"I'm Coming Home" Mod- BLAZERS AND CAVS

Hey guys, sorry if I made another thread for my mods but this time it has nothing to do with globals, cybefaces, sweetfx, or mycareer saves.

Ever since LeBron James left Miami to join the Cavs saying, "I'm coming home.", there have been many articles speculating what the NBA would look like if their superstars too would "come home" to their respective city where they were raised/born.

So in this mod, I am going to do just that.

I will be basing the starting five in this article by elite daily sports

Yup. But I'll soon be expanding it. Maybe a custom jersey? a custom stadium/floor file? Who knows

This will be cool - I'm looking forward to it

Here are some bench options for the Chicago/Illinois Team if you're going to go that deep:

Coach: Doc Rivers
High School: Proviso East
College: Marquette
Career Highlights: NBA All-Star, NBA Coach of the Year, 2008 NBA Champion (coach)
Rivers was a McDonalds All-American at Proviso East in 1980 before playing at Marquette. During his collegiate career, Rivers was named the MVP of the FIBA World Championship in 1982. During his playing career, Rivers was an All-Star in 1988 and finished in the top five in the league in assists twice. As a coach, he won the NBA Coach of the Year while with the Orlando Magic in 2000, and won an NBA championship as coach of the Boston Celtics in 2008.

Evan Turner

Turner, like Isiah Thomas, graduated from St. Joseph High School in suburban Westchester and took his talents to Ohio State. In 2010, he was named the AP, Naismith and Wooden NCAA National Player of the Year, as well as the Big Ten Conference Player of the Year. He was the second overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers.

Late in the 2006-07 season, he was traded to the San Antonio Spurs, with whom he won an NBA Championship that spring.

Ok, thanks for the heads up HAWK23. By the way, can I use a part of your roster to make this mod? If not, its fine

Great idea here guys!

I wouldn't modify the stadiums or jerseys. That would be fairly pointless for a mod like this.

This seems like a good idea, though.

wow, this should be fun! great idea bro, good thinking

Which part?

Andrew is also going to utilize my mod for a roster he's making, but he is just going to tell people from the start that they need to download the UBR before installing his roster. That may just be easiest.

P.S. If you decide to make floors/cyberfaces/jerseys whatever it would be cool if you named them things that wouldn't conflict with the UBR, because I would be interested in playing with this roster too, but that is up to you.

I'm thinking UBR v18 as it is updated but I've compiled all the cfs anyways so there won't be any missing cfs/heads. If that's okay with you.
(Portait.iff, needed cyberfaces, roster and the likes)

Teams done:
-Cleveland
-Portland

These two teams have their own starting five.
Cavs
PG Trey Burke

Will post some screenshots later!

Thanks for understanding.

Ok then. I'll just use Alby's roster as a base for this.

bro stephen curry was BORN in akron..but idk id=f ur doin born or raised

Just checked and he is born there. Might consider changing the lineup later.

Yeehaw! so many great mods coming this summer. It's just crazy!

Would you include Seattle to that roster, please? the city and great ballers deserve it! and as far as I know Kosta Koufos is from Greece...

PREVIEWS:

Some of the teams in the article make no sense. For example, the Hornets team in the article has Steph Curry, Chris Paul, and John Wall. That's too many guards.
