So it looks as though Scottie Pippen has come full circle and actually decided to join the rest of the Dream Team in NBA 2K13. This coming off of the all-star’s mysterious exclusion from the original roster that 2K released earlier in the month. What gives? Well, according to Kotaku, it was his wife. The lead marketing director for 2K was quoted as saying that “I believe she sent out a couple of tweets about it, one saying she was working on it. She told us their 11-year-old son was really disappointed, too.”

The same article also brings to light one possible reason that Pippen opted out in the first place. Apparently, Scottie had licensed his likeness to be used in NBA 2k11 and NBA 2k12 under a group license offered by a retired NBA players’ association. In the hopes of reaching an individual deal with 2K, he left that agreement.

Whatever. The good news is that he’s back. His rating? A cool 92.
