Former UNC Tar Heel[autotag] Rasheed Wallace[/autotag] is back in the spotlight, dishing out stories about his playing days and answering mysteries that people wondered about that only he would know.
A question on a few minds is why Wallace wasn’t featured anywhere on the new NBA 2k game. Well, Wallace revealed the reason to Gilbert Arenas on a recent episode of the Gils Arena Show, explaining that he won’t be on NBA2k24 or any moving forward until they “CTC (cut the check).
According to Wallace, he was offered 10k to be in the game. Instead, he passed due to how much the company makes, feeling the 10k was not enough for his likeness to a company that makes so much money. The segment was clipped and has since garnered over 2 Million views.

Wallace not being on 2k is a huge deal, with him being so instrumental to the 2004 Detroit Pistons Championship run and his impact on the Portland Trailblazers from 96-03. Wallace isn’t the first NBA legend to decline to be on the video game, joining Charles Barkley, who has criticized 2k for years to give players more money to have their likeness used.
