Multiple outlets are spilling the beans about NBA 2K12's newest mode: NBA's Greatest. The mode seems to be an extension of The Jordan Challenge mode that was available in NBA 2K11.

This time around Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Julius Erving, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and 10 other unannounced all-time greats will be featured in this new mode.

At this time, the unannounced players are not the only thing shrouded in mystery here. It's unclear how many different scenarios or teams will even be included in this mode. This is being intentionally done so fans debate who they think should be included, according to 2K Sports.

The folks at 2K Sports want to go even further when it comes to re-creating moments in the NBA's Greatest mode by mimicking broadcasts from the '80s and even '60s. This means different camera angles, replay styles or even black and white video in order to bring people into the historical aspects of these games.

The NBA's Greatest mode seems like a really smart one when considering the ongoing NBA lockout, as well as the success of The Jordan Challenge mode last year.

"NBA's Greatest" will pit gamers, playing as the legend's team, against another team from that same year. The games will not necessarily be historic recreations of specific moments, like last year's "Jordan Challenge." Winning the game unlocks both teams for use throughout all the rest of NBA 2K12's modes.

The matchups:

1964-65 Boston Celtics (Russell) vs. Los Angeles Lakers
1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks (Robertson) vs. Lakers
1970-71 Lakers (West) vs. Atlanta Hawks
1971-72 Lakers (Chamberlain) vs. Knicks
1984-1985 Philadelphia 76ers (Erving) vs. Bucks
1985-86 Celtics (Bird) vs. Hawks
1986-87 Lakers (Kareem) vs. Celtics
1988-1989 Detroit Pistons (Thomas) vs. Bulls
1990-91 Lakers (Johnson) vs. Portland Trail Blazers
1992-1993 Bulls (Jordan) vs. Charlotte Hornets
1993-1994 Houston Rockets (Olajuwon) vs. Denver Nuggets
1994-1995 Knicks (Ewing) vs. Orlando Magic
1995-1996 Bulls (Pippen) vs. Seattle Supersonics
1997-1998 Utah Jazz (Stockton) vs. Lakers
1997-1998 Jazz (Malone) vs. San Antonio Spurs.
