NBA Jam Eastern Conference Roster Revealed

ESPN has revealed the entire NBA Jam Eastern Conference roster, which was determined by fan voting.

The reveal also uncovers the legendary NBA players set to be included in the game, including Larry Bird and Julius "Dr. J" Erving. Because of his prominent feature role in NBA 2K11, Michael Jordan will not appear in the upcoming arcade basketball revival.

Each team will include 3-4 active players, along with one or more "legends." For teams without a proper legend in their history, EA has added the team's official mascot giving Toronto fans ample opportunity to dunk with a dinosaur.

As expected, late summer transactions are not reflective in the game's roster. Although we presume changes may be made to the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game, the Nintendo Wii version of the NBA Jam revival does not support any online modes making the possibility of a patch difficult to expect.

ESPN weighed in on the selections, discussing notable omissions and revealed the Western Conference would be announced next Tuesday. NBA Jam is scheduled to launch on October 5 for the Nintendo Wii and as a downloadable bonus with new copies of NBA Elite 11 for Xbox 360 and PS3.
