Aside from the fact that every single legend should be wearing their uniforsm from whichever team they succeeded with (like they have in NBA Street games), the Legend teams in NBA Live can be improved by including WAAAAAAAAAAAAY more people. I realize that only players in the NBA PLayers Assocation can be in the game, but NBA Live should at least give us the option of creating them and adding them to the Legends teams (like I did in NBA Street V3, where I created Jordan, Barkley, the Admiral, Hakeem, and Rodman, and they all looked EXACTLY like their real life counterparts due to NBA Street V3's deep face creation tools and their complete choices in classic uniforms).
With that said, along with the 5 players mentioned above, I'd also make sure that ALL of the 50 Greatest Players are included. I've put an * next to people who aren't "IN THE GAME":
