How Walter Davis was left off the NBA2K all-time Suns roster, we may never know.

Yet even though on the actual  all-time Suns roster he might not be a starter, there is no doubt that he would be included.

The reason that he has  to be on?

HE IS THE FRANCHISE’S ALL-TIME LEADING SCORER!!!  Imagine leaving a franchise’s all-time leading scorer off of their all-time roster? (Aside from Reggie Miller, who along with Charles Barkley, won’t allow his likeness in a game).

Sweet D would be the most unarguably great shooter on the roster, and – like a broken record – if the 3-point shot was a more central part of the game during his hey day, he would have probably been even better. In fact, there is only one more natural scorer who was left off of 2K’s all-time Suns roster that deserves a spot equal to – if not ahead of – Walter Davis.
