NBA Jam: Some Legends & Mascots Revealed

Trey Smith's interview has revealed a few of the playable NBA legends and mascots in NBA Jam. The legends mentioned in the video were Dennis Rodman, Clyde Drexler, Hakeem Olajuwon and Kevin McHale. Larry Bird and Magic Johnson have been mentioned as being in the game as bosses, so it's likely they'll be playable as well. As far as the mascots that will be available, The Raptor from Toronto and Rumble of the Thunder are the first two to be confirmed for the game.

For the purpose of maintaining a list:

Looks like we can add James Worthy to the list.

EDIT: Also Detlef Schrempf, according to this video.

This preview confirms Spud Webb and the late Manute Bol for the legends roster.

Manute Bol, RIP, will be a great Jam player from his superb shotblocking to his decent 3 point shooting. I'd probably team up Spud & Bol for a Jam duo

Agreed, Bol should be fun to play with. Spud might be a bit more challenging as I imagine his strength rating will be fairly low, but no doubt he'll be speedy and adept at coming up with steals along with a more than respectable dunking rating.
