'NBA Playgrounds' Confirmed Stars and Legends: New players revealed for upcoming game

Impact

The roster of NBA players past and present set to be included in the upcoming NBA Playgrounds gets more impressive by the day.

NBA Playgrounds is a new arcade-style hoops title from Saber Interactive that features gameplay reminiscent of NBA Jam, with an artistic design that will remind some of NBA Street.

It also features a card-collecting element that piggybacks off of modes like Ultimate Team from EA Sports titles, as well as NBA 2K's MyTeam.

On Monday, the game's official Twitter account tweeted this image, revealing a handful of players that hadn't been seen in any of the previous press releases:

Shawn Kemp, Kristaps Porzingis, Larry Johnson and Ray Allen are all included as caricatured players.
