proved that they were just as big of a threat and shut them down completely.

[@FreddieYoung-cb7gv]

Took It Back To The Old School 🏫,Ya Dig Me Lol

[@nba2kfictionleague577]

Imagine Ja in transition with Showtime 😭😂

[@warrenshelly2620]

Both teams i predicted are the 1 seed lets get it

[@luckysparrow777]

If today's stars went back to the 80s the League would be packed

[@syldboys5311]

Great Video Make another on the 90s or 2000s

[@DKsHighlights]

POV: You’re here before Luka wins mvp like usual

[@juxyyzz]

It was magic Johnson lmao

[@standonbiz9863]

Another fireeee viddddd bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@akilelawless8460]

Lakers were having a block party in the Finals.

[@oct0pot]

Always perfect timing with the fire videos. Keep the content coming.

[@sportlegend4444]

jazz and 76s in the Finals

[@williamconner9921]

With the my NBA eras mode in NBA 2K23 your content even that more engaging

[@kben101]

Magic was 6-76 with the Timberwolves

[@invisiboilsillybulbs7967]

I didn't like how in the Barkley DeRozan matchup in the semi finals the last two attempts were a pair of dunks. Like who's just gonna let them walk inside with playoffs on the line IN 80$ Basketball? Nah it's be fouls or jumpshots

[@fuadahmed235]

Love the vids

[@mattbeezzyyyt5687]

ahhh another goated video🔥🔥

[@HalftimeProductions]

yessir!

[@nooooooooooooo1754]

Charles Barkley was all nba first off the bench and DPOY

[@loganlife8726]

for the next video you should put the 1980s players into the current nba

[@Azboy0218]

Video idea combine top 2 players of every team all time Example Lebron and D wade Lebron Wade

[@helpfulhacker1433]

I’m snackin on some KitKats 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

[@almighty_ant8589]

You should do a video where u put nba stars on teams YOU think best fit them

FIRE, is it just cheese ?

[@jacobscott3455]

Perfect snack, Chipotle bowl!! New Apollo Asado

[@deangelocooper3507]

halftime put the best teams that have won in your simulations into a season

[@cloakeddisguise2105]

Day 1 of asking for a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar career resimulation

[@joshdifiore5058]

Lakers winning it all

[@akinolunloyo9280]

Charles Barkley off the bench

[@maximiliantuttle4618]

The commentary 🔥

[@rjori12]

This was probably the most accurate sim you ever had HTP. 1980 NBA Finals Lakers vs Sixers. But Lakers in 6

[@KKerak]

Are you doing this on PC with the Ultimate Base Roster? Or are you doing this on console?

[@jacksonmcneil8271]

Bro maybe Oakley was right Giannis wouldn't be as good considering he didn't win dpoy for the first time I think ever

[@gingerfuu9174]

Ah yes the dpoy was won by none other than his teammate though😭

[@yyfins7057]

Video idea put wilt and bill russel in todays era and see what happens

[@erwinespinoza8277]

That cutscene at the end was fire overall great video

[@marygracebarrientos8963]

Ja morant in lakers wow they add a another point guard

[@sonnycapozzoli9539]

I think the sixers will never win a simulation

[@warrenshelly2620]

Lakers vs 6ers im calling it

[@warrenshelly2620]

Lakers win in 7

[@trisk902]

The top 3 offensive players of all time, on terms of consistency in ppg and efficiency is 1 - Michael Jordan 2 - Lebron James 3 - Kobe Bryant

[@trisk902]

Anyone from Wilts era or Wilt himself is disqualified btw

[@koalaboiii1955]

lets go lakers!!

[@ScottParisi]

Cool video. You didn't mention whether you turned on hand checking and disabled flopping.

[@paolocagz]

Magic doing Magic things! 💯

[@MrJaysoul13]

Get your Spicy Doritos ready

[@OrlandoMagicNationGang13]

Hey dude my magic did not even have a chance today man next time do 1994 season and 1995 and the magic will win ok?🙏😂🤬

[@b-richazor8086]

2K still needs to fix their A.I best player should always have the ball in their hands by certain time limit

[@jacobrackmyer8547]

You are literly the best simulation youtuber there is

[@AkriteChea]

Always gotta pick Deebo as my actual friend, but PG-13 is the better defender

[@antoniodelrosario3083]

I wonder how Curry will play in the 1980's

[@FwYami7]

These old jersey’s look fire 🔥

[@Azboy0218]

Love youre videos

[@cookingwithhearttm]

FINALLY MY LAKERS WON SOMETHIN!!! 😅

[@haydenstanczyk6389]

Everyone 99 overall for next vid keep up good work🙌🙌

[@7666joseph]

Gianns definitely got the heart and body to survive but lebron doesn’t lol I know people gone roast me

[@marinkitagawa0109]

And KD truly landed in Pheonix rn

[@LababaWsHere]

nice videos man🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎

[@johnkaylpalma6705]

block party finals 😂😂😂

[@williammendez5957]

Hey umm, did he say the GOAT Jayson Tatum??😂 2:51

[@45DOM]

My favorite team won the championship on my birthday 🎉

[@invisiboilsillybulbs7967]

Zion is a horrible choice to enter in as a top 25 modern player, since so far has proved nothing, but pretty solid other choices. But it was hilarious how Malone shot over him

[@lilyeet2631]

the sixers got two 70+ season back to back

[@jigglyjellyjaspy2728]

How did you do the trailer thing before the final?

[@Clipped_By_Pc]

I snack on goldfish most of the time

[@goatcheese267]

giannis dpoy is just like jonathan issac in 2k21

[@Splash_Buckets]

Can u do for next vid, duplicate the best player for each team. That means like the whole team is only filled with the best player playing lol

[@jasondasheep5725]

When you get to the finals you should live sim every close game

[@shanebarker3131]

1s...ahhhhh dammit

[@HalftimeProductions]

🔥

[@Onejayg]

Wendys breakfast number 7 with a strawberry lemonade

[@sebastianschneider4212]

Hey I looove your vids! It would make my year if you pinned this! Video idea: Put all 95+ players on all the teams that haven’t won a championship (example: Nikola Jokic-Charlotte Hornets) Thanks and keep up the great work!!!

[@benwalch9480]

Final four Lakers, jazz, 76ers and celtics. Championship Lakers vs 76ers. Lakers win.

[@arkx.5365]

Predictions: Lakers in 4 over Nuggets Clippers in 5 over Wolves Jazz in 4 over Rockets Blazers in 4 over Sonics Sixers in 3 over Knicks Pistons in 3 over Bullets Bulls in 5 over Nets Celtics in 3 over Hawks Lakers in 5 over Clippers Jazz in 7 over Blazers Sixers in 5 over Pistons Celtics in 5 over Bulls Lakers in 7 over Jazz Sixers in 6 over Celtics Sixers in 7 over Lakers

[@sanjithechef]

Wish u could change the rules for these older eras in 2k too.

[@smokecd105]

Do a double elim tournament day 2

[@malik1gamin213]

Mans predicted kd to phx😳

[@Draco_2_Nice]

Utah jazz for the win or Chicago👀😂

[@javonknight1246]

Can you do full games of the nba finals at least

[@Kombatman2003]

16:05 What was number #50 on the Rockets thinking? 🤔 🤦🏾

[@mooondo7333]

Cmon Nets, always root for them 💪🤣

[@splashzone6106]

Aye I think Ima go for the Lakers this time

[@brotheldan2009]

Dr. J didnt have his afro in 1985

[@SpongeBob_575]

that video was good

[@hughtrotman2212]

After seeing this can I truly say the Los Angeles Lakers are the greatest franchise in basketball? I mean a simulation like that could’ve gone 1000 ways but you had the Number one scorer of all time managing to prevail against all odds. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is invaluable no doubt about it but can I see that the Lakers are the best after this

[@sumeetbeniwal6365]

I am a rockets fan and for some reason we lose so much in these simulations

[@rjsquad5046]

Why did you have the grizzlies or the raptors and the Timberwolf’s in the video if there was no team back then

[@marcolarussa9468]

Kd to the suns is what needs to happen in real life

[@airdogg2067]

Giannis is the best defensive player in the nba

[@jayb1303]

In my opinion no he isn’t only because people like KD Mj Kobe Wilt ect.

[@chrisbreezy7705]

Can spurs go back to back!!! 🔥🔥

[@jarl.3705]

H-Town vs philly. Houston in 6

[@Coopasupa123]

I love your content I think the Lakers will win with Ja
